>all I could find was BSD fans making completely false claims about Linux
and
>I'm asking why BSD has users other than the licensing given that linux exists
Sounds pretty flamy to me. But I also don't want to give a bad impression of the community if you are here to legitimately learn more about the wider operating system landscape.
The reason for my frustration is this sub is almost half composed of Linux fans swooping by to drop FUD bombs, and it sucks. Granted, this sub is also little-used by the BSD communities, as there are other long-standing methods of interacting within the community (mailing lists, forums, etc).
I'm also touchy about trolling because I WANT the BSD and Linux communities to get along. The late 80's and early 90's saw the infamous UNIX Wars, where while the various UNIX vendors squabbled about who was better, Microsoft swept the entire market.
I would recommend you check out The Daemon, the GNU, and the Penguin, which covers a lot of the history.
FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD all come from BSD, which started as a fork of UNIX at the University of California Berkeley in 1977. FreeBSD and NetBSD were founded in 1993 as community forks of BSD for the PC platform, around the same time as Red Hat and Slackware. At that point, the BSD system was about 16 years old.
BSD provided the original TCP/IP implementation, and the modern systems continue the tradition of providing high performance, stable, feature-rich TCP/IP.
FreeBSD originated the containerization concept with Jails, which were perfected shortly afterwards by Solaris with Zones. Most of those improvements have since been brought back into Jails. Linux containers showed up much later, and don't quite tackle the same problems as Jails and Zones.
FreeBSD got ZFS from Solaris and has tightly integrated the software. FreeBSD is heavily involved in the OpenZFS project. Linux can have ZFS as soon as they feel like it, but for the time being they are stuck in a far-downstream situation. Btrfs is no substitute.
On that note, storage management is probably the area where I find FreeBSD in particular to be excellent. GEOM is amazing. No Linux software can even compare.
On the virtualization front, FreeBSD has bhyve, OpenBSD has vmm. These are both new, and under rapid development. They will not reach the stability and usability of KVM for a bit of time, but I have found them to be quite good.
The FreeBSD Ports tree (OpenBSD also has a similar infrastructure, and NetBSD has pkgsrc) was perhaps the earliest implementation of software management, with automated fetching and dependency resolution. Today, it provides both a means to custom compile software easily, fetch source code, build package sets, and tweak dependencies and compile-time options. And the pkg utility is a fantastic binary package manager with some awesome capabilities.
90% of the software ecosystem available for Linux is also available for the BSDs, and the remainder is only the result of the developers being too ignorant or lazy to implement portable software. BSD is not the only system in that boat, Solaris/Illumos is also suffering in that way. That changes when the development community decides to recognize that Linux is not the only viable system available.
The availability of source code is also a huge plus. Linux does provide source, of course, but with FreeBSD I can have the entire system source code at my fingertips in a single command.
The project structure also lets me choose what kind of upgrade path I want, and whether I want bleeding edge or stable. I can run the generic RELEASE system with binary updates for security, I can compile RELEASE from source with customizations, I can run the STABLE branch for my release version, or I can run the minute-by-minute bleeding edge CURRENT version. The choice is mine.
This is just a short list. I have never found FreeBSD lacking, and I run it on almost all of my systems (servers, desktop, etc). I run OpenBSD on my laptop, and am loving it.
Looking online I found the following:
And I remember now that I didn't upgrade their OS I only installed some security updates. Those security updates must have included some patches for that ancient version of ssh and either they compiled the modified version with support for only those host keys listed, or they replaced the
ssh_config
file with one that only had those in it. So that explains why. Not that it matters to anyone else but I still like to provide a proper conclusion to things.While I'm at it I can also say, even though it is of interest to no-one, that I was actually going to upgrade their macOS version to the latest one but that before doing so I was going to install an SSD in place of the HDD they have since I was going to do that as well so I decided there was no point in upgrading macOS before that. Unfortunately however I could not find the mounting brackets that was needed to fit an SSD in their Mac Pro tower. And I still haven't. I asked at multiple places and none of them, not even the Mac store, had such brackets.
So I guess I'm going to have to get an adapter like the one shown in this video instead maybe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvGlYIjbB9c, because while I might be able to find the brackets online I am not convinced that they will be for the right model (and I didn't make note of the cabinet version, rookie mistake) and don't want to order one that doesn't fit online.Edit: Actually https://www.amazon.co.uk/OWC-2-5-Inch-Drive-Mount-Apple/dp/B009P4NEKA/ looks fine.
Edit 2: And of course none of the sellers deliver to my country... but there is hope that I might find one that does for something similar to that I guess.

Sorry, But Cultural Marxism is Not an Invention of Right Wing Paranoids.
Cultural Marxism is not an invention of the paranoid right. It's a school of thought developed by left-wing Marxists and named by them as such because it describes the application of their own theory to culture rather than economics. Whether you agree with the movement or disagree with the movement, saying that it's not a movement, or that William Lind created a fictitious movement in 1998, is absurd. You are either misinformed or lying.
