Got me an old but new-to-me AsRock A300 DeskMini PC with a Ryzen 2400G. Microsoft says "bah, too old for Windows 11" which is how I got it (traded my HP mini PC that is Win11 supported to a friend who needs Win11 for work-from-home).

What to do with it? Why, run #OpenBSD of course!! I'm thinking minimalist backup workstation with cwm or i3 and as little else as possible that isn't in base already.

Firefox is a given, but apart from it and its dependencies what else would I really need? Thoughts? Opinions? Hit me.

I just set up my first reverse proxy. Don't get too crazy — it was in the Caddy web server, where everything is easy.

I now have Caddy on my Raspberry Pi 4 Model B sending the traffic for one domain to a Raspberry Pi Zero W (also running Caddy).

Caddy makes this stuff easy.

I figured it out with this post:

And the server (which is just showing the Caddy default page) is:

After 7 years of constant use, my HP Envy 15 laptop died.

I ran a lot of Fedora and Debian, and lately OpenBSD on it.

I still have my 2012 HP Pavilion, now running Debian 11 with Xfce. It's not very pleasant to use. Slow, hot and the fan blows like crazy.

I'll be leaning on my desktop, a 2011 iMac 27-inch with Debian 12 GNOME. It was synced with the dead laptop, so all the files are on there. Gotta make my "office" neater.

I will be getting a company laptop. That means Windows.
