TL;DR: I don't daily drive (Free)BSD because it doesn't work with some hardware and software that I use.

I'm not an expert in the BSD's. But I've tried to daily drive FreeBSD a couple of times and can speak to it for myself from that viewpoint. Most recent attempt was about a year ago.

The issues I had:

Poor WiFi support. I understand that wireless driver support is iffy and even if it does work, it has poor speeds. I tried this on my laptop and could not get WiFi to work. There was a workaround in passing wireless card through to an alpine Linux guest VM and connecting there then creating a bridge. I did get this to work, but I found it impractical.

Games (via Wine/Proton) aren't really an option. I understand you can install steam via a Linux compatibility layer and it's somewhat functional with workarounds. I did not try this.

Those were dealbreakers for me. But the desktop experience itself was good. I ran KDE, and it felt the same to me. if I was running it on a wired machine that wasn't used for gaming, I think I'd be happy to use it.

Peak Windows era achieved. Job done!

Seriously though, that is cool. Keep up the good work ReactOS devs.

OpenBSD on an old office PC I picked up from University surplus.

You don't need an NVR. The camera supports a microSD card to store footage. It also supports FTP upload.

HomeAssistant isn't required. It is supported and I do have it configured.

I have next to no recollection of how UniFi works so I can't speak to that. Mine is connected to a 2.4GHz WiFi network. IIRC that's all it supports. Might be different with newer models.

It also supports HTTP(S)/RTMP/RTSP/ONVIF streaming. Though I tend to just use the app (and I'm particular about installing apps) as I find it quite usable.

I bought a Ubiquity router once because a friend was raving about it. It crapped out on me after maybe 6 months? Will never buy their hardware again.

I'm using a Reolink doorbell camera and am happy with it so far. Had it for about two years.

That's black licorice for me. The stuff with licorice and anise in it. Everyone else hates it, I love the stuff.

Neither of those companies produced consoles when I was 8. But of the those, I only ever owned PlayStations (PS2, PS4). So, Me_irl too I guess?

Edit: Forgot I had a PS Vita too.

My last PC I ran for, I'd guess, 7 years. Built a new one about a year ago.

I could see upgrading the GPU in a few years. But otherwise I'll probably run it until it breaks. Hardware has a pretty long useful life these days. Assuming you don't run an OS that pushes planned obsolescence.

I can't explain why, as I haven't played the game in ages and I can't name anything in the image that would explicitly associate it more than any other media I've consumed, but I immediately got Final Fantasy V Library of the Ancients vibes from this.

I'm accustomed to the imperial system. But agree that metric is better.

Some metric stuff I have no trouble with. I have a good spatial sense of the distance of a mm, m, and km. And can do a rough miles to km (and vice versa) conversion in my head. I have a good sense of how much a kg is and similarly can do a rough conversion to and from lbs in my head. But while I understand that a gram is 1/1000 of a kg, if handed a small object and asked to guess how many grams it is, I'd fail miserably.

Celsius I can't ever remember the conversion, but I've had enough exposure to it that I understand if it means cold/cool/warm/hot weather.
