Thanks to SeaweedFS, I've set up two replicas of the BSD Cafe's media. One is on a backup server (for disaster recovery purposes only, also containing the hourly zfs-autobackup backups), and the other is on a Raspberry Pi 4 running FreeBSD, which is one of my home backup servers - just one meter away from my desk.
I've also configured Nginx in a jail, so when I'm at home, the BSD Cafe's media is served directly from the local replica.
The performance is lightning fast.

After conducting some performance tests, I believe #SeaweedFS will be the new S3-compatible software for BSD Cafe media storage. The results have been promising
There's a lot talk about "ZeroDisk" infrastructure backed by S3. The pitch is "move your data from locally attached NVMe storage to S3 and your applications will scale easier and be more performant!"
Maybe I'm getting too old for this shit, but I swear to dog this is the 4th such cycle in my career:
1. NFS
2. iSCSI / Fibrechannel
3. Hadoop / HDFS
4. ZeroDisk with S3
Am I the only one that's like: "wait, move TBs of data to S3 from NVMe to increase performance? Are you high?"
It doesn't work, so you scale up. Now you're back to local NVMe "cache disks" running instances as expensive as the locally attached NVMe instances when you add those costs to your S3 bill. The performance is worse because of course it is.
It always comes back to the two hard problems in computer science: naming things, cache invalidation, and off-by-one errors. 
OK, Minio has decided to drop all the useful GUI features from the open-source (CE) version, making them exclusive to the paid version. More, they'll only provide "security fixes for severe issues" and no new features/development.
Personally, I prefer software that doesn't offer a certain feature at all, rather than one that, at some point, removes it and reserves it for "paying" customers.
It almost feels like a betrayal, in my eyes.
It's probably time to move the #BSDCafe media over to Garage or Seaweedfs.

Mein neuer Blog-Artikel ist online!
Ich zeige, wie Du Mastodon-Medieninhalte flexibel und einfach mit dem S3-kompatiblen Hetzner Object Storage in die Cloud auslagerst, inkl. Migration, Nginx-Konfiguration und Backup mit Synology DiskStation.
Ideal für alle, die mehr Skalierbarkeit und Unabhängigkeit wollen.

abshoff.devMastodon und Hetzner Object StorageSeit 2022 betreibe ich meine eigene Mastodon-Instanz auf einem Hetzner Cloud-Server. Um die Medieninhalte unabhängig vom Dateisystem des Servers zu halten, habe ich mich entschieden, den S3-kompatiblen Hetzner Object Storage als Objektspeicher zu nutzen. Dieser Artikel zeigt Dir, wie Du den Dienst einrichtest und welche Gedanken ich mir dazu gemacht habe.

Great to hear that, @hetzner!
And it even works perfectly with Mastodon, as I show in my latest blog article: https://abshoff.dev/blog/2025/07/25/mastodon-und-hetzner-object-storage/

Ok #mastoadmin #selfhost #S3 aficionados. I don’t have any experience with object storage providers. I am looking to move my self-host mastodon account here from local storage on my 2007 #footimac to my account at leaseweb. Could you help me with the answers to their queries? I suggested, completely off the top of my head and without experience, i would need 1.5TB and low bandwidth. Not knowing if that makes any sense.
“ for a 1.5 TB provision with low bandwidth usage, we can provide an estimate once we have more context on access patterns, regions, and any specific requirements.”
Amazon #S3 now supports sort and z-order compaction for #ApacheIceberg tables, promising reduced scan times & lower engine costs.
Available for both S3 Tables and traditional S3 buckets via AWS Glue Data Catalog optimization.

I don't know if anybody noticed #ZeroFS yet, but it seems there is a completely user space-implementation of #NFS and #blockstorage on top of #S3 #objectstorage: https://github.com/Barre/zerofs
Including a demo running #ZFS on top of it which essentially allows geo-redundant ZFS volumes: https://asciinema.org/a/728234 & https://github.com/Barre/zerofs?tab=readme-ov-file#geo-distributed-storage-with-zfs
I don't see no #FreeBSD port yet, but if that really works it would be absolutely awesome.

I think I might need to switch my #selfhost at some point unless I go out and buy a big harddrive.
