FreeBSD on Hetzner Cloud

So I like weird, Linux is cool and everything, but I’ve always gravitated to FreeBSD for personal projects. I like the fact the FreeBSD team build the entire OS from the kernel to the userland tools. It’s cohesive as a system and the handbook is unlike any other resource for configuring an OS. (Ok maybe the ArchWiki comes close)

I’m also rather fond of NixOS so the similarity of chucking config settings into /etc/rc.conf is also cool.
