⚠️ News/Changes:
BoxyBSD will bring in a feature for more advanced users for our free boxes. Instead of only selecting a set of pre-defined BSD based images, you'll soon also be able to create your install simply from scratch with full remote access to your box. This lets you perform custom installations of #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD but also of some other niche systems like #illumos
Unfortunately, this might still take some time and fully relies on the spare time of @gyptazy.

1/3 of FOSS maintainers are unpaid, 1/3 are the only maintainer of their #opensource project, and almost 75% of surveyed #FOSS projects are maintained by 3 people or less
Is an #EU wide Sovereign Tech Fund the solution? Yes, with pitfalls:
