@drixter 🙂 great place to be!

@cd_run_code It all was a slow escallation from the silly idea "What if I could be my own provider" to that result, I have now .. 🙂 But was an amazing learning opportinity!

New blog post: Running your own Autonomous System on FreeBSD.

Got an AS number and IPv6 /48 via RIPE, set up a FreeBSD BGP router with FRR, two upstreams, and built GRE/GIF tunnels ti bring my own globally routable addresses to servers at different providers.

The interesting part: dual-FIB policy routing lets FreeBSD jails speak from both provider and BGP addresses simultaneously.

#FreeBSD #BGP #IPv6 #Networking #SelfHosted

20+ years of self-hosted email. Windows-free since 2007 and only using Linux and BSD based computers.

Here's my big tech exit so far:

X -> Mastodon
Reddit -> Lemmy
WhatsApp/iMessage -> Matrix & Threema
Google Drive -> Nextcloud
iCloud Photos -> Immich
Netflix -> Jellyfin & optical media
Audible -> Audiobookshelf
Ubiquiti -> FreeBSD router
HomePod -> Home Assistant
GitHub -> Codeberg/Forgejo
Cloud-Computing -> Netcup from Germany
Online News outlets -> TinyRSS

Still trapped: iPhone (ecosystem lock-in is real)

@jwildeboer @jwildeboer I selfhost everything I can. E-Mail, File sync, Git forge, websites, Matrix and much more. My own Mailserver is maintained for more than 20 years already.

For the other points: Heatpumps and solar unfortunately fails because of my landlord.

And for transportation, I prefer the "no car at all" approach and am a happy Deutsche Bahn customer and eBike user 🚆
