Just when BSD should have gained more momentum. #systemdsux #jailsWereAroundBeforeContainers #ZFS

The program for this convention was very slim pickings anyway... Netflix is the only big company presenting (of course). I'm saddened how cloud providers have given no love to BSD.

What advantages does BSD have over Linux?

For me, I like understanding what's going on under the hood. OS's like FreeBSD are very straightforward. When I use even a carrier-grade Linux distro, I'm more detached to the internals and entrusting my setup more to some other party. You lose compatibility for more stability.

> #systemdsux

Why? I have managed around 100 linux servers for the last two years and systemd has always been extremely helpful and never caused an issue. At this point there is no real competitive alternative in terms of features or cohesiveness.