Below is a list of sources drawn exclusively from professors and scholars practicing cultural Marxism in which they use the term to describe the Frankfurt- and Birmingham-descended schools of thought.
Note that the left-wing and progressive Professor Grossberg is a world-renowned professor who is the Chair of Cultural Studies at UNC, near my house. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Grossberg
Note that Dennis Dworkin is a progressive professor at the University of Nevada, where his most recent book, "Class Struggles", extends the themes of "Cultural Marxism in Postwar Britain".
The essay "Cultural Marxism and Cultural Studies," by UCLA Professor Douglas Kellner, says " 20th century Marxian theorists ranging from Georg Lukacs, Antonio Gramsci, Ernst Bloch, Walter Benjamin, and T.W. Adorno to Fredric Jameson and Terry Eagleton employed the Marxian theory to analyze cultural forms in relation to their production, their imbrications with society and history, and their impact and influences on audiences and social life... There are, however, many traditions and models of cultural studies, ranging from neo-Marxist models developed by Lukàcs, Gramsci, Bloch, and the Frankfurt school in the 1930s to feminist and psychoanalytic cultural studies to semiotic and post-structuralist perspectives (see Durham and Kellner 2001)." The essay is available here: http://pages.gseis.ucla.edu/faculty/kellner/essays/culturalmarxism.pdf
Note that Professor Kellner is a progressive professor, an expert in Herbert Marcuse, and critic of the culture of masculinity for school shootings.
I hope that this brief survey amply demonstrates that Cultural Marxism is a term created and actively used by progressive scholars to describe the school of thought that first developed at Frankfurt and Birmingham to apply Marxism to cultural studies.
Also check out their IRC channels, forums, and mailing lists.
I can't recommend that book enough. It will give you a great overview over the services the kernel provides, design decisions and data structures.
In addition to that, these resources might also be of interest to you:
FYI, if you get a bit creative you can stuff one or two SSDs into a 1U case with four drive bays. Does your case have a skinny DVD drive bay you don't need? Great place to stick a couple of drives. Just secure them with Velcro tape or something. Nobody is going to see it.
Could also use one of these if your case has a PCIe slot you're not using: https://smile.amazon.com/Syba-Slot-Tray-Less-Mobile/dp/B0080V73RE/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1510961585
Strongly recommend putting your OS and data storage on separate physical drives. With a lot of data, scrubbing could take hours or even days, and while it's happening your system can slow to a crawl. If you are using the server for email, you should really put that on a physical drive that's not part of the main data storage as well. Otherwise email clients will drag pretty badly while the scrub of your massive data storage pool is happening.
Oh, I bought awk & sed and it was a good starter. Obviously the man page is a great resource.
Mess around in with minix for a bit. The Minix book (http://www.amazon.com/Operating-Systems-Design-Implementation-3rd/dp/0131429388) is wonderful. I only made it about half way through but it was one of the few "textbooks" I was able to actually sit and read. You may also want to drop back to Minix 2 as 3 is leaning more towards usability than education.
There is also linux .01 (try http://www.oldlinux.org/Linux.old/).
The main idea here is to stick to "early" code as it is clean, basic and without frills. Get the basics down then expand.
you can check out the table of contents on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Design-Implementation-FreeBSD-Operating-Edition/dp/0321968972/ref=dp_ob_title_bk
or the books website http://ptgmedia.pearsoncmg.com/images/9780321968975/samplepages/9780321968975.pdf
but the answer to all your questions is basically yes, this is the book that fits your criteria.
Edimax EW-7811. ~7000 Amazon reviews, so you at least know it's reliable hardware-wise.
The manpage for urtwn(4) explicitly lists support for it. I've used mine in a Raspberry Pi under both FreeBSD and Linux with zero issues.
I can't recommend this book enough. I started off much like you had, and learned everything I know from this book that is incredible. https://www.amazon.com/Absolute-FreeBSD-3rd-Complete-Guide/dp/1593278926
Self-directed teaching has its limitations. For example, misreading or misunderstanding the system documentation. Debugging would have been less useful here because the program blows up after you make a system call -- a typical indication of programmer error. One tool you can use in such a situation is more documentation, especially one with additional examples and discussion. Take a look at Advanced Programming UNIX Environment, 3rd edition to get more information on system programming. It helps you build up a foundation and serves as a solid reference.
If, after reading the handbook, you find you still want a deeper dive check out The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System
You can find the latest version in here: https://www.amazon.com/FreeBSD-Handbook-Versions-11-1-10-4/dp/1680921622/ref=mp_s_a_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1540142948&sr=8-17&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=freebsd&dpPl=1&dpID=417D7PXKfaL&ref=plSrch
