Once a network operator at AS20621, I discovered my passion for #FreeBSD and #illumos. Today, I focus on #DevOps and development in Python and Rust, contributing to #Ansible, #Proxmox, #PegaProx, #Debian and #GardenLinux. My current journey explores the future of computing with #RISCV, testing it both in evaluation and production. Projects: #BoxyBSD.com: A free VM hosting service to provide some value back to the community. #ProxLB: (Re)Balance your CTs/VMs across your nodes in your Proxmox cluster. ProxLB is a dynamic resource scheduler for Proxmox which rebalances objects to other nodes in cluster based on CPU, memory or disk resources. #manpageblog: A static blog generator in manpage design, written in Python.
A selfhosting, homelab sort of nerd with a penchant for photography and upcycling older hardware with the wrong OS https://flipboard.com/@DavidField2026
I'm Chris. I complain. A lot. About everything. I also tell jokes.

IT Consultant from Germany, Linux enthusiast, BSD fanboy and firmly convinced that Ancient Domains of Mystery is the greatest video game of all time (and always will be). You'll find me here talking about Open Source, self-hosting, advanced networking (proud operator of AS201379), smart home shenanigans, and anything you can torment with a terminal. Cat pictures also welcome. Left, antifascist, vegan. The trifecta your uncle warned you about.
I wrote up my entire backup strategy for my across FreeBSD and Linux:
- ZFS snapshots with sanoid
- Off-site replication via syncoid to rsync.net (encrypted at rest)
- Proxmox Backup Server fronting Backblaze B2 for VMs
- A Podman trick for backing up RHEL hosts without native packages
- Dead man’s switch monitoring
- Quarterly restore tests recorded with asciinema
Real configs included.
