Nice to see mfsBSD for FreeBSD. Pity it has taken this long though. OpenBSD has had it for years, I remember installing SUNOS with a MFS BSD as well. ;)

When you interview a candidate for an #engineering role, what is your default always go to question. As a long time #Unix and #linux engineer (grew up on old #SunOS boxes back in the early 90s), my go to:

"What does Sudo !! do?"

How many of you youngsters remember turning off the udp checksum to make SunOS NFS faster?

@Keldrim @nixCraft I already hated Oracle but when they bought Sun Microsystems I was REALLY unhappy. I have a lot of fond memories of #sunos / #solaris and those bloody planks just changed the copyright of everything Sun had written as if they were actually the authors. Maybe that’s a standard practice but it’s still dubious and I hate them for buying #SunMicrosystems and I for ever will. They are a horrible company with a long history of ruining things.
