Just confirmed with #Hetzner support that they have no plans to support #FreeBSD on their #arm64 cloud instances. Once again, #Linux continues to accelerate towards a server OS monoculture. Anyone know of affordable alternatives that do support this?

@selea @ptribble From this article it’s not at all clear to me what this Tribblix even is, why I would use it, what it does and how this applies to my situation. Maybe it’s just me or it’s to late but it appears to assume quite a bit of information on the reader’s part.

@selea @ptribble How does this help me find an affordable arm64 cloud instance and run FreeBSD on it?

@herrbischoff Sorry, it was an answer to the Linux monoculture problem
