#Introduction
Hi, this is a backup account first, in case my instance isn't available and people who are not in direct contact with me daily would need to find about it (there is no such users at the moment though).

I use Linux and Unixen for about 20 years, and run a server for my projects with SmartOS since somewhen in 2012 (at first at OVH, then at Hetzner).

I contribute to different OSS projects whenever I could, and recently I was honoured to help to establish the OpenIndiana/illumos Association - #OIDA

Also on topic of this instance:
my own istance is a small one, but it runs fully under the #SmartOS hypervisor on a bare metal server, splitted into a few LX zones (for ruby processes - puma and sidekiqs) and a few natives ones (postgres, redis, etc).
It is a third iteration of the setup since 2022 - back then it was possible to run everything in natives zones.

Can’t believe I’m only discovering #SmartOS now https://docs.smartos.org/. A fantastic fit for how I learn by experimenting with #containers and #VMs across agentic platforms like #Waldiez, #KaliLinux, and more.

📚 Behold, the #labyrinth of #SmartOS documentation—a riveting saga where “Quick Start” is an epic quest, and “How to Use this Site” is your final boss battle. 🤯 Enjoy getting lost in the abyss of nested "Home" pages, while the "User's Guide" remains a myth as elusive as the Loch Ness Monster. 🔍💻

I gotta get off my ass at some point for SmartOS v6-only support. We might be mostly/all there already but I can't remember if some of the JS portions of #smartos need some love. I know #Triton does.

It's less critical for #Triton except for public/external networks because Triton's internal ones are easily covered by RFC 1918 blocks.

Static Web Hosting on the Intel N150: FreeBSD, SmartOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Linux Compared

Compare static web hosting performance on an Intel N150 using the same nginx.conf across FreeBSD jails, SmartOS zones, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Linux, focusing on HTTP vs HTTPS and TLS CPU usage.

🌘 Intel N150 上的靜態網站託管：FreeBSD、SmartOS、NetBSD、OpenBSD 與 Linux 效能比較
➤ 深入探討不同類Unix系統在迷你伺服器上託管靜態網站的實際效能

本文在 Intel N150 這款迷你電腦上，針對 FreeBSD、SmartOS、NetBSD、OpenBSD 和 Linux 等多種作業系統進行了靜態網站託管的效能比較。作者使用了預設的 Nginx 設定，並在相同的硬體環境和伺服器設定下，測試了 HTTP 和 HTTPS 協定下的請求處理能力。測試結果顯示，對於純 HTTP 流量，各作業系統間的效能差異並不大，大多能達到每秒 63,000 至 64,000 次請求；然而，
