My main #hubzilla hub runs on #FreeBSD and I just migrated my backup hub from #OmniOS to #NixOS - for some reason I gravitate to obscure operating systems...

Security by obscurity? Or just fun?

@Einer von Vielen Just fun. I don't beliefe in security by obscurity - if anything these OSes are less secure because they're less widely used and it might take longer for security issues to be discovered.

well you seem to worry about security. Your main hub runs on FreeBSD, the most secure operating system, and not obscure at all

I though I had upgraded my #hubzilla instance to PHP 8 ages ago. Turns out that this was untrue - guess it was my backup instance that got the treatment but not the main instance.

Anyhow, grindcore.ch is now running on PHP 8.1 on #FreeBSD 12.3 - so for now I'm up to date...

My Hubzilla instance is now running on #FreeBSD 12.3. - the upgrade went flawlessly, as always. On the way I discovered that FreeBSD now has boot environments, too. I didn't know...

I'm on 13.0-RELEASE-p5, system upgrades are rarely a worry.

@Harald Eilertsen I considered going straight to 13.0 but decided against it because I don't really have out of band access to that machine. So with every reboot I'm anxious for it to come back up....

@Beni Grind I definitely understand that.

Hello everyone from #FreeBSD 12.2 - my machine and all jails are now up do date! Another smooth upgrade....

IProbably nobody noticed this but grindcore.ch was IPv6 only for one night. Somehow the PF rules didn't come up cleanly after the upgrade to #FreeBSD 11.1.

Does it? It's probably because it's running on a (mostly) dedicated box and I'm pretty much the only user on it.

Oh Yeah!
Just visited your profile. Smokin' hot fast. The fastest Hubzilla I have ever seen so far.

@tobias to me it usually feels quite sluggish. Maybe that's only because I never post anything. I never do any server maintenance apart from upgrading the system.

Great, I spend hours trying to figure out why my pf.conf blocks traffic from one #FreeBSD jail to another.... until I noticed that I set one internal IP to 10.0.1.5 instead of 10.0.0.5...

Finally my #FreeBSD server does regular automatic #ZFS snapshots and smartmontools monitor my disc drives. I wanted to get this sorted for a long time. Now my cloud and my #hubzilla site are just a tiny bit securer. I still lack proper backups though, I really should get that fixed too....
