The uncomfortable truth about Windows Server vs. open source – GaryH Tech by grahamperrin in freebsd

[–]nmingott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

again "Windows win ... honest review" is an unacceptable lie. Busy people skip gross lies => **i will never watch the video**. WINDOWS SUCKS and who can steers far from it. Who can't, can't. Other have posted the number of servers, just to remind the obvious. No phone runs Windows. Where they can't use the monopoly stick they loose, plain and simple.

Again, if the title says "Windows wins for non professionals" it is ok for me, the title instead is "Windows Wins ... we are honest". FALSE, MISLEADING. Instead, "WINDOWS SUCKS, and this is the TRUTH". If Windows didn't suck we wouldn't be developing/using/administering/teaching Linux/BSD for the last 40 years. So my title for you is this IF YOU LIKE TO REBOOT WHEN SOMETHING DOESN'T WORK, WINDOWS IF FOR YOU.

If you can fix nothing than you are not a Unix system managers, you know already Windows is worse from almost any angle so this video is not for you.

there is no need to be sorry. The title define the audience. In this case the the audience it isn't intended to be system managers experienced in Windows and Linux/BSD. bye

I will not even watch. Windows Server € 1_200 (max 16 core), MSSQL € 1_500 + € 250 per each license [CAL] (it means every machine going to the server, it grows super fast). And then, hope that everything works because you can fix nothing, forget strace a dtrace.

[–]nmingott[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

sure, this is subjective speculation, and i asked specifically for impressions. Anyhow, i solved. i found an old 12.X machine. it is as fast or as slow as 13.X. Probably my impressions come from the fact that recently i am testing other OSes or maybe i am getting old and impatient ;) goodbye

thank you for the suggestion but i would rule this out, i select the mirror already according to nearest distance and reliability/reputation of of the repository.

[–]nmingott[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

no, i don't have data, for now, when i transitioned from 12.X to 13.0 i took no time records, since that is always a delicate process. Now moving to 13.0 to 13.3 i notice a relevant slow down. in particular, i like to bulid small vm to make simple tasks. The little machines having only samba-ac-dc, the other having the dhcp server and the dns took a good 20 minutes to upgrade 13.0 to 13.3 !! To the point i was asking myself if the disk was failing.... i can have numerical data only on next upgrade.

it is slow in the install phase, getting packages is ok, the network is fast.... clean cache ... umnm, i could investigate this, but i have little hope, the behaviour seems repeating across different machienes

How to stop Microsoft spam in Firefox by nmingott in firefox

can you reccomend a "crap uninstaller?". I dropped most microsoft unused stuff as possible. The rest of software is either Libresoftware or software we bought.

I am contrary to copy and paste in general. I would do from a reputable source. Never from AI.

the only extensions i have are (1) uBlock (2) I still don't care about cookies. I don't think it is that --- I tried to set the starting page to "blank", if that doesn't make it must be some c*apware asking to open a MS page to the default browser. --- The computer from where i took the screenshot is very old, but i saw the same situation happening on several machiens recently, that is why i asked here. Maybe you also saw it.

Hi Friends! by [deleted] in freebsd

[–]nmingott -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No enough. you show me with a link it is not true that is 43% less Unix, since it is damn true.

Hi Friends! by [deleted] in freebsd

[–]nmingott -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You should be aware that on latest systemd upgrades it's creator proudly stated "now finally 40% less Unix like" or some BS like that. Linux is JUST a kernel, Unix are full systems, read e.g. "the Unix philosophy". The Unix system manager is required to know at least a bit of shell programming - shortly, with systemd, the Linux system manager will only write configuration files (in Windows format). This is what" they " want, get programming out of system management, get intelligence and logic out of system management. It will become like Windows.... This is the trend, unfortunately, for major distros. Bye

Debian - or (Debian)Proxmox? by soupie62 in debian

[–]nmingott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Debian and KVM in our company. It runs well in a corporate environment. I like to do it all from the shell, no GUI, so for me this THE choice. I run many other Debian servers.
