    Remote editing can be done without special servers, just ssh. This is good work and quicker but mostly I don't need that performance and just being able to use ssh is nicer.

      my opencode on my macbook uses ssh to a bunch of freebsd jails for the work it has to do on freebsd. works perfectly.

    Is there some more work needed for the remote server to just compile for FreeBSD? It seems for the editor itself only audio calls (wtf?) don’t work on FreeBSD

    Edit: FWIW, it doesn't really build on freebsd

      Zed was originally focused on human-to-human collaboration before the AI pivot.

        I think I knew that, but I thought it was just multiplayer editor features. Didn't realize there is audio calls and screen sharing in Zed itself. Kinda assumed people would use something else for that. But I get it from a business point of view. Just had to do a double take and it was an odd sentence to write. Like saying someone telling you they get AWS discounts at their local barber shop and it some how makes sense because the barber's wife is an AWS account manager who WFH and has her office in the barber shop.

      Cries in dos-based borland C. And I'm not even a greybeard (mostly because I don't have a beard, I definitely have grey hair...)

    > Please support FreeBSD, oh and btw I immediately ran headfirst into a kernel bug related to listing directories that I had to fix

    This wouldn’t fill me with confidence if I was Zed.
