Getting the masses on-side: openSUSE's community manager speaks


There are community managers for Linux distributions who spend their whole time spinning this or that and trying to influence opinion without dealing with the reality.
There are others in similar roles who spend all their time contradicting people on mailing lists and discussion forums and flinging mud at anybody who says the smallest thing negative about their distribution.
And then there is Jos Poortvliet, the community manager for openSUSE.
Poortvliet is refreshingly different, someone who brings intelligence and good sense to the role, someone who knows how to communicate in an effective way.

Meltdown/PTI Mitigation Impact On BSDs vs. Linux
Besides the fresh BSD/Linux disk performance tests, some other tests I ran on various BSDs and Linux distributions this week was looking at the performance impact of Intel Meltdown CPU vulnerability mitigation on each of them, namely the performance impact of using kernel page-table isolation.
On DragonFlyBSD 5.2, TrueOS 18.03, Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, and Clear Linux I ran tests when the mitigation was enabled and then again when it was off for seeing the performance impact.
