The default bootloader delay is 10 seconds; you can probably tune that to one or zero, with autoboot_delay="1" in /boot/loader.conf

Otherwise, I'm not aware of any easy wins (unless you're running 10.1 or older, in which case set hw.memtest.tests="0" to disable the boot time memory test which is very time consuming if you have a lot of ram and doesn't seem to be very useful; it was disabled in 10.2 and later).

If you can see what steps are particularly slow, some of them might be influenced to be a bit faster (eg, if it's waiting on usb scan to mount disks, you can make that time out sooner if it's not necessary on your system; you may be able to do background dhcp instead of synchronous dhcp, etc). But I think someone could spend some real time making it faster to the benefit of those who boot often.

Edit: following in the footsteps of cperciva's work; especially the profiling setup.

> Freedom isn’t about being able to act without restrictions, it’s about not living under oppression

GPL 3 is repressive. If you make changes to GPL 3.0 code used to run a service, you must release them or the copyfeftists can use oppressive institutions of the State to make sure you do. How is that not oppressive?

> You can’t effectively build a walled garden with GPL code.
> So yeah, the GPL places more restrictions on derivative works but ultimately gives users more freedom than the BSD-style licenses.

"Restrictions on derivative works" is the same as restriction in "on users". Just keeping track of whether you modified GPL code used in external service (even if it's just a personal web site) is burdensome.

If I want to build anything for myself, including my own walled garden, copyleft won't let me.

I don't see how it "ultimately" gives me more freedom. Maybe that's the case in a world without private property - the freedom from property?) but thankfully we don't have that yet.
There should be a fourth fear in the "Giving Up" section: giving up a decent to great salary when being mediocre cuts it just fine in a lot of positions.
I sympathize with your viewpoint, having experienced McDonald's in India. My guess is that it doesn't pay to experiment and build a food culture - all the big companies can do is wait for a local success and then try to import it.

Food tastes vary a lot from person and place, so I do think it's very risky. To give you a successful example, poke bowls became popular in the urban US in the early 2010s, and reached my college town around 2015 or so? But my guess is that the locals don't eat there much, just the students. I think it's because people are less adventurous in aggregate than you might think, and the economics don't work out.

See McDonald's international menu, which is in my opinion kind of terrible. There must be something holding them back.
The US opiate crisis has its roots deep in US healthcare culture and the blame lies on both sides of the doctor-patient fence. US docs used to prescribe opiates like candies, but US patients expect to feel no pain at all and are extremely aggressive legally speaking. Those two aspects go hand in hand.

That was partly because it was cheaper to upgrade some old parts than buy a whole new machine. You could squeeze an extra couple of years out of a machine with a CPU or GPU upgrade.

Replacing broken parts was less common. No one really expected to just maintain the machine to the same specs for several years.
> I just draw the line at “tidy your room” as overstepping a crucial boundary that arbitrarily encroaches on our autonomy.

Teenagers don't have full autonomy, that's why they aren't adults. Parents exist to set boundaries and expectations for teenager's future adulthood (or more specifically their viewpoint on what a normal adult is).

Many teenagers enter adulthood and realize their parent's expectations weren't who they wish to be. But generally their parent's version is a good enough starting point to discover who they wish to become as an adult.

If new adults decide they want to live in a mess, at that time they can choose to do so because they hopefully understand the social, functional, and health consequences of that choice. An understanding a teenager may lack.
Thanks for the heads up! Had it not been for your comment this would likely have continued for a long time.

Yeah, wow, I said absolutely none of that.

What I said was I fail to correctly interpret friendly banter that occurs between other people here because it isn't something I first-hand experience.

Being ugly to me and people downvoting me and all this crap for stating that doesn't change it. It's just more evidence that people are all too often not friendly to me as an individual, so I stand by all of my above observations.

1. People here are not actually friendly to me. They are sometimes faux friendly while treating me like nothing but a piece of ass, which I deem to be predatory behavior, the opposite of friendly.

2. That fact makes it hard for me to correctly interpret friendly banter between other people when it does occur.

3. I continue to wonder if posting here is a giant waste of my time given the amount of ridiculous crap I get for no real reason other than posting as openly female.

