Hi,

If you are looking for a VPS hosting service compatible with NetBSD amd64, dedirock.com makes it pretty easy :

  • full virtio devices
  • qemu vCPU (KVM
  • custom iso file uploading
  • boot from cdrom that actually works
  • VNC remote access during installation phase

What can I say, it has been a long time since I hadn’t toyed with NetBSD on a VPS. That was surprisingly easy.

No need to boot in rescue mode, overwrite the default Linux OS with a NetBSD bootstrap and tweaks dozen things. Nope, just boot, install, done.

      Maintaining actual skills, unix basics. Not just learning more systemd wizard macros, or jugling with half baked dockerized applications and kubernetes dashboard.

      Nothing wrong with systemd or docker, I do many sketchy things like that at work. It breaks and spontaneously generate work, I’m more than OK with that.

        I wish I was better at regex stuff for sure. I just wish I had a job that paid where I could do that stuff. Everything that pays my salary is either devOps or requires a top secret clearance. Makes me miss being young.
