Re: Light humour
I am reading this mailing list and wanted to share my thoughts too. GNU/Linux and *BSD should go hand in hand. There is no conflict there. Both cherish open source and freedom culture. Maybe one is more of a fighter type the other more of a generous type, who knows, but for sure both brilliant. Please, don't make assumptions about average GNU/Linux user, from one blogger that seems to be a bit confused. In my opinion average GNU/Linux user respects all *open alternatives*. And because I like examples, I will just mention "Debian GNU/kFreeBSD". Also I think most GNU/Linux people (including me) are really happy about the ZFS port, so what can I say more ...

Happy to share my sources … they're stored on a PC at work. I think the original is actually already in HD (or somewhere in-between NTSC and 1080p -- for example, I might have done it as 1024x768 for some reason… maybe because the Render was taking too long). Either way, what you're seeing on YouTube is already down-sampled several times (I down-sampled once from the original source to DVD R5 and that was further down-sampled for effects and YouTube). The original video is also over an hour long (so imagine lots of Gibibytes). With respect to getting an up-to-date version, what's going to be of value are my gource scripts that configure the rendering environment. A lot of trial-and-error went into figuring out what works and what doesn't work (especially when you start reaching 100,000 nodes and 50,000 edges; configuring the physics of the render was an art in patience as well as persistence). Aside from that, gource takes input from CVS (using a Perl script I tuned for the job), SVN (natively), and Git. So that's good news for getting an updated render -- we just apply the configs for that video but swap out the CVS log file for an updated SVN log file. Then of course… we either throw massive hardware or lots of time at the rendering process. (note: a $1200 rig with a fancy graphics card took over a month to render the original video and reaches speeds as SLOW as 0.03 frames-per-second in the rendering process). -- Devin _ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.

The people who don't understand enough to believe this crap won't use any BSD and go to Linux instead. It all contribute to the same quality as Linux already is.

Re: Light humour
I found it a few weeks ago. I left a comment in the jails article about citing sources. Comments need moderator approval, and of course it was never approved. The blog actually turned up in google's list in the front page when I searched for "FreeBSD Linux jail." I read an article on slashdot that BSD style licenses are becoming more popular, probably realizing the long term ramifications of GPL style licenses. I think the most dangerous thing in many GPLed projects is "any later version." It gives the FSF licensing control instead of developers. There needs to be a pro-BSD blog. Regarding the licensing differences, it's simple. BSD: "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it was meant to be." GPL: "If you love something, set if free, but put a chain around it's neck to make sure it doesn't get out of sight."

Where's the pro-BSD blog(s) to offset it? :) A pro-BSD blog is a great idea. But let's not get into the Linux bashing the same way he bashed BSD. I personally like both OS very much, and I think they have a symbiotic relationship. Also, the ultimate freedom in licenses is the freedom to choose which version of freedom you like. I personally prefer the BSD license. But I respect those who prefer the GNU license. ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: Light humour
Not criticizing, just commenting. I heard such utter nonsense sometimes, in which people do believe despite all common sense, that I'm not amused, but scared :) This blog is humor to very small, limited group of people, and at same time it's anti-bsd blog to bigger audience, who will not bother read some lines, instead peek in title, get few words here, few there, and close it. In they memory will be essence - that *BSD is suck, probably not allover, but they will remember that there are exist areas in which BSD have big problems. Mix this with lacking `nextgen techs` like KMS, decent virtualization level, no utf-8 in console and other myths, partial myths, or obsolete problems of old releases, and you'll receive bad opinion on BSD. But, there's not much to be done actually :) -- Regards, Alexander Yerenkow ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
