No graphics hardware detected I guess…

Did somebody by a chance compared chrony to ntpd?

In the internet I can only find two comparisions — one on official chrony site stating that it overpowers ntpd and the other one is: https://engineering.fb.com/production-engineering/ntp-service/

The graphs are pretty impressive though I'm not convinced.

does anyone know if sway works on freebsd?

apparnetly its got tests to build https://github.com/swaywm/sway/blob/master/.builds/freebsd.yml

But I have heard that FreeBSD runs great on ThinkPads so I would like to test it.

FreeBSD looks great on lots of things. What usage to you have? Everyday? programming? Video editing? Image manipulation? What?

hi

i have question

i have question

https://dontasktoask.com/

just ask it

I feel bsd packages are too outdated

Even Older than debian

Lol

Which ones?

You can always build them from source with ports

Which ones?

The gnome one

Uses 3.28

The gnome one

Gnome uses a lot of linux-only tech and is a pain to port to other systems. Test if you like xfce or kde

Switch to latest https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/pkgng-intro.html

Doesn't gnom even rely on systemd?

I have used gnome on openrc (gentoo) 3.34

Doesn't gnom even rely on systemd?

IIRC It depends on systemd-logind and can be replaced with older consolekit.

wow 187 members on feebsd group...

sad

anybody here?

Ive not looked at FreeBSD for a VERY long timem and then i was just looking at stuf

recently i've been doing more and more low level NIC stuff

have hit the point where linux kernal cant reallly handle the packet rates that should be and are possible

have hit the point where linux kernal cant reallly handle the packet rates that should be and are possible

Isn't hardware helping with that? Tx rx checksums and other acceleration?

yes but it can do only so much

if you want line speed

then no fiddling with sysctl will get you even close

its not linux's fault

14 million packets per second

its many lots

and its not possible as it stands to achieve anything like this without going native

firing the kernel, and using DPDK/PF_RING/Others and the hardware offload provided by NICs that might have to do this stuff (10gbe+)

anyway i digreess

surprisingly im not always interested in spraying the internet with a big enough pipe to literally take down biggish networks because of a typo

anyway i think tis time i tried freebsd

kernel bypass etc aide

i write a lot of stuff that involves making 1-2 small requests to very large numbers of servers

anybody here code?

Why is working with packets in userspace faster?

context switches

dont get me wrong u can achieve 10gbps easily on a linux machine

but 10gbps @ 64 byte packet

all bound for different hosts

now i know there are facilities to do this SORT of thing

and have been for a long time

snabbswitch

netmap

dpdk

http://netoptimizer.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-calculations-10gbits-wirespeed.html

this is a good description

With 14.88 Mpps the time budget for processing a single packet is: 67.2 ns (nanosecond) (calc as: 1/14880952*10^9 ns)

Jay, [26.07.20 12:56] Why is working with packets in userspace faster?

i am by no means an expert here

and i know if you know what ur doing it's posible to, for example

sne a pretty decent rate / cpu

send a decent rate/cpu

and you could do exactly what u would if u were bypassing kernel, you would still have to effectively tell it to leave you alone and stop sending RSTs

and then with your PHC in NIC internals, maybe just about get it recieving these

responses

PHD*

with a year or two writing patches you might even get it performing in the same ballpark as PF_RING/DPDK

or XDP or fuck know there are always 6 things in kernel dev that are going to just these issues once and for all

anyway )

i would like to give BSD a go

but dealing with Quasi networks is like some form bizarre form of masochism and so if it would be representitive, could i install FreeBSD in a VM

and using

[magicaly NIC virt-t waffler thing]

yep SR-IOV

i shud be able to pass the VM direct access to the NIC

but i can see this being one of those things ill mbe trying to get working 3 days late
