Snac2 is an excellent software solution for accessing the Fediverse. It is lightweight, very easy to compile and install, has minimal dependencies, and the development is progressing along a clear, clean, and logical path - thank you, @grunfink@comam.es

Since last December, BSD Cafe has had, among its services, a snac instance - https://snac.bsd.cafe - which has been used sparingly, mainly by some for testing purposes. I’ve kept it as a 'testing' option.

In light of the interest it is generating (we now have stable users) and given that development is evolving to allow for both inbound and outbound movement, I have decided to designate it as a stable solution for accessing the Fediverse and to consider it a primary service of the BSD Cafe.

It has always received the utmost attention, I have consistently updated it promptly, and it has always been accessible, but I have also modified all the descriptions to clarify that it is a stable and definitive solution.

For more information, there is always a dedicated page on our wiki: https://wiki.bsd.cafe/snac.bsd.cafe

Stay Tuned!

Friends of #BSDCafe and the entire #Fediverse, good morning and happy Sunday!

I've made some changes to our setup. Last week, there were some slowdowns in the services at BSD Cafe, especially in the #Mastodon instance. After investigating, I discovered that the issue was with the DNS resolution (it was the DNS! 😆 ).

I’ve now installed two jails with unbound on the two BSD Cafe VPSs. This allows us to perform all DNS resolutions locally with caching, so we don’t have to rely on external services.

This way, services like Mastodon or Matrix, which make extensive use of name resolution, can benefit from local caching and resolve domains autonomously.

This has been (and still is) a very special week. The past 7 days have been emotionally (and, to a lesser extent, work-wise) very challenging. And even when I'm tired, I realize that, in my opinion, I have the best job in the world. Because working with open-source tools provides everyone with the same opportunities, in the most open and free manner possible. Few fields offer the same conditions, and I feel like I belong to a great group, a group of passionate and constructive people, without any distinctions of any kind.

@stefano@bsd.cafe I think turning your hobby into a well paid job is the best thing you can do! And we know how we open-source guys love doing our job with so much precision!

Proxmox vs FreeBSD: Which Virtualization Host Performs Better?

Since migrating many servers from Proxmox to FreeBSD, we have consistently felt that the VMs are more responsive. It's time to conduct some concrete tests.

This is excelent, thanks for sharing it. One other test that might be interesting would be to overprovision a bunch of VMs and see how it handles scheduling when resources are scarce. Of course it's easy for me to think tasks up when it's not my time.

With the latest commit, @grunfink@comam.es has resolved the problem that was causing the #snac2 performance issue. The threads had stopped working, but now they are performing as expected.

Snac2 is improving every day, and I believe it is evolving into one of the best low-footprint solutions to be a part of the #Fediverse
