# Switching to FreeBSD 14.2
_Published 2025-02-26_
Brief update from [previous][1]: the website is now being hosted on
FreeBSD 14.2 (RELEASE) and Nginx (1.26+), instead of NetBSD 10.1 and
Caddy (v2.9.1). Here's [the dmesg][2]
Why make such a change? I finally got to test the network and hardware
performance of my system against a worth opponent (thanks, Ben) and
found the server lacking. FreeBSD has received a lot of Netflix
contributions to directly improve x86_64 performance, so, it stands to
reason that FreeBSD will do better and be a bit more consistent.
Don't get me wrong, I love NetBSD and found it very clean, simple, and
fully understandable, but I went off the deep end with packages and had
too many ongoing performance quirks to *not* spend the time upgrading
and fixing it.
