Take a look at Thomas Krenn.

You can select FreeBSD as operating system in the first drop down menu, after selecting a server model. This way you get only compatible hardware listed in the configurator.
I'm quite sure they deliver to the UK too.
Hope this helps you out.
Edit1: fixed typos
It's kinda funny that I don't even care anymore that "not everyone is on Mastodon". It is definitely a good thing. The same happened in the past with IRC and Telegram. You know they still exist, lots of people like me use them and I still will not use the popular ones that much or at all.
Right #Fediverse #Linux and #BSD folk
Where are you buying your server hardware from?
(Ideally in the UK or Europe that ship to the UK, but I'll accept worldwide answers too)
Specifically I'm in the need for a couple of 2U rack mount servers that are compatible or at least tested with #FreeBSD, but I could run #Debian too
Will be for a corporate business so I need the whole "corporate vanity" of having a brand new out of the box server for them (don't worry, I buy second hand ones for my own use).
💾 Alright #Fediverse, let's tap into your technical experitise for this one: what’s an OLD piece of technology that will become crucial again in the future? Think beyond 21st Century, if possible!
My example: the mechanical/pedal sewing machine, the one our grandmas had in our childhoods 👀
OK folks, we need to stop assuming #Mastodon is the entire #Fediverse and expecting its idiosyncrasies to be mandated on everyone else. There's no such thing as a "CW" in Note can have a summary and a content and if Mastodon wants to display the summary and hide the content that's its problem. There are so many examples of this. Please stop screaming at people just because you think they've failed some kind of Mastodon purity test on an ActivityPub network when they're following the rules of their instance.
If you've got an #Instagram account, why not go ahead and share something about @pixelfed?
I don't know much about Instagram myself, but I know you need an image or video, so... How about a screenshot of the #Pixelfed logo, or a photo of your PC monitor showing your home feed or... Something completely unrelated?
Link to https://pixelfed.org/how-to-join in your message. Let's start a movement to bring more people into the #Fediverse! :-)
(cc @dansup)
@ascentale @edd #BikeNite A4: That would be cool! So far I shied away from platforms like #Strava or #Komoot for privacy concerns. But sometimes I'd like to share a specific ride—especially on #Fediverse—more easily than doing screenshots of GPS traces from my smartphone's map app ("Mæp") or photographing my GPS device's screen.
Cool would be something that works with my wifi-capable Garmin GPS as I usually don't use my smartphone for tracking my rides. (Its own sharing feature is crap.)
@GossiTheDog: Are there really #Fediverse servers running on Windows with #Crowdstrike Falcon running on it, too? 🤪

@usul And yet we are discussing using an open standard called #ActivityPub where you are somewhere in the #fediverse and I am on my single user instance. All using Open Source. Weird ;)
Just added around 10 new domains to this list of #Mastodon 
instances:
I need to do my periodic clean-up and check all the domains to see if there's any that need removing — but it's still quite a nice reference for people looking for new instances to browse or join.
Will do a clean-up soon and remove any dead domains from the list.
#Mastodon #MastoAdmin #Instances #InstanceList #CuratedLists #Domains #Fediverse #Allheimen #RegionalInstances #MastoTips
I want to go out
Let me out!!!
To be fair this running commentary on the #fediverse always makes the route feel shorter.
I don't say this enough, but man, I'm just so honored to be here among all you amazing weirdos.
The #Fediverse is the best online community I've ever experienced in *thirty-three* years of being on the #Internet.
I'd like to interject for a moment.
What you're referring to as #Mastodon is in fact the #Fediverse.
Mastodon is not a network unto itself, but rather another open component of a fully functioning network made useful by #ActivityPub.
Every Mastodon user is in fact a user of the fediverse without realizing it.
There really is a Mastodon, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the greater whole. Mastodon is one example of a service using the AcivityPub spec, and is an essential part of the Fediverse, but of limited utility by itself; it is best understood and functions at its greatest when used in combination with other Fediverse services.
Having second thoughts about creating a #Fediverse platform. I was not aware of the levels of toxicity on #Mastodon by users (even admins) who don't understand how federation protocols work and harass developers with false accusations and even uploading child porn to their websites to get them in legal trouble. No, thank you.#ActivityPubwedistribute.org/2024/03/contentnation-mastodons-toxicity/
Tonight, my wife and I were watching some videos from the Glastonbury concert. Shortly after, I showed her the stunning photos shared by @Glastomichelle and we decided that as soon as we have the chance, we’ll visit those places. The Fediverse works better than a travel agency!
Can we have a #filter setting that treats capital letters differently to lower case? #Mastodon #tusky #Fediverse I cannot filter out AI posts without losing lots of French posts with j'ai l'ai etc. Merci !

