> has way better performance

Do you have any performance comparison?

> many more capabilities

As...? Care to compare?

Nope, a typo -> netlix != netflix.

From https://github.com/authy/authy-ssh/blob/master/authy-ssh#L11...:

    Default action when api.authy.com cannot be contacted:
    
      1. Disable two factor authentication until api.authy.com is back
      2. Don't allow logins until api.authy.com is back

Most likely using "keepalive": http://nginx.org/r/keepalive

Obviously! However, I felt that used aircraft vs new flying car wouldn't be a fair price comparison.

> is $279K significantly cheaper than most private airplanes?

No, it's not. You can buy lower-end models of Cessna and Cirrus at similar price... and Cessna Skycatcher costs only half of that ($149,900).

Ah, indeed, it seems that FreeBSD is a lot less package-friendly than OpenBSD & NetBSD.

> FreeBSD is (more or less) moving towards pkgng, which has roughly the same goals.

Yeah, but the BSDs always had pkg_add and other pkg_* tools, pkgin is just a nice alternative that works on more than one system... I don't believe it provides any crucial feature that was missing in the pkg_tools.

> And yes, it's only for distribution. But if it works well, it's the only thing end users should care about.

From OpenBSD's FAQ:

    The ports tree is meant for advanced users.
    Everyone is encouraged to use the pre-compiled binary packages.

Basically, if you're running unmodified OS (i.e. official release) and don't enable any options disabled by default in the ports then you're just wasting CPU power rebuilding stuff that you could easily grab from the nearest mirror.

Only pkgsrc part of the community ;)

Also, it's only used for packages distribution and the packages are still build from the ports:

    pkgin is aimed at being an apt / yum like tool for managing pkgsrc binary packages.

> What a non-article. ZFS is more mature than an unmature and unstable filesystem? Really?

Keep in mind that, with one exception, ZFS is pretty much rock-solid from day one.

Also, you should really read: http://www.c0t0d0s0.org/archives/6071- No,-ZFS-really-doesnt-need-a-fsck.html

All alternatives look much better and are much smaller than GoPro nowadays :)

Why is he being downvoted?

As per RFC2119 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt):

    3. SHOULD   This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that there
    may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a
    particular item, but the full implications must be understood and
    carefully weighed before choosing a different course.

printf() introduces delay that is often enough to hide / "fix" race conditions.

No, because it's transparent for the content-provider and it doesn't require any changes to the website and/or it's code.
