The Illumos Cafe: Another Cozy Corner for OS Diversity
Introducing illumos Cafe: a community-run hub on illumos, inspired by BSD Cafe. Fediverse-ready (Mastodon, snac). Built for OS diversity, transparency, and positivity.

It shares the same spirit of positivity and inclusivity and aims to provide services running on illumos-based operating systems to demonstrate that there are no reasons not to use them. Media files are stored on an external physical server (running FreeBSD, the same one as the BSD Cafe, but in a dedicated jail) with SeaweedFS.
