Make Your Own Internet Presence with NetBSD and a 1 euro VPS - Part 1: Your Blog

https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/04/22/make-your-own-internet-presence-with-netbsd-and-a-1-euro-vps-part-1-your-blog/

#ITNotes #NetBSD #RUNBSD #BSSG #OwnYourData

With a slight detour road trip delay, should have most #NetBSD hosts at 11.0, so back to building #QGIS which is now at 4.2.1 ish

...
-- SFCGAL not enabled - disabling bindings
-- QtGamepad not enabled - disabling bindings for derived classes
-- Ctest Binary Directory set to: /usr/pkgsrc/wip/qgis/work/QGIS-final-4_2_1/cmake-pkgsrc-build/output/bin
-- Configuring done (21.0s)
...

@netbsd I get the impression that the "log" option is buggy & does not work reliably yet.?

So ... can haz #ZFSEverywhere instead?🥺👉👈
(rhetorical)

@jaypatelani @jeff

#NetBSD #FFS #ZFS #fileSystem

Going to do more testing over the weekend, but I might have found a ~$4/year VPS that can run #OpenBSD #FreeBSD or #NetBSD

- 512MB RAM
- 5GB SSD
- 1vCPU

Caveats: it’s NAT VPS, so TLS needs to terminate at their edge.

Check out stats hosted here: https://obsd.btxx.org/

You could also go even cheaper if you configured less RAM or storage!

Currently playing with #NetBSD MICROVM kernel and the excellent work by @imil

Impressive!
