Laurent Cimon<p>I got tired of using Debian on my desktop. Frequent crashes and outdated software. So I installed <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenBSD</span></a> on a separate SSD and everything works. My only compromise is I need to use DRM-free media. I still use Debian for video games for the same reasons that a Linux user would keep Windows 10 years ago. But for schoolwork OpenBSD works perfectly fine, and I have plenty of music files and downloaded series. I had a few issues with my USB microphone and webcam but I fixed that easily.</p><p>I don’t know why I haven’t done this sooner, I’ve always imagined myself using FreeBSD on the desktop before OpenBSD because of the nostalgia, but the lack of 802.11ac support is problematic.</p>

It will be slowee but it's a boot drive on a server and will be for redundancy in any case.<br>- PSU: corsair sf600 600W sfx psu (or any sfx power supply of similar wattage depending on price)<br>- nic: solarflare dual 40Gbe infiniband nic (i don't remeber the exact model)<br>- maybe an external HBA if i choose to add a JBOD later on for additional Zdevs.<br>- an additional pciex16 slot spare if i need to paas a gpu through to a vm if required<br><br>software stack:<br>boot drives: raid 1 mirrored.<br>hard drives: zraid5 (4+1 parity in a single zdev)<br>host: </span><a href="https://spookygirl.boo/tags/NetBSD" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a><span> with a xen hypervisor.<br>- Guests: <br>° 2 * </span><a href="https://spookygirl.boo/tags/OpenBSD" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a><span> for public services<br>° 2 for personal services to avoid any real world identity leaks between professional and personal servers.
