weirdr.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.

This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.

Site description
This is a dual Pentium Pro running NetBSD.
Check out the floppy museum for hints on how to get in touch. Or, you know, ping me on the fediverse. :)

Some technical details for those interested:
The entire FediMeteo setup runs on a FreeBSD VM costing around 4 euros per month. It supports almost all major EU countries (plus the UK), with just a few left to complete. Currently, there are 25 separate jails, each running its own instance of snac, totaling 25 instances. The VM load typically stays around 10%, which increases to 30% when updates are published for countries with larger numbers of cities (currently Germany and Italy). The only time the load spikes is when new countries are announced; during that time, all remote instances connect to all cities to download their details.
As for RAM usage, excluding the ZFS cache, it's currently a total of 213 MB. Yes, MB.

      I don't really want to switch this off, but it's no longer in use and is just sitting taking power. It ran our phone system for many years.

      voip: {1} uname -v
      NetBSD 3.1_STABLE (GENERIC) #1: Fri Oct 31 18:28:54 GMT 2008

      It used a zaptel driver I blindly ported to from which worked first time when plugged into 4x PSTN lines:

      wcfxs0 at pci4 dev 0 function 0: Wildcard TDM400P REV I
      wcfxs0: operating mode: UK

        Progress!! I managed to get the screen working on ๐ŸŽ‰ Long way to go yet, but this is a massive step forward for making FreeBSD usable on the device.
