Okay, okay... you guys asked a way too often for this and I want to make your life easier:

BoxyBSD now also offers NAT64 for your #FreeBSD, OpenBSD, #NetBSD, etc. VPS boxes! Next to the reverse proxies, you can now simply use the new NAT64 way :)

Hello dorkness, my old friend
I've come to boot FreeBSD
Because my Steam Deck needed some fun...

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.

Got a question about #FreeBSD and #ZFS :

If I wanted to make a separate dataset for MySQL data (/var/db/mysql) and plug it into the Jail, what is the best way to go about that? Do I use zfs-jail or do I mount it directly into /usr/local/bastille/jails/JAILNAME/root/var/db/mysql? Or some other way?

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.

It used a zaptel driver I blindly ported to #NetBSD from #FreeBSD 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 #PinePhonePro screen working on #FreeBSD 🎉 Long way to go yet, but this is a massive step forward for making FreeBSD usable on the device.
