Depends on the needs… the cheapest VPS with v4 could already do it. WireGuard tunnel and you’re ready to go…

@paco @namedbird @mikael

Couldn’t say better 👍

@paul @stefano @grunfink @ltning

So, I basically use one of the listed addresses on any forums, Fediverse instance, etc that sends me immediately an account confirmation mail and the whole service gets blocked? I simply use one of them for account creation on the BSD Cafe or the BSD Forums and they get blocked, because a random user submitted a honey pot email?!

@pitrh @solene

@pitrh @solene somehow I understand his idea but in todays usage such solution can easily turn into the wrong way and make everyone’s life difficult. This would mean, we should move away from email confirmations because everyone would be able to use any fake email including honeypot addresses.

thank you =)

@d4gli @stefano @grunfink

Thanks for providing this service and also this information. At this point, we can only say - thank you very much for your time, efforts and money you put into this service @stefano. At this point I also want to bring up the great work of @grunfink for his incredible work in the #snac / #snac2 project. Snac became the perfect solution for single user instances but also project related instances in the fediverse. Kudos, to both of you and thank you both very much! You both are doing a great job!

RISC-V can already be used in an every day scenario - but it highly depends and needs some special love.

If you're interested, I used VF2 boards in production.

Awesome, like always! Thank you very much for your efforts and time!

@grunfink

#snac is really awesome and @grunfink did an amazing job by creating this. It even runs smoothly on my RISC-V dev board which is really pretty slow.

I just launched the new @BoxyBSD self-service portal where you can finally manage your BSD based box instances on your own - and I really love this minimalistic and terminal alike design.

The installer currently supports #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD and also #Illumos (#OpenSolaris).

Have fun and #RUNBSD!

@vel leightweight Like MS Teams? Did I miss something? 🫣

Woooow! At @BoxyBSD we provisioned our 500th free VPS instance this weekend. Providing you guys free VPS instances with your favorite BSD based system of choice - #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD and also other ones or even #Illumos for our #Solars friends and somehow I'm a little bit proud!

Happy to see that this project provides a huge value to the #opensource community, users, projects and especially for #BSD projects. #RUNBSD with #BoxyBSD!

"free to use" - just like all other social media platforms, too - at last from a casual user perspective. But what is the difference? Influencer don't get paid here in the Fediverse (except of maybe some very rare ones for passive product placement). As a result, the "mainstream" influencers are missing - including their follower base. If this is a pro or con probably depends on the point of view.

@GossiTheDog

You're a #Unix / #Linux fan and looking for a simple and minimalistic #blog engine?

#manpageblog might be your solution and comes in a simple and familiar manpage design without big dependencies as a static blog generator.

You can find more about manpageblog right here: https://github.com/gyptazy/manpageblog

Test run successfully completed!

I moved from a classic multi-component mail server setup (based on #postfix, #dovecot,…) to #Stalwart mailserver - entirely written in Rust and it runs and performs great so far after half an year :)

I currently regret most switching from #snac2 to #Mastodon — fortunately, Snac now supports account migrations, so I’ll be able to switch back soon but it requires migrating me to migrate to another domain, where I then can switch back to this one on snac.

@al1r4d you might want to have a look at #snac2 which is a very minimalistic but awesome Fediverse server, written in C. Guess, you can see several hints

Running #Docker #Containers in #FreeBSD? Here we run #Debian #Linux from the Dockerhub directly in FreeBSD with #Podman and it works quite well!

In my case with #ARM64 images because my workstation is not #ADM64 :)
