This looks AI Slop. At first the style of the site and the cover of the book were a bit suspicious, but then digging a bit further: - Domain was registered in February this year: https://www.whois.com/whois/vivianvoss.net - Web archive has only a couple snapshots before this year, and it seemed to belong to an "Elite Escort": https://web.archive.org/web/20160515000000*/https://vivianvo... - All his other domains are…

Thanks for pointing out. So close to buying it. Would appreciate more disclosure regarding the use of hostile technology.

LinkedIn profile picture is oddly smooth and has the OpenAI signature yellow hue, although it could just be an odd touch-up. https://www.linkedin.com/in/vvoss/

This person appeared out of nowhere 6 months ago and started posting on linkedin. With 6k followers and so much experience I would expect a couple of recommendations. Also gitlab and Github account appeared around the same time... Maybe it's just my paranoia in the AI slop age.

I have had various servers over time running FreeBSD, both physically in my home, rented bare metal servers and rented VPSes. So I’m not exactly a newcomer to FreeBSD, but I am wondering if this book might be relevant to me anyways. My main issue with my servers that I would like to solve better, is how to organize the file system layout and ZFS “datasets” in a better way. I generally don’t use separate disks for sys…

forums.freebsd.org may be a good place to discuss these sort of questions.

The style of the blog post, with short, abrupt sentences does not captivate me. I’d like to think someone writing a book has a more interesting writing style. Or maybe LLMs have damaged me and I’m too critical of writing style now, whatever it is this doesn’t sell the book to me.

The author is quite prolific. Basically a blog post per day for the last couple of months!

To me, that actually screams LLM. At the very least much LLM assisted.

Why would you listen to some fool’s baseless speculation?

Things do seem a little off. If you check both the website and the LinkedIn you'll notice a strange motif of AI-generated women with cat ear headphones.