A couple of years ago I converted a telephone handset into a lineman's handset to troubleshoot the PBX system at work. As a kid I'd always marveled at how two-way voice (and data!) communication and numbers could be transmitted over four wires, and it really blew my mind when I learned that just two are being used per line.

We had pulse-tone rotary phones which were simple enough to understand - just count the pulses. I'm still working on completely grasping the combined tones used in touch-tone dialing, specifically the way they would have been interpreted at the switchboard before the introduction of digital PBX systems.
thanks; I think I will.
I wonder if that’s what happened with the Native Americans who couldn’t see the Europeans’ sail ships the first time they encountered it (assuming that event actually happened as described). If you can’t fathom something your brain simply rejects that reality and substitutes one that is easier to accept.

But I’ve also been reading some stories of people who were seemingly true QAnon believers who after January 20th realized that marshal law wasn’t being declared and that Trump really was leaving and how it seemed to shake them. There was also the woman who called CSPAN if I recall correctly, crying because she felt like Trump betrayed her by distancing himself from the Jan 6th insurrectionists and how she just couldn’t make sense of the world. To think that she is the one who finally saw reality for what it was while others continue to believe that this is all a part of some grand plan... how do you even come out of that?

You are taking these ideas into crazy places!

Fun to think about.

Given this context, I have a few thoughts:

Contemporary processors may be interesting when simplified some. Your projects make me think about the Zachtronics games.

http://www.zachtronics.com/tis-100/

That is an assembly language game with surprising depth. People, who play it seriously will learn quite a lot.

Using older hardware in tandem with current is a lot of fun. The terminal, for example, still does exactly what it was designed to do and is still useful today. A C64 has a user port for this kind of thing. Apple 2 computers saw all manner of expansion cards capable of data capture, control, computation... making ones own card with a PIA was a standard type project, just as connecting a circuit to the user port was. BASIC was often enough for many basic controls, say regulating temperature, or turning things off and on based on time, or other data states, assembly language brought more of the speed possible, and with more speed, we get more posibilities.

Take one bit wired to a speaker. That is what the Apple and IBM PC shipped with to make sound. The PC had a spiffy timer to bang out notes, and the Apple had nothing but a toggle. Speaker on, or off.

Here is where the fun part was back in the day:

At first, it seems useless. Access an address and the speaker pops out. Do it again, and the speaker pops in. One can type this right into the computer with a BASIC POKE statement, or the monitor by address and watch the speaker change states.

A loop gets one some clicks rapidly, or maybe a buzz, depending. But in assembly language a lot more is on the table! Suddenly one realizes it is possible to turn the speaker on or off long before it has reached the other state. There are lots of other realizations, such as what a read modify, write instruction does compared to one that does a single read or write.

There are any number of simple, seemingly shallow examples out there, racing the beam, making sounds, cramming more onto a floppy, and so on.

But what happens when the hardware is simple, driven by software gets right at the heart of assembly language, in my view. Hardware may be designed to do something, and if designed reasonably, will do that thing.

But, where it may be simple, or over engineered, has bugs, whatever, all suggest more, and as time passed we saw people get far more out of a lot of hardware than intended. Demoscene comes to mind here.

Maybe four thoughts! You should definitely take a look at this guy:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jmTwlEh8L7g

Here is the assembly programmer mindset modeled well. People generally approach it wanting to get more out of their hardware, or understand what is really happening better, or to help them with subtle program errors.

Some do it for fun too.

This work suggests the ideas evolved during early computing, hacking on hardware, exploiting bugs, design choices, and more continue to play out on modern processors and systems just fine.

Keys to the kingdom for those willing to play.

The current South Korea administration is very anti-chaebol and wants to split up the conglomerate.

Expect more jobs coming to your country as Samsung and other Korean conglomerates run to America for protection from an anti-business Korean government.

This is only a rumor but Samsung and Hyundai are thinking of merging to fend off the Korean government and moving their factories to America is part of their 4D chess move.