Apparently I've been on #X for 15 years today. Good memories!
Of course, it was called #Twitter back then, and it was actually a nice place to be. 😛
I wish I could convince more of my friends to come to the #Fediverse, but very few of them are even the least bit interested. 😕

It breaks my heart 💔 to see the way the Fediverse is discussing the issues arising from some FOSS projects like #Hyprland, #NixOS, and now the #Ladybird project. The divisiveness and lack of empathy in these discussions is truly sickening.
Our enemies are not individuals who spend their entire free time to contribute to FOSS and make mistakes along the way, but corporations and unhinged capitalism that take away our freedoms.
Let's resist the urge to condemn entire projects based on the actions or decisions of individual contributors. It's counterproductive. The beauty of this space is that we have the opportunity to engage in factual, nuanced, and compassionate discussions about these challenges. There's room for diverse perspectives and healthy debate here.
Isn't that what should set us apart from the toxicity and polarization found on platforms like X/Twitter? We're better than that.
The world is not binary. Just because someone isn't pro-something doesn't mean they're anti-something. And not being interested in a particular topic, how important it might be, doesn't make someone subject to be "purged". Life is complex and multifaceted, and we all have our own priorities and experiences that shape our views.
"Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her." (John 8:7) This verse serves as a guiding principle for me, and I believe it should be a cornerstone of any progressive community.
Apparently #Threads users in "over 100 countries" can now enable federation, and they can now see and Like replies from #Fediverse users. But I haven't been able to find a list of which countries these are. Is #SouthAfrica included yet?
Goodnight, friends of the #Fediverse. Let's finish this day with some good music
Question to #Fediverse #dev friends: In recent years, many developers seem to find #Sentry necessary - a heavyweight both in terms of resource usage and data processed.
Within days, up to hundreds of GBs of data accumulate, contrasting their CMSes that are small, fast, and efficient, only a few GBs in size.
The question is: Do you think it's truly beneficial, or is it one of those things everyone does just because "everyone else does"?
The #Fediverse...
Its kinda like Mos Eisley... But the precise opposite.
"The Fediverse: you will never find a more delightful hive of kindness and nerdery."

Friends of #BSDCafe and the entire #Fediverse, good morning and happy Sunday!
I've made some changes to our setup. Last week, there were some slowdowns in the services at BSD Cafe, especially in the #Mastodon instance. After investigating, I discovered that the issue was with the DNS resolution (it was the DNS! 😆 ).
I’ve now installed two jails with unbound on the two BSD Cafe VPSs. This allows us to perform all DNS resolutions locally with caching, so we don’t have to rely on external services.
This way, services like Mastodon or Matrix, which make extensive use of name resolution, can benefit from local caching and resolve domains autonomously.

Good morning and happy Thursday to the entire #Fediverse
What do we all have planned for the day as we near the weekend.
For me, it's just the usual work stuff with a meeting at 12pm today. Should be quick, easy, enjoyable meeting so nothing to worry about.
After that, just going to rest and relax and enjoy some TV time with the wife.
#MorningMoments #GoodMorning #Work #WorkMeeting #TV
Goodnight, #BSDCafe

Goodnight, #World
We are very close to reaching 100k followers on @Mastodon.
Can you help us get there?

