    I have an opinionated style of building backends and infrastructure. I have my opinions on what languages and software I prefer. It isn’t often the popular choice and ppl. have questioned them over the years. That makes me question and reflect on my choices - which I consider a good thing.

    Today I realized that there’re setups live and in production for 15+ years, which I have built or helped build, that never became a bottleneck or had a major outage.

    Some form of choice validation :)

    @hukl I have reason to do more FreeBSD work atm. and I’ve mentioned to a friend an hour ago: this shit is all so nice.

    In comparison to what I usually encounter.

    @janl yes - vanilla Jail management has improved quite a bit. I personally still use ezjail on everything because thin jails match my single tenancy setups. But before you try the different jail management tools, I'd start with the current vanilla jail management first.

    Back in the day it was a whole lot more fiddly
