+abstract: this site is now running on FreeBSD!

+It's technical Sunday. I have three updates for you.
+
+### New domain
+
+Having a name/surname domain was getting on my nerves. Now it's based on my IRC nick (d-s). I really like the TLD ".sh," so that's a bonus.
+
+### BSD-powered
+
+Since I am already changing domains, why not go all out? I have been curious about BSD for some time. [A coworker](https://se30.xyz/),
+{{<img-pull-right "freebsd-beastie.png" "FreeBSD Bestie">}}
+[a blogger](https://rubenerd.com), and [another blogger](https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2020/09/07/quare-freebsd/) has sold me BSD. So why not run on a server? So starting today, this site is powered by [FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org/) running on [Vultr](https://www.vultr.com/?ref=9354158-8H). Spinning the service took 5 minutes, and having the site running on it another 30. I am sure there will be downtimes soon, as I have never used BSD before sans MacOS. But the first impressions are great! Everything is logical, and the documentation is as good as everyone said.
+
+And FreeBSD has the cutest mascot ever!
+
+If my current impressions don't change, I'll likely move from GNU/Linux.
+
+Now, the migration is still ongoing. There's still the git server and SEO to manage. But the first step is entirely done.
+
+### Sayonara Memes
+
+This was a failed experiment. I like words, and I feel no joy from updating the site. For now, it's removed from the top menu, but I'll phase it out entirely soon. I am the type of person who sends emails in plain text and disables graphics from Slack.