Some time earlier I made the following rather similar observations in the LESSONS LEARNED section of my about.txt file at https://manpager.org/usr/aa/about.txt
- If you are in a bad environment, change it.
- There's nothing like having friends. But assholes are not worth your time. Which ones you get largely depends on your environment. Seek better environment.
The story behind these is that I have for a long time considered the world to be a very dark place, full of awful people. Then I moved to Georgia, and in a few months began attending expat meetings. The people I've met are the most alive, curious and friendly out of all my acquaintances.
It was like that with social media. For a long time I couldn't quite understand the name -- most people on these websites seemed very *anti*-social to me. So far I did see a *little* bit of that on the #fediverse, however I've seen much *more* of people being friendly, and engaging in discussion.
I think in both cases a major difference is that I am coming from something I (and most other participants really) have been forced into, and getting into something else voluntarily. Another one is that perhaps things like the latter tend to attract better people than the previous.
👀 ⚠️ A reminder and request:
Please use alt text on images, text screenshots, graphs, and photos.
There are many blind and vision-impaired accounts on fediverse who are missing out on much of the content posted here.
Also those who have very slow internet are seeing only blurred images-not everyone has access to high speed internet.
In today's troubled world could we please try to be inclusive.
Thank you for reading my request.
@wogan As long as #Threads is not showing replies from the #Fediverse to their own users, I am more and more inclined to think that #Meta is indeed trying to lure Fediverse users that are frustrated because nobody can see their posts into their semi-closed ecosystem that way.
Or at least divert any growth from Fediverse beyond the hard-core Fedizens into Threads so that it is not becoming a serious competitor to their business model...
Because how could I ever become an #influencer on Mastodon that way?
@elhackernet: 🙈
(#Fediverse or maybe #Mastodon side question: What language do I select if I would only post an emoji? #AskFedi)
The new GoToSocial release looks quite interesting!
https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.16.0
Yes, you read that right. While the overall numbers might suggest growth, a deeper look reveals a worrying trend: the monthly active users on the Fediverse have plummeted to half of what they once were. Even the big profiles are feeling the pinch with dwindling interactions. Could it be that the Fediverse honeymoon is over?
Meanwhile, Twitter/X is seeing a resurgence. More and more users are flocking back, reigniting the platform with a surge of interactions. Is this the beginning of the end for the Fediverse, or just a bump in the road?
Let’s hear your thoughts!

If this PC Engines APU4D4 doesn't work out for my 1GB #FTTP pppoe wan connection then I'm going to throw some money at an mini router PC that has a beefy CPU say i3 or up with 4 x 2.5Gb Ethernet ports. I don't need WiFI just something that'll be future proof for a while and can handle firewalls and other such additions with ease. I'd like to run #OpenWRT to start with but may progress who knows ?
So #Fediverse do you have any recommendations for me that pass 1Gb or more with ease ?
Please boost for a wider reach. Thank you ❤️

This post below did - by far - not get enough traction, so here I am, quote posting it.
Please make sure it reaches the last corner of the #Fediverse. And the #World.
Because being able to #love others requires being able to love yourself. Because it requires owning your #emotions and #feelings.
Because it requires understanding that you are responsible for your own decisions and not those of others.
#Empathy means ensuring that you do not see your own emotions as merchandise and then are stingy with them.

Good morning #FreeBSD, #NetBSD & #OpenBSD fans!
The #BoxyBSD service is live for quite a while and it got a little bit silent - things just run and work. Are you missing anything?
Do you have any wishes that could help you to boost up your personal knowledge or your opensource project?

#Blogging idea:
Pick a month and challenge myself to blog every time I feel like writing a random #fediverse post.
I'll even create a script as an alternative to my tootme (https://codeberg.org/rldane/scripts/src/branch/main/tootme) script to create a blog post, and call it "blogme" (and alias tootme to blogme for that month.
WHO IS WITH ME?!? :D
(Read: Who is willing to verbally kick my butt if they see me not doing what I set out to do?)
Wow, apparently there is now a classified ads platform for the Fediverse called Flohmarkt ("flea market"). You can find out more at:
➡️ https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt
...and especially its wiki page at:
➡️ https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki
The wiki contains a list of existing servers, compatibility with other Fediverse platforms like Mastodon, and instructions for installation.
There's no official account yet but you can follow the Flohmarkt lead developer at:
➡️ @grindhold
I should be able to follow #Cara users from my Mastodon account. You can't convince me to make yet another account in a yet another silo, but I'd love to see and share more art in my home feed. Anyone have a connection to their team? Would love to chat about the #fediverse.
Happy Wednesday to all of you around the #Fediverse today!
Let's all discuss what our day has in store for us or what we've already accomplished.
For me, it's back to work after a week of vacation, so the Nova inbox is FILLED UP with about 600 emails. Much lower than I expected, so I'll be working on that for a bit and then a meeting at 2pm EST which will be good.
Tonight is Fortnite with friends possibly and then just resting and relaxing.
#MorningMoments #GoodMorning #BackFromVacation
Friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, for those who may not have heard, we recently lost Mike Karels - @karels - a truly significant figure in the history of our favorite operating systems. Among our BSD Cafe community, we have his niece - @kristin_charlotte
Let's show her family our warmth and gratitude for the role he played.
Every morning, an instance administrator wakes up knowing they need to keep the infrastructure running smoothly for their users, ensuring a good and free social experience.
Every morning, a Fediverse user wakes up knowing they will find many people eager to socialize and interact, who strive to keep the Internet a place for the free exchange of ideas and opinions, away from the dynamics of closed protocols and Big Tech monetization.
It doesn't matter if you are a server administrator or a Fediverse user, thank you for being here and for contributing every day with your efforts to keep the Internet a free place.