Hyundai especially because the average Hyundai automotive worker is earning well above $100,000 USD / year plus universal healthcare, perks due to an extremely powerful automotive union. Compare that to American automotive industry workers and what they make.

I’m not sure how to express it very well, but I interact a bit with people who I’d consider “good” programmers. I don’t think I’d correlate it with experience or effectiveness at a job, a good many of them haven’t even made it out of school yet. But they tend to be able to internalize programming/mathematics concepts that by many are considered difficult or complex. I know some will disagree with this, arguing that things related to experience like domain knowledge, ability to effectively work and lead in a team, understanding business needs, etc. and I don’t want to diminish the importance of these things in a professional context. However, I think there’s a good bit to programming that’s more purely technical and more related to raw intelligence (IQ or whatever you want). These people are able to easily understand things that I can’t seem to put together in my head very well.

This seems to suggest that you think our meat comes from animals who kinda exist and compete mutually with crops when actually we feed most of our crops to animals.

If there was an ecological disaster that killed crop production, we wouldn't waste it by feeding it to animals for a grossly inefficient luxury item.

It's like when people try to make a "pro-meat" claim by pointing out how much water it takes to grow a pound of almonds, only possible because they never looked up how much water it took to grow a pound of beef.

It's frustrating how Mozilla will use usage statistics as justification to kill a feature, whilst at the same time using nagging UI prompts to promote underperforming corporate decisions like Pocket and FFSync.

Perhaps they should have a rule that any feature proposed for deletion should be promoted equally aggressively for six months. If usage still doesn't increase then remove it.
The near-infinite reach of US finance laws into every area of cryptocurrencies (among other categories) is pretty staggering. The promises that cryptocurrencies want to gift to their users are continually sacrificed in the name of draconian regulatory compliance, regardless of the national borders (or lack-thereof) involved. It's particularly interesting to watch various cryptocurrency platforms slowly transform into that which they originally detested, not of their own will, but via the strong guiding hands of US agencies.

In this case Bitmex was not incorporated in the US, informed US residents that they were not allowed to use the platform, and even blocked all US IP addresses from accessing their services as well. As the article mentions, yes, some people got around this with VPN blocks, lying about their location, and more. Apparently the US views the solution to this loophole as arresting the founders of Bitmex, regardless of their country of residence, for not complying with US laws. As another commenter reminded me to mention, Bitmex also did not touch USD: they didn't allow withdrawals, deposits, nor transactions in USD, ever. The discrepancy between this treatment and that which established US megabanks receive is made perfectly clear by the latter section of this article, in which billions in fines are often paid in exchange for having purposefully committed blatantly illegal activity for profits on a massive scale.

Perhaps there is more to this story that we do not know (I see accusations of a lack of solvency, front-running, and other more serious activities), but if there is no true bombshell awaiting explosion here, I certainly hope his legal defense is sufficient for a solution in his favor.

Yeah I’m not sure. I’ve had a good bit of passion for programming through both my hobbyist and professional career (naturally more through the latter) and these days I find the things I get most excepted about or find most interesting I’m not really able to understand fully. I guess we all have our limits, but I’ve tried a few different things in recent years that I’ve effectively had to give up because things wouldn’t “click” no matter how much I read. Unfortunately it’s kinda killed off a good bit of that passion, and I’m not particularly interested in what options it’s leaves me.
The offsetting factor with destruction is that you rarely want to just destroy something. Destruction for the sake of itself is really kind of rare on a large scale. Usually we do it so we can build something different where the old thing was: a new government, a new building, a new way of thinking, whatever. And at that point it’s often times easier to avoid total destruction and instead just do more precise application of force. A revolution is destruction in a way but there is a reason why revolutionists always try to take over existing government structures (physical and ideological): it is cheaper to declare yourself president or king or whatever than to create a nation from scratch.

If we look at it that way, you can’t keep lying forever, right? At some point you either become North Korea or the USSR and try to hide behind the iron curtain, which is nearly impossible in today’s interconnected world, or you have to base your ideology on some version of the truth. Peddlers of misinformation can’t win in the long term.the question is how much damage can they do in the meantime?
