It's time for an #introduction.
I'm glad to meet you! I'm the barista and main administrator of the bsd.cafe and illumos.cafe instances (and other projects), a computer science enthusiast who's been fascinated by technology since childhood. I'm a big supporter of open-source solutions and enjoy working with #BSDs as well as #illumos based OSes and #Linux systems. I enjoy #music and #photography. I've been an avid traveler and am now looking forward to getting back to traveling.I'm married to a wonderful wife and strive to live each day with a positive attitude,making the most of every day to improve our lives.
I like writing blog articles, especially tech ones (https://it-notes.dragas.net) and, from time to time, some of them are widely appreciated, especially in the open-source community.
Thank you for passing by and reading my introduction, enjoy your stay here in the #fediverse

@stefano I wasn't sure of the best way to ask you a question.
I remember there was a discussion about how to install your OS when the provider does not offer it. I know it is tricky but possible to install from a RAM disk.
An odd situation has developed where I will need to install this way, with debian on a vps and with BDS on a vps.
Can you believe a host would suddenly remove all debian images without noticed? Well, it happened. This would be a solution, in case if I do need to re-install. -

The last time I used it was...yesterday, but I documented it: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/07/02/install_freebsd_providers_mfsbsd/
