@beegrrl take your time, take care of yourself. We'll still be here when you're ready, and the vid will be exactly what it is [sic].

@klaatu thanks klaatu. Sometimes human brains are whack but that's okay because the diversity allows us to solve problems in unique ways.Also what's your favorite *BSD? And how do you feel about illumos?

@beegrrl My first BSD was Dragonfly. But my favourite is NetBSD, which is what my Pi currently runs (er, it would, if it were plugged in...gotta run cable in my new place, etc etc).I love Illumos. I have an OpenIndiana install on my non-work laptop. I did a little (very little) Solaris admin at an old job, and I quite enjoyed working with that system.

@klaatu that's pretty cool. I haven't played with dragonfly yet but I hear hammerfs is a great filesystem. I tend to use FreeBSD the most because it's ports tree feels familiar (like gentoo). Solaris is also really cool. I try to avoid proprietary software, hence illumos, but I haven't tried installing any of it's distros on my x220 yet. IPS is also cool despite being slow at times. What laptop do you run openindiana?

@beegrrl hp 2540p for openindianaIPS is a lot of fun.I ran freeBSD on a Toshiba for a year, enjoyed it. Then tried it on a Pi, spent a day configuring everything, and then a freak power failure corrupted the SD card. That's how I found out UFS wasn't journaled by default. Switched to NetBSD partly out of [petty] spite and partly because I knew it from SDF.org

@garpu @beegrrl it's still going strong. I follow its mailing lists, and intend to get more serious about it once there are no more bugs. Ok, maybe some bugs.

@klaatu i remember the pi troubles from GNU World order haha. Have you tried FreeBSD on the pi with ZFS? I don't know how resource intensive ZFS is, but I've pulled the battery out of a laptop running FreeBSD with ZFS and everything was fine when I booted it back up. In this one anecdotal example ZFS seemed to recover from abrupt power loss as well as EXT4 does
