Continuing the general BSD thread from >>51724709
What BSD do you like to use /g/ and why?
I like to use FreeBSD myself. I like it because it's really simple to use, anytime I've had a question the handbook has answered it, things like jails make testing really fast with the way I use them. There's other stuff too but I'm too tired.

none, because it's shit, has no drivers and is full of fbi backdoors
I use OSX
What are some beautiful fonts?
Also what faggot thought pic related would be a good idea?
Shut your whore mouth, Ubuntu's fonts are beautiful.
Freetype2-git w/ infinality and all the patented goodies
Fontconfig-ultimate patches
God tier. The liberation font family is my personal favourite.

Is it harmful?
Is so whats the best way to fix it?
Ghetto fixed appreciated.

It can be destructive in some situations. Theres an image floating around somewhere of a Gigabyte motherboard's PCI-E x16 slot completely destroyed by card sag.
In most cases though it results in the far end contacts from the notch having a harder time maintaining contact. If the sag is too far the lanes will lose the connection resulting in malfunctions, and in worst case scenarios board and card damage.
Best way to fix it is to either get a card that is properly supported (backplate or other...

I'm using a spare bit of 7/0.2 wire I had.
String would fine too but I found the wire first
Just route the GPU power cable above the GPU, and make sure that shit is tight. That way your cable is holding up your card, it helps a bit.

Anyone know F#? Should I learn it, will it impress HR?

Learn about automatons and grammar.

I already did that. I'll graduate soon with a CS degree.
How do you cope with the fact it is nearly impossible to come up with something useful that is not built already?
It happens every time, I thought about creating a program where you can add keywords and it would monitor the web for new mentions with cron every few hours or something.
Turns out Google Alerts exists......
Then a web app that keeps your bookmarks organized in categories, with descriptions and the ability to watch the content directly in iframes. I actually have and use that one but I know similar stuff exists, although its not the same at...

The way I cope with it is that I know I'll need to accept the normie life goal. Join in on an already big company or project instead of trying to make my own.
The way I see it you have two options.
1.) Join an existing company and make money
2.) Try to start a competing company
For the latter, try not to go for things like social media where it's universally used. For instance, trying to start a garage that does car tuning. Then move on to repair and parts fabrication. Take the...

Nothing does exactly what I want perfectly. Find out about things like Google Alerts and then start thinking about what you'd like it to do that it doesn't. Then find things that fill that space. Then code up the stuff that doesn't exist.
It's not that complicated. It just takes time. If you found you needed to code up a script literally every morning you would never get any real work done.
Stop looking for nails for your hammer. Just have your hammer handy.

I used to be naive like you OP. I would always come up with ideas and invetions but would quickly realize they already exist. Unless you are some kind of genius, you wont contribute anything to the betterment of society. Just like a normie life and move on I suppose

What is the best version of Android? Why isn't it 4.4.4
>>51736014
Because security exploits and slow buggy software doesn't make you good.
Imo Anything 4.4+ haven't tried 6.0 yet though
5.1
because its better than 4.4.4
Alright g, I need a hand. I've been in IT for going on 18 years. I've been primarily a user of propriatary hardware and software. For the most part I've supported Windows environments going as far back as NT4. I held an MCSE back when they meant something in the early 2000s. As I've progressed in my career I've added other propriatary technologies like NetApp, Netbackup, Cisco, F5, Palo Alto, VMware, Exchange etc. I'm far from a linux/unix noob but I'm nowhere near ready to call myself a proper linux admin. I've been toying with it since...

My plan is to create a new isolated tenant and replicate the features of my current lab space using FOSS software. Once I understand how to use and manage the new software I'll start migrating paying tenants to it. What software would you use to replicate each of the features I've identified as needing a replacement above? The only thing that's completely off the table is Zentyal. I've tried using it as far back as version 3.0 and it's been a shit since then.
I wish you luck in getting your answers, but nu-/g/'s experience doesn't extend much beyond ricing wm's in gentoo on ancient ThinkPads with broken backlight inverters.

THANKS ROYAL MAIL. Any of you /g/uys waiting/having your stuff stolen?

What? your phone must be fucking garbage if it was sent RM 1st class. They only insure up to £50.
Any decent company would use DPD or RMSD.
