Been a long-time lurker of your blog. Some of the best FreeBSD content out there, imo, thank you for putting it out there.

Despite never being able to fully commit to a BSD over Linux/MacOS (due to hardware compatibility, lack of Linux containerization support, and now being fully invested in Nix) I appreciate the core values of the FreeBSD project.

At one point, I got Docker up and running on FreeBSD with Lima[0]. At this point, I’d be really curious how well Nix does on [Free,Open]BSD — I think I’d switch if I knew Nix was rock solid.

Regardless, thanks for your blog — it’s invaluable to anyone getting into FreeBSD. :)
