We ended up with the realization that the rental housing stock in the Bay Area are all very old, usually not well maintained and depending on the area, very likely to have or have had water damage, the only thing we could do to get into newly built housing, was to rent an apartment.
The amount of bad information and advise is pretty staggering – if you're adversely reacting to the environment you're in, the best thing you can do is remove yourself from it, then accept that you may never be able to return to it.

You should look into dtrace and it's new Linux counterpart who's name currently alludes me. It's almost like being able to do just that.
Back then fbsd had something called accept filters, which basically made the accept call only return when a http request was received in the network buffers.
Systems running fbsd loaded up different than Linux, kept being responsive. On same hardware, could do 3-5x more rps with lower load iirc.
As my applications at the time became more cpu bound, I switched to Debian around 4.11.
I've recently been using 10.x, coming back to fbsd from 10 years of Debian. I love what you've done while I was gone. Especially binary packages and easy upgrades, but especially jails and zfs.