Man, the #Fediverse is full of so much of the very best kind of peer pressure, y'all. XD
I'm trying to come up with a list of South African Mastodon instances.
Aside from mastodon.africa (which is a great instance, IMO, and you wouldn't regret migrating), do you know of any Mastodon instances operated by South Africans in South Africa, which primarily attract users in South Africa?

Friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse,
The second presentation from #BSDPub, hosted by @gyptazy, is now available on our BSD Cafe YouTube channel.
Join me as I delve into the infrastructure of BSD Cafe and share techniques on managing its backups. This talk was part of the BSD Pub Meeting held on 23/05/2024.

Friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, some of the presentations at #BSDPub, hosted by @gyptazy are noteworthy and many of you who couldn't attend might be interested in watching them.
We have therefore decided to create a channel for BSD Cafe (currently on YouTube, but I have other ideas more aligned with the OpenSource spirit of the Fediverse) where the most requested and interesting talks will be published.
The first video is the presentation of Freedive, a mobile-first web interface to run FreeBSD as a personal/public server. Developed and presented by Harshad - @harshad - it allows you to manage FreeBSD server or jail services directly from a mobile device—a dream come true for all of us who often find ourselves typing commands on the tiny keyboards of today's smartphones.
I highly recommend everyone to watch Harshad's presentation here: https://youtu.be/YhKQsPVM8sQ
In the coming days, I will also publish my presentation on the basic infrastructure of BSD Cafe and the management of its backups.
Stay tuned!

Friends of #BSDCafe and the whole #Fediverse, question of the day: will we manage to get through 24 hours straight without rain?
Weather aside, later this morning, I'll announce something very exciting.
Have a great week, everyone!
I'm not on #Instagram; it never really appealed to me. I tried it a few years ago, and yeah, *technically speaking* I have an account there, but I wouldn't know the first thing about it these days, nor how to use it.
I do understand it's really popular, though. And I'm all for bringing people over to the #Fediverse.
So if you're on Instagram, are you also on @pixelfed? And if not, why not?
If so, when last did you invite your Instagram followers to join #Pixelfed instead?
We don't have a marketing budget like Meta, everyone. We should all do our part when it comes to introducing people to the new paradigm that is the Fediverse! 😁

In a world full of people ready to jump on hypes for mere profit, I strive to make people think and make the right choices. But certain stereotypes are too tempting, and some ultimately prefer to believe in the stereotypes rather than the truth that I've patiently and consistently advocated for over the years. In those moments, in these moments, I feel down. Tomorrow morning, I'll return to fighting my battles with my usual optimism and energy. But tonight, allow me to feel this way. Goodnight, friends of the #Fediverse!

Do we have community related suggestions how #arm64 based systems could valuable be integrated into #BoxyBSD? Limited resources do not offer permanent VMs right now. Until there’re more resources available this could be based on a week or month assignment (e.g. to give #ports maintainers a possibility to test on #aarch64)?!

Da ich bereits am Ziel bin, werde ich exklusiv Fotos davon hier im #fediverse posten.

So here comes the toot, please boost:
Dear #fediverse I'm looking for a flat or bedroom in a share accom, preferible with just one person (same as now) in Berlin.
Could you please point me in the right direction of what's the most used website for flat finding that's not a Letting Agency (I hate them with passion) or that is directly where people gather to find flats?
I just need to figure the current prices and figure what's the combination of factors (area, transport, closeness to the city centre) that I need to find the cheapest option.
Moving date the latest: 1st July.

For the new folks joining #Mastodon and the #fediverse overall, welcome! It's good to see you filling out a short bio and an avatar to get to know you, but be sure to *engage* with those you follow and remember to "be excellent to each other" when you do. Use CWs if you wonder if your post/toot/whatever is appropriate (better safe than sorry), and provide image descriptions to aid the visually impaired on the fedi.
For the most part, everyone is mindful of others on the fedi ("Do unto others...", that ol' chestnut). Be sure to do the same. 
✌🏻
Would be neat if #Ecosia had a presence on the #Fediverse... 
@mmm_eskandari Welcome to #Mastodon, to the #Fediverse and to the BSD Cafe!
One of the things that many people do as soon as they get here is post an #Introduction (using hashtags is quite important here, posts are much more visible) and people will welcome and start following you.
