  • You said

    gaming wasn’t possible because of stutters

    I searched what ‘stutters’ mean, I don’t know this word, and I’ve just found the definition of people who suffer of speech disorder :)

    I wouldn’t trust USB Ethernet adapter if latency is important to me but maybe I’m wrong it’s just superstition. I’ve just used one time OPNsense for the work and just for checking some network information but I remember saying it was a nice web ui haha






  • No problem, I appreciate ;) I hope my answer was not too rude !

    At the beginning to try something different, curiosity. I’ve began to write a comparison but in fact I can not doing that because I never used Linux for self hosted services, just for user things like… Checking my mails. I find it easier for that side.

    But, for example , after setting my first jails , I’ve read how I could’ve done it on Linux. I’ve found lxc (for example) hard to learn and configure while chroot was not enough secure to my taste without a little bit tuning. Jail is native, it’s one conf file, easy to read and write, and four lines in rc.conf to enable it (with its own virtual network interface). With zfs it’s easy to deploy the same base system for all your jails and to maintain it update and it’s fully isolated. Want to enable another service ? Write theservice_load=“YES” in rc.conf. no systemd linking with some file or whatever I don’t know. Same if you want an additional virtual network (+1 more line). Customizing your kernel, build it and installing it is one conf file to edit +4 for short command line (don’t know how to do on Linux)…

    Again it’s not a comparison, it’s just why I stay with freebsd, maybe it’s more comfortable to me because I’m not doing real hard security things, I’m not a pro sysadmin , but I found doing and learning those things (customizing kernel, jails and other things) was (really) easy when reading the clear docs. And many security things are native.

    Sorry for the long answer ^











  • Yes the beaglebone black is currently powered by USB. Unfortunately I am not able to debug the board while it’s not working due to my lack of skill… I don’t know how to do… Maybe I can read dmesg on the bbb for a message stating this nonworking state while it asks for passphrase on the PC for a first step… Yes once it’s booted, freebsd see it as a single hid device, just a hid device




  • I understand. I’m not using sway and urxvt as someone more skilled would do. I’ve Made this config some years ago to try but nowadays I’m not doing computer things anymore but I’ve kept this config because it’s light, fast and it’s simply working. So basically, today I’m just copying my passwords from pass in urxvt to my webmail in Firefox with my mouse for checking mail …
