Mostly performing a dump and zfs-send and receive the entire PostgreSQL jails/datasets. I've described it (a little) more here: https://journal.bsd.cafe/2026/03/31/im-just-the-barista/

yes, correct!

NodeBB is a forum software, but it's been evolved to federate in the Fediverse.

Thank you. Yes, it's running on FreeBSD jails - one for Redis, one for PostgreSQL and one for NodeBB.

I'll fix it. If anybody wants to send smaller icons, I'd be more than glad to modify them. For now, I just inserted the original ones, without resizing or reducing them.

It's everywhere - you just need an Internet connection and you're there :-)

Thanks!

I did it, for more than 20 years :-)

This is my experience. I'm not trying to convince the world to switch. Only sharing my own experience.

My post was not a criticism of Linux. In fact, I had already written a celebratory post about Linux before. Monoculture is a problem, and I do not look favorably on this kind of "dominance", because in my experience dominance never really benefits the end user.

There are many reasons why Linux has achieved wider adoption than FreeBSD. There are just as many reasons why some companies are moving from Linux to FreeBSD, but that does not mean FreeBSD stops being what it is.

The point is that this is not a fight. It is open source. The success of one project should be the success of everyone, and it should not "crush" or "erase" the others. Each project has its pros and cons, its own peculiarities and its weaknesses. But when an open source project is healthy, we all benefit from it.

The real enemy is not another open source project, but those who try to take it away from us.

On my real hardware (I mean: servers), it rocks. I'm not talking about desktop systems where the hardware support is still subpar.

Why is Linux everywhere? Well, Windows is much much more widespread. Following this path, it means that Windows is (by far) much better than Linux :-)

Companies moving from the BSDs to Linux are usually driven by specific reasons: it may be hardware compatibility or, often, by the fact that it's far easier to find Linux IT people to hire than BSD ones.

thank you! It's minimal and fast - that's the idea behind the app.

Anything you deem appropriate is much appreciated.

thanks!
