Late again for #Caturday
Not #caturday but good enough for #catsofmastodon ! It’s a cold windy snowy slushy day out there. So my legs are taken over with a cozy blanket.
Woooow! At @BoxyBSD we provisioned our 500th free VPS instance this weekend. Providing you guys free VPS instances with your favorite BSD based system of choice - #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD and also other ones or even #Illumos for our #Solars friends and somehow I'm a little bit proud!
