Now that I have my first company computer since before COVID, my use of Linux and BSD will be more extracurricular.

On Friday I kept the personal laptop running OpenBSD all day because it's better behaved when it comes to reliably suspending and resuming.

Again, if you haven't run OpenBSD on the desktop in years, things have come a very long way.

@vwbusguy I haven't looked at Nextcloud in a long time. I'm looking at what is involved. I already use Syncthing for file sync, but that doesn't have a web interface. This could be a fun thing to play with on the Raspberry Pi 4B

@vwbusguy I can't find recommended specs for . I did see something about SD cards not being recommended for storage, which I totally understand. My current Pi server uses a USB flash drive for storage, but I'm not against using a regular USB drive (spinning or SSD).

@vwbusguy It's so easy to set the RPi 4B to boot from USB. My brief experience with FreeBSD booting from USB wasn't great, but I don't think USB had anything to do with it. I need to set up a Raspberry Pi OS system on USB and give that a go.
