Blog ran on Ubuntu 16.04 for 10 years. I migrated it to FreeBSD | Hacker News

A blogger moved a long-running personal site from Ubuntu 16.04 to FreeBSD after a decade on Ubuntu.

They found FreeBSD harder than expected for PM2, rc.d logging, and manual firewall setup.

The post then weighed whether to keep using FreeBSD or return to a more familiar long-support Linux setup.

It also compared low-maintenance VPS hosting with static hosting options like Hugo, GitHub Pages, S3, and CloudFront.
