    freebsd-update is broken, it does internal spaghetti which prevents it from doing the most logical thing first: "check upstream for updates"

    I created a work around, it works well.

    I don't use FreeBSD, but it's good for a hobby OS. Has a few cool ways to do things (seperation of OS vs external software & /etc/rc.conf). The project is coasting on ZFS success.

    They HATE me at the FreeBSD Forums. I don't think a single one of them truly understood what freebsd-update-probe actually achieved.

    I'm not a programmer.

    It makes the update process efficient like it should have been (when there are no updates).

    I gave FreeBSD a try:

    I provided a workaround for a problem with freebsd-update, summary and tool can found here: https://github.com/tux2bsd/freebsd-update-probe

    FreeBSD separation of OS vs other applications is great.

    FreeBSD pioneered ZFS integration but are coasting on that success.

    The FreeBSD forums, linked from the FreeBSD website are insular. FreeBSD zealots LARPing as the true "true" BSD / Unix enthusiasts.

    If you want to try FreeBSD just use the Handbook. The FreeBSD community is childish and won't list that FreeBSD can run on KVM (the mere fact it can, I'm not talking in depth instructions).

  • The temptation of writing shell scripts, illustrated

    I loathe nearly all man pages, they are written in a manner that is as over the top and an absolute chore to digest. I believe it is a form on programmer one-upmanship, it is largely unnecessary and stalls common usage massively.

    I made this recently and tried very hard to make it so that the vast majority of people that could use the command line could grasp what it did, usage is trivial:

    I guess what I'm saying is I like documentation written for humans (which you do).
