#freebsd

Thank you, @dch@bsd.network

One of the peculiarities of littleFedi is that it was developed and tested first on the BSDs, then on illumos, and only later on Linux.

The first public instance, my own @stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it account, runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W with NetBSD.

I don’t think many social platforms have started out on NetBSD in recent years.

I want to publicly thank @dch@bsd.network
The FreeBSD port of littleFedi was already ready at release time, and it’s really well done.

Next Saturday at #EuroBSDCon 2026, I'll tell the story of one of the longest nights of my career.

On 10 March 2021, I had just fallen asleep when the alerts started arriving. One server down. Then another. And another.
Different servers, different workloads, one thing in common: the OVHcloud Strasbourg data centre.

Then came the news: SBG2 was on fire.

I had 142 servers there.

The mission for the night was simple to state: bring the critical services back before 8, then recover everything else as quickly as possible.

This talk is about what happened next. The things that worked, the architectural choices that saved us, and especially the ones that failed when we needed them most.

And it's also the story of why that night changed the way I design infrastructure, and why BSD systems became such an important part of it.

The night 142 of my servers went up in the clouds. Physically.

I'd like my next job to have something more than Linux, yes, I'm looking at your FreeBSD.

Permettetemi di presentarvi questa istanza, in esecuzione su un #lenovo #thinkcentre #m920x chiamato Mignolo.

Acquistato "refurbished", dispone di una CPU Intel i7-8700@3.2 Ghz, 16GB RAM, 2 dischi nvme da 2TB + 1 disco SSD da 256GB. In esecuzione sopra #freebsd 15, più lo stack necessario per supportare #openbook.

Per ora è un piccolo esperimento, soprattutto per recuperare il senso di ricerca e di spontaneità delle #bbs tanti anni fa, e dei datacenter "On Premise" più recentemente, prima che tutto diventasse "etereo", prima che tutto diventasse "cloud".
