* The RealTek 8139 PCI NIC redefines the meaning of 'low end.' This is
* probably the worst PCI ethernet controller ever made, with the possible
* exception of the FEAST chip made by SMC. The 8139 supports bus-master
* DMA, but it has a terrible interface that nullifies any performance
* gains that bus-master DMA usually offers.

if this offends you or feels too personal this is what it’s like to constantly be asked questions about our gender identity. while I may entertain it for some, it is exhausting to have to justify how I feel about myself to others. I’m willing to answer some questions but only if the person asking is respectful and understanding of the fact I may not want to discuss it.
@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe Do you or anyone at the bsd cafe have any write ups/blogposts for NIS? I'm aware of https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/network-servers/#network-nis but I was curious if someone also spent time to do a write up about their experience with it compared to other solutions like directory 389 and Windows Active Directory. I am slowly becoming more bsd inclined. My infrastructure relies on multiple vms right now and I'd love to setup NIS with OpenLDAP to control groups between my linux hosts for the instance. (we have a separate postgres vm, a separate vm for nginx/haproxy and so forth). Thinking NIS might be perfect here and I can use the need as an excuse to learn more about NIS and how it operates
@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe I’m curious by what the handbook means when it says "sync configs". Of course there’s an OpenLDAP section below, which makes me believe it’s not just syncing users and their corresponding groups. If I could do something like sync /etc/skel between hosts that’d be pretty cool. I remember I once set up an ubuntu server that made each account have zsh as the default shell with a barebones zshrc consisting of antigen plugins to make it feel a bit like fish with syntax highlighting. I mean sure I have terraform and ansible but one of bsd’s appeals to me is how homogenized userspace utilities are. They all work together instead of feeling like I have to hack them all to deal with various quirks.
@wyatt8740@tech.lgbt@ada@zoner.work either way even if he properly hosed it the system was recoverable (worst case do debootstrap to get the system back to a sane configuration)
@mcc@mastodon.social of course i find out about this view the day they're shutting down, i probably would've used the site a lot more if i knew about this.
