Nice website design. I don't like to use the same stuff I use for work at home because home is supposed to be fun.

So I used to have everything FreeBSD but I've stopped using around 2020 when I've started buying computers that have different core configurations like ARM RockChip and Intel Alder Lake. I believe the term is called big.LITTLE when you have efficient and performance cores.

As of now the FreeBSD scheduler is not making full use of big.LITTLE. TBF It works and your mileage might vary and you might also pin stuff to cores but not ideal.

Meanwhile I went back to Linux and fell into the Nix rabbit hole.

I might go back once they get ULE to be able to use my Alder Lake efficiently.
