@tj @stefano In fairness, looking (from the outside) at the upgrade experiences of a number of #Mastodon nodes where I have accounts, the latest of which was an aborted 4.4 to 4.5 upgrade on one node (not this one) that lost a day's worth of data, I think that we can put this down to the general nature of the Mastodon upgrade process rather than the platform that it runs on.Mind you, I have yet to hear of a large complex WWW-involved system with SQL-back ends where upgrades are *not* fraught with pitfalls.

Dear fellow *BSD aficionado,First and foremost: our sincere gratitude for your interest and intention to attend our conference. We love having such an amazing community and were looking forward to meeting you once again at the Late 25 edition of BSD-NL.Unfortunately, we have to postpone this edition. We did not get enough ticket orders in to make it viable. Reflecting back, this was mainly our fault. We announced this edition way too late. Plus, there are other events at the same day, which is less than ideal. We will take these lessons to heart (and practice).We will, most definitely, organise a new event somewhere in spring - the Early 26 edition. And we would like to see you there!Sincere apologies. We will do better.#BSDNL #RUNBSD #BSD #OpenBSD #FreeBSD #NetBSD #HardenedBSD #SecBSD #DragonflyBSD

So, I get to build some ZFS file servers for $dayJorb. These will be hosting VM images. Does anyone have any thoughts on disk types and layout? I'm hoping for about 30 TB of usable space each. The last time I got to build this big, we did it with spinning rust because we were cost constrained. I am being lead to believe I have significant funding this time.#FreeBSD #ZFS
