ZFS Log Compression on FreeBSD | FreeBSD Foundation
System logs are an important source of information about events that happened during the runtime of the system. FreeBSD's default logging system, called syslog, writes them to /var/log/ as different files based on the subject matter.Mark Phillips (FreeBSD Foundation)

According to all known laws of DNS, there is no way a fedi instance could be hosted on an .ARPA domain.
Even if you get ahold of a domain like this, it should only be used for PTR records - right?
The instance, of course, federates anyway - because DNS doesn't care what humans think is impossible.

Bah. All that happens is that you get a bidirectional self-referencing host. Nothing to see.
But, it's not very helpful for humans....
fun fact, LE won't give you a cert for .arpa -- very few actially will. LE cites[0] an RFC[1] for this decision,
> In particular, the "arpa" domain is not to be used in the same manner (e.g., for naming hosts) as other generic Top Level Domains are commonly used.
No RFC2119 keywords are used in this recommendation, though, and nothing strictly forbidding experimentation.

Exemption for rDNS (ip6.arpa) domain
Let’s Encrypt initially issued for some .in-addr.arpa domains because we hadn’t explicitly blocked it. However, when we later looked at the purpose of the .in-addr.Let's Encrypt Community Support
oh, you actually managed to find an RFC that suggests against this! I tried and came up empty before.
wrt LE - it at least errors out properly! i've tried a variety of other certificate providers and most of them have errored out in a terrible, unverbose manner. I'm describing this in detail in my upcoming blogpost.

On Unix and gaming and SIGINFO
I used #Linux a bit in the days when Slackware was recent, then a friend of mine suggested #FreeBSD (4.7 at the time) and it was love at first sight. After that day, I used FreeBSD on all the servers I am the admin of, and also on my office desktop PC. Still very happy about my choice.
At home, on the other hand, I always needed to keep Windows to cater my gaming habit (no, I don't like dual booting at all, as I often game for a short time while keeping tens of other programs open and ready to use afterwards). Resorting to CygWin to have Unix tools, which I later substituted with WSL 1 (WSL 2 doesn't properly support IPv6 and also it occupies Hyper-V and thus forces VirtualBox in "turtle mode", so it is a no go for me), happily enough for a couple of decades.
Enter Steam creating Proton (out of Wine), making gaming on Linux a common and accessible thing almost overnight (of course it was possible for a long time already, but mostly retro-gaming and via emulators).
So, as an experiment, in the desktop PC I keep at my significant other's home I decided to try and avoid Windows… I tried FreeBSD for a couple of days, but running Proton on my nVidia 1070 card was very difficult (if at all possilble, I wonder) so, contrary to my convictions, I tried Arch Linux (mainly because it is the one Steam Deck is based on, and the fact that AUR is very similar to the FreeBSD Ports I love and use daily) and… even if #ZFS (I filesystem I cannot do without, ever) is not officially supported and using it via DKMS is a bit of an hack, that only took me 2 hours to conquer and from there it was all much smooth and easier that I dared dream. In only a couple more hours I had everything working at first try, all "by default" and with no need for extra configuration, including things like: nVidia with 3D and CUDA support, USB webcam, Wi-Fi printer/scanner, Bluetooth USB dongle.
I am impressed. 2024 might really be the "Linux on desktop year" as some say, for sure it was for me (at least in this PC, I'm still not migrating the existing Windows setup for now — but someday I will).
Now, ironically, the thing I feel absence mostly is control-T support in the terminal, which on BSD sends a SIGINFO which makes most programs print a status report on stderr. It is something that on Linux wasn't included "mostly out of laziness" as reported by Theodore Ts'o in 2014, but is still missing.
I am of course using FreeBSD on all the servers and hoping that FreeBSD will catch up on ease of use on the desktop to change to it again, but right now… I like using Linux better than Windows+WSL. 
Tech Cyborg reshared this.
I'm actually not sure… there's also the fact that I end up doing some devops on RedHat for work and had some past Ubuntu experience on Windows WSL too (I recently switched to Arch also on WSL).
I don't really like systemd, but in the end I don't hate it as much as I thought and I will not remove it from the system (I'm not even sure if that's possible); what I really like is that packages are (IMvHO) "properly updated" just like on FreeBSD, I really really dislike Debian approach "old is more secure" (which is not, IMHO, and sometimes is even spectacularly worse just because of that approach).

Why I like it - ARM instances are cheaper, they provision really fast. Volumes - allows to reattach them to other instance if needed helping with migration or easy rebuild of VM without losing important data.
Lastly - LoadBalancers - allows to keep single IP and route it to different VM’s without issues.

I migrated from Digitalocean a few month ago and can really recommend Hetzner. Pricing is really good, performance is great and the dashboard is modern and intuitive.
When I contacted customer support because of a question, they answered within a day.

Our family uses #StorageShare and I can sleep well because our cloud stuff is not under US control. Useful, cheap, secure - Pick three.

in reply to Hetzner • • •Hello dear Hetzner team,
I use an AX42 in Helsinki to virtualize various servers via Proxmox (including game servers, web servers, test servers for further training for work). I also use a CAX in your Hetzner Cloud in Falkenstein. A mail server (Mailcow) for various domains runs on this server.
I am very satisfied with Hetzner's servers and services and can definitely recommend them.
Keep up the good work.

We recommend Hetzner for its reliability, performance, and great price-to-value ratio.
Perfect choice for anyone who wants full control over their services.

in reply to Hetzner • • •We use Hetzner daily – at work and privately.
Cloud VMs, vSwitches, Storage Boxes, DNS API – everything just works.
Even on Easter Monday, Hetzner replaced failed hardware for free, ran full checks, gave KVM access & offered to send the defective disks by mail for a small fee.
Next: Managed Nextcloud with S3 storage for clients.
Root servers, client projects, Docker backups – Hetzner powers it all.
Great performance, fair prices, top support. Highly recommend.

We had unexpected hardware issues on a live system, and their response was immediate: diagnostics, KVM access, free replacement parts – no red tape, no delays.
That kind of support is hard to come by.
For us, Hetzner isn’t just infrastructure – it’s peace of mind.

in reply to Hetzner • • •I've been with @hetzner since 2020 and couldn't be happier.
Self-hosting services spanning across 2 servers in EU Central:
1. CCX13 x86 runs Mailcow and handles mail.
2. CAX21 ARM hosts Mastodon, Ghost CMS, Nextcloud, Grafana, Vaultwarden, Peertube & more.
I also use a Storage Box for backups. It’s been rock solid.
Support's always been quick and respectful.
You cover everything I need — reliable, powerful, no nonsense.
Thanks for making self-hosting a breeze!
