- hereforphone 4y agoThey took away FreeBSD VPSs so I left. I'm happy at Vultr now.
- jtode 4y agoI'm curious what keeps you invested in BSD. I'm not a hater or anything, and in fact I have some experience, my last Sysadmin job involved a network with almost exclusively FreeBSD servers and I had to do some fast learning on their spin. It was objectively great, but eventually I migrated everything to Linux in order to make things more accessible to the people coming over from Windows servers, and I didn't find that things got any less stable or reliable. Of course, it might be that I'm the common factor there, for good or ill :>
- doublerabbit 4y agoFor me, why I have all my servers in colocation running FreeBSD. Is for the reason that it's not Linux. Even though I am Linux Engineer by job title, I've lost the sticky from the adhestive that Linux used to give me. It feels now more of a pressured big-corp grab then an OS that made game-changing moves. It's made it's comfort zone. I am cynical and that when one thing gets popular I tend to shift. So when FreeBSD becomes the next glory, I'll probably jump to Solaris or something; that and bHyve. That hypervisor has never let me down. With ZFS Snapshots and bHyve writing directy zvols, is just too tasty to turn down.
- shmoe 4y agoHipster engineer :)
- fullstop 4y agoI still have my FreeBSD droplet running there, maybe I should look at moving to Vultr or just migrating the services on that droplet to Linux.
- hereforphone 4y agoI ended up going back to Digital Ocean and using a custom FreeBSD cloud image I installed cloud-init on. My experience at vultr was that bad, and DO has always been good to me
