Hello from the other side!
Yes, it's true. This instance is now running from the Orange PI PC (NetBSD, armv7). It's currently using the SD Card. The performance is...you judge! And it's not set to low_power mode!
EDIT: we're back to the VPS for now.

Awesome, thanks! Will give it a spin and let you know how it goes
Relax and enjoy:
»Solo Canoe Trip: 3 Days in Northern Sweden«
Silent filmmaker Harmen Hoek has a unique way of storytelling without saying anything - just through beautifully filmed scenes in nature.

Bit of a disappointing trip. Nice ascent & quiet summit, picnic + wine, until 50+ others joined us with music, shouting etc. We headed off to a quiet, adjacent hill. Difficult to get shot during eclipse as no filters, but towards the end, as we were descending, we were rewarded for our efforts by the sun dropping into the evening haze near Granada.
Next year we'll do more research in advance and maybe know a bit more about how to shoot these things 😂
Nasty idea...what if I move this instance...here, for a while, to test? 😉
@farooqkz@bsd.cafe @stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it FreeBSD will drop support for armv6 and armv7 quite soon, while NetBSD will continue to support them for a long time. I think NetBSD is more suitable, for those kinds of boards.
I have some of them running FreeBSD, too, and they're doing fine. Armv7 is also supported by OpenBSD.
Benchmarks are planned, and this is here for a specific reason 😉
@epn4littlefedi thanks. this is why we're testing with real users before releasing the code: to iron out those issues. We won't find all of them, but still...
@farooqkz@bsd.cafe no, this VPS is just a small FreeBSD VPS. The Raspberry PI instance is the @stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it 's one. That was affected, too, but on a smaller scale as it's...smaller and one user.
Last night, the VPS load monitoring for this instance showed a progressive increase. On one hand, we were expecting it, as the instance grows. On the other, it was higher than anticipated.
Upon investigating, we realised there was an inefficiency linked to two missing DB views, which was generating a mountain of queries whenever a federated activity arrived. Simply creating them was enough: the CPU load upon the arrival of each status dropped from 80% for two seconds to 0.50% for a fraction of a second.
Enjoy the speed 😃
I am supervising a second-year electrical engineering undergraduate on a microcontroller programming project using MicroPython. Before he went on vacation last month, I introduced him to wire wrapping. He was fascinated and spent the rest of the afternoon playing with the tool and the wire—making connections, undoing them, and testing things out. This technique is no longer taught in undergraduate programs. I think he’ll love this photo of the first IBM PC prototype.
