But seriously, I picked up FreeBSD a few years ago when centos went proprietary. Just got back into fiddling with the box recently, and great timing!
I’ve set up web servers in Linux many times. The differences between distros makes learning and implementing things a bit more fragmented. FreeBSD still gives you options, but feels like the path is more straightforward.
2. I installed it when centos was dead and I was looking for a stable os for a web server. My main computer runs Linux Mint.
3. It’s the first one I tried. Might check out open bds and dragonfly when I get into hosting and virtualization.
4. I’m just limited by lack of knowledge. But I like that there’s a more common path to follow, with great documentation. For the things I have working now, I feel like I have a better handle on my config choices vs in Linux distros I don’t always know if I’m doing things the Linux way or the Ubuntu way.
5. Several nights and weekends playing with ancient hardware and alternative software.
Now the real problem the article talks about is the leaky transportation and disposal process. We chose to cut usage through policy and that reduced the amount of escaped waste. Plugging the leaks is a really hard problem, lots of design and engineering work to keep loose bags in bins, trucks, and barges.
For devs who write, I do it as notes to myself or others when I think I figured out something useful, especially if it was originally unclear or I didn’t find any helpful examples. I appreciate everything I’ve read by others and I feel like contributing.
Since I believe in the value of writing, I can understand devs doing corporate blogging. They’re a team player and want to promote the place they work at. Maybe they make a real impact on marketing and recruiting and like playing on a winning team. Getting paid to talk about and evangelize tech is pretty cool.
Edit: fix typo.
I suggest a lamy safari and a rhodia pad. You can get ink samples from goulet pens and try a bunch of different colors.
