I've moved all my home bulk data storage to ZFS (openzfs.org/wiki/Main_Page) over the last month. (If you haven't used it, it's awesome. More than you're thinking. More than that. It's worth learning.)

So, I'm in deep-learning mode and sometimes get stuck, right? *Every* time I get stuck or confused about something in ZFS there is a Klara Systems article which explains things clearly and with technical rigor. Love it. Huge thanks to Klara folks for sharing their expertise so widely!

#FreeBSD #ZFS


I’ve documented a clean, native way to integrate FreeBSD 15 into a FreeIPA realm. No heavy dependencies, no Python shims, just pure Kerberos (GSSAPI) and nslcd.

We get full SSH SSO, automated home directories, and centralized sudo rules using standard BSD tools. Pure, stateless, and sane.

Running Mastodon on FreeBSD? Stop using wrapper scripts that break service status.

I've refactored the init scripts for Sidekiq, Puma, and Streaming to be fully production-grade:

- Clean privilege dropping (no su wrappers)
- Native signal handling for log rotation
- Correct PID tracking & status reporting.

I published the scripts and the reasoning behind them in my Codeberg gists:

codeberg.org/Larvitz/gists/src…

I use those to run a Mastodon instance and they're working great so far!
