I use it as a daily driver. I have tried to use it in some shape or form for the past 20 years. I made a career in Linux and Windows, but always have had a heart for FreeBSD. A person I consider by technical mentor, loved FreeBSD. My first

I used to be a vim snob and thought everyone should use what I use. I am now an Emacs lover and believe everyone should use what works for them. I grew up!

Former racker here. When RAX laid me off, I was told there was no other place for me to go (which was not true). I loved my time there and the people I learned so much from and loved working with. It hurt. I had fantastic managers who did c

I agree. I have worked at various companies that use Red Hat/CentOS extensively and the only time I ever saw someone turn Selinux off was on RHEL 6. Ever since then, it has been easier and easier to use. Not saying it is perfect for ev

Works just fine on my Dell Precision 7540. Tried briefly to get GPU passthrough to work but failed. I lack the time to seriously try. Otherwise, it works great.

I completely agree. Every time I rush I get stressed and I realize if I would have just relaxed I would have gotten there just fine

I’m still using a Phenom X2 with now 12Gb of RAM. I do have 4 spinny 7200rpm drives. Got gifted some of those hard drives from a former company as they were slated to be thrown away (proper methods were followed to ensure they were wiped).

Same here, I thought this was great. Even though I have been in the "computer field" for a loong time, there is still so much to learn! I love articles like this.

works very well. I had it on a Samsung Galaxy S7 and sending messages was wonky due to a known issue with that and a few other Samsung Galaxy phones. However it was easy to setup, use, and absolutely love it, well done! KDE continues to imp

I thought it was very helpful. I am sending it out to my manager and others on our team. We have gone through a transition where I work, and a new product owner likes to send us implementation manuals as design docs because that's how

I have no college degree, or college classes at all, and have been doing systems engineering/software engineering for about 13 years now. All self taught/learning on the job. While it is nice not to have had college loan debt, I k

Former 9 year linux only user here, recently switched to using OS X (mostly) for development. I live in a terminal, always have, and unless I need something specific to linux that will not work on a VM, apart from the mac fancy button crap,

Slimta is probably the best MTA I have ever used. Pure python, cannot get any better!
