Once a network operator at AS20621, I discovered my passion for #FreeBSD and #illumos. Today, I focus on #DevOps and development in Python and Rust, contributing to #Ansible, #Proxmox, #PegaProx, #Debian and #GardenLinux. My current journey explores the future of computing with #RISCV, testing it both in evaluation and production. Projects: #BoxyBSD.com: A free VM hosting service to provide some value back to the community. #ProxLB: (Re)Balance your CTs/VMs across your nodes in your Proxmox cluster. ProxLB is a dynamic resource scheduler for Proxmox which rebalances objects to other nodes in cluster based on CPU, memory or disk resources. #manpageblog: A static blog generator in manpage design, written in Python.

As I lost sponsoring (due to a whole location shutdown) for my @BoxyBSD@mastodon.bsd.cafe & @BoxedTux@mastodon.social in North America, I’m looking for sponsors in US and Canada.
The requirements are pretty low:
NO IPv4min. IPv6 /48 subnet routedNetwork (ARIN/RIPE/…) should be personalized (netname, abuse,..)Optionally: BYOIPARPA delegation for the net to my nameserversmin. 2x 500G disk space (SATA SSD or better)min. 48G memory per nodebandwidth doesn’t really matter (100Mbit is fine)Remote MGMT to systemsSponsors are being listed on #BoxyBSD and #BoxedTux on the sponsoring page and announced on LinkedIn, Fediverse and X as new sponsors.

Happy to share that #BoxyBSD remains up!
Recently I got asked about my @BoxyBSD@mastodon.bsd.cafe project, which offers free VPS instances of vary #BSD based systems for learning and educational purposes and I'm happy to share that this projects remains available. Several things could finally be clarified to continue this service to make sure people can learn and practice on real #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD systems to #RUNBSD. Also, BoxyBSD starts moving over to #Sylve on #bhyve.
But not only that! We could also get some more new resources and locations to scale and this also brings up another new project for #free Linux #VPS instances at https://boxedtux.com (Fedi: @BoxedTux@mastodon.social) where people will be able to learn and practice on different #Linux based distributions (e.g., #Debian, #Ubuntu, #Rocky,...). BoxedTux utilizes #Proxmox clusters as a foundation.
Hope you like this small update... Over & out!
