Guten Morgen allerseits! 😀 👋
Zum #MountainMonday heute ein Foto des schönen Matterhorns (4.478 m) im schweizerischen Wallis, aufgenommen vom Oberrothorn (3.414 m) aus. Ganz klein sieht man unten einen Paraglider.
Einen guten und ruhigen Start in die neue Woche für uns alle!

French driver Pierre Gasly has signed a contract extension with Alpine until the end of the 2028 season, the Renault-owned Formula One team announced at the Italian Grand Prix on Saturday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/09/06/more-sports/gasly-alpine-extension/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports #alpine #renault #formulaone #pierregasly

Looking for advice: which VPS would you recommend for resting a small application? (sqlite+caddy/nginx+php)?
Looking for something cheap, with low resources. I am not piky on the OS, but prefer something lightweight ( #alpine #bsd).
I saw https://deluxhost.net but was not able to grab their cheap offers: looks like they're new, but couldn't find any review.
What would you suggest?

Pencil pines (Athrotaxis cupressoides) are endemic to Tasmania. Individual trees are known to live to 1200 years of age, but many stands like this can also be genetically identical, meaning it could be considered as just one tree, lasting over thousands of years!

TIL that software (especially #scripting runtimes like #Python, #Perl, and #NodeJS) running in #Alpine#Linux containers is often slower than in other distros like #Ubuntu. This is despite Alpine being faster on startup and often vastly more efficient with CPU, memory, and storage.
It mostly comes down to Alpine’s use of musl libc rather than #GNU’s glibc. musl is optimized for minimalism, not raw performance. Also, the Alpine packages are often not compiled with as many optimizations.
Ok someone out here almost certainly knows, and I need a double check: does Alpine Linux ship with sysfs by default?
I mean there's a lot of things that half rely on sysfs being around for somewhat good reason, but I've got some indications it doesn't ship with it by default, and that seems wacky pants to me.
So I ask the Fedi!

#RUNBSD! But BoxyBSD now also starts to support #Linux! We're starting soon with the Linux support for already present users, offering free boxes:
* #AlmaLinux
* #Alpine
* #Debian
* #Devuan
* #CentOS
* #Fedora
* #Gentoo
* #OpenSuse
* #OpenEuler
* #RockyLinux
Just next to our core OS like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, #MidnightBSD and #DragonflyBSD (and #illumos). This should also make the step easier to compare and test different scenarios where BSD provides a different behavior compared to Linux systems.
Thanks to @gyptazy for the implementation!

Is there any great book on #AlpineLinux ? I love the concept, and love the considerations of the operating system. Yet, I usually opt for #Debian since I am much more familiar with it. It would be great to change that in the mid-term.
