Also how would Snac perform in a vmm virtual machine using only 1 CPU compared to being in a multi core CPU jail on FreeBSD ??

I've got this idea to spin up OpenBSD on an i5-10505 based PC with 32Gb ram and I want to run the following services which are currently hosted on my FreeBSD server here using Bastille jails for each service.

I have a reverse proxy, nginx for web, git and cgit in another, Syncthing, Radicale. So 5 jails in total. The questions I have are wouold you try run all of those on base OpenBSD or use vmm for each like I do with bastille ?
Also how would #Snac perform in a vmm virtual machine using only 1 CPU compared to being in a multi core CPU jail on FreeBSD ??

The FreeBSD server has a i7-4790 (8) @ 3.60 GHz with 16Gb ram
The OpenBSD machine has a i5-10505 (6) @ 3.2 - 4.6 GHz with 32Gb ram.

Don't ask me why I'm considering this please. #RunBSD

Dear Fedinauts, for various reasons, I am moving (again).
This server and therefore this profile will soon be shut down.
If you would like to continue following me, you can do so here:
@oliver@microhive.me or https://microhive.me/oliver
If you don't want to follow me, I'll probably just follow you 🙂
Thank you very much!

Anyway, #snac doesn't have any of those types of timeline masking things, so it's much nicer in that respect 🙂

@passthejoe

There's always #GoToSocial and #snac ;)

@passthejoe

Another super minimalistic one to check out if #snac doesn't work out for you is the wonderfully-named #honk ;)

It's from the (in)famous #OpenBSD dev, #tedu. ;)

@jmalonzo thats why I am using #Gotosocial and #Snac, it is lightweight both on money and resources. :D

@jmalonzo

#Snac search function is good, Gotosocial one is #meh it's working if you have a lot of time to wait

You make it possible. Thank you so much.

@vab @Bonn there are many followers from Bonn but #snac (the great software powering FediMeteo) won't disclose anything about them - not even the real number 😉

Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,

As 2024 comes to an end, it’s time to reflect on what we’ve built together during the first full year of life for BSD Cafe. Launched on 20 July 2023, this project has grown far beyond what I could have imagined. While I haven’t tracked full uptime data, I can confidently say that the downtime was less than 30 minutes overall - even though the main VM hosting our services moved multiple times (including a switch from a Proxmox hypervisor to bhyve on FreeBSD, for the sake of alignment with our mission). In a world filled with over-engineered HA systems, we’ve outperformed many “big-name” cloud providers. Not bad for a community project, right?

For me, this has been an incredible journey. The users here are not just participants - they’re collaborators, and their positivity has been inspiring. The content shared and created at BSD Cafe has been valuable not only to the BSD community but beyond. What truly sets BSD Cafe apart is the openness for dialogue and exchange. Whether it’s social media posts, Matrix discussions, repositories in our brew, or RSS feeds, people seem to genuinely appreciate what we create and the conversations we foster.

BSD Cafe is a journey - one that grows, evolves, and continues. Our goal isn’t endless growth (we’re a community, not a business) but rather to maintain a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone feels a sense of positivity and belonging. For me, opening any service with “bsd.cafe” in the domain brings joy and pride. That’s the spirit I’ve tried to convey, and I hope it resonates with all of you, whether you’re active BSD Cafe users or friends of the community.

Promoting self-hosting and #OwnYourData has, as a side effect, inspired some users to “go solo” with their own setups. But even then, they remain part of BSD Cafe - in spirit, in purpose, and in connection.

Here’s a look at what we’ve achieved together this year:

- mastodon.bsd.cafe: 370 total users
Active in the past month: 207
Active in the past six months: 286
- snac.bsd.cafe: 14 total users
Active in the past month: 7
- blendit.bsd.cafe: 61 registered users
- matrix.bsd.cafe: 23 users
- brew.bsd.cafe: 29 users - 80 repositories
- freshrss.bsd.cafe: 25 users
- miniflux.bsd.cafe: 11 users
- press.bsd.cafe: 9 users
- myip.bsd.cafe: Constantly used by various users
- wiki.bsd.cafe: Could use a bit more love and content, but it fulfills its role as a functional homepage.
- tube.bsd.cafe: Still in testing - Peertube 7.0 update is on the way.

For detailed stats from our reverse proxy and general router (excluding media services, which generate most traffic but are handled via caching reverse proxies), you can check here - updated hourly: https://netstats.bsd.cafe

The journey of BSD Cafe continues, and I look forward to seeing where 2025 will take us. Together, we’ve built something special - something driven by passion, shared purpose, and a little bit of the BSD magic that makes all of this possible.

Here’s to a new year full of joy, serenity, and connection. Thank you for being part of this adventure.

Wishing you all a fantastic 2025 - and THANK YOU!
Stefano

The illumos Cafe snac instance has been updated to 2.83

#illumosCafe #illumosCafeUpdates #illumosCafeServices #snac

#snac2 #fediverse #frugalfediverse

After receiving a follow confirmation, a bunch of posts from that account are requested and inserted into the timeline as context.

Continuously failing instances are marked as broken after a given number of days (see snac(8) on how to tune this counter). Incoming activity from any of these instances resets the counter.

Fixed a nasty bug that incorrectly deleted private local posts in certain cases.

Scheduled posts can now be sent from the command line (see snac(1) for more information on how to do it).

Docker: add timezone, new examples for building and complete Swarm mode stack with Traefik (contributed by daltux).

Fixed timezone names (contributed by dharmik).

Documented the update command (contributed by xvello).
