We may be in the market to hire a part-time FreeBSD and Bastille sysadmin (~20hrs week) specifically in the EMEA or APAC timezones (eventually both).

The roles require experience with FreeBSD, Bastille, nginx, and at least one useful coding language.

Timeline is mid-to-late 2026 to start.

Any of our EU / APAC friends want to come work part-time with the Bastille creator on a cybersecurity startup?

I've got a Lenovo M93p Tiny with 16GB RAM and a Haswell Xeon. It's a great little unit that I used to use as my Haiku build box.

I'm thinking about using it as a #Forgejo (and maybe eventually #Codeberg) Actions runner, with a handful of lightweight VMs (Alpine, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Haiku), each using no more than a gig or two of memory.

Does anyone have any tips on doing this? I'm guessing #Proxmox would be a good start, but I wonder if #FreeBSD with #bhyve and #BastilleBSD might also do a good job.

SYNOPSIS
bastille setup [-ax]
bastille setup [-ax]
bridge|linux|loopback|netgraph|firewall|shared|storage|vnet
