Following previous post where using M720q as a desktop machine was considered not that good, someone on the Fediverse pointed me to the AMD versions of ThinkCentre. Having noticed that ATI/AMD/Radeon GPU do seem to work pretty well on OpenBSD, I got a refurbished ThinkCentre M715q and had a look at it.

Özgür Konstantin Kazanççı shares the latest improvements to jstats, his FreeBSD jail resource monitor, and introduces MariAdmin, a simple terminal menu for managing MariaDB/MySQL databases and users. He also presents openbsd-setup-ovh, a script that prepares a Debian or Ubuntu VPS to boot the OpenBSD installer through GRUB, with BIOS and UEFI support. The article includes console examples and his experience running OpenBSD on an OVHcloud VPS-4 from the 2027 range, with both IPv4 and IPv6 working successfully.

Thanks to being subscribed to self-hosting and homelab feeds, I yet again was trapped by compulsive buying and collector’s impulse while browsing the local refurb marketplaces. This may end now. Until then, here’s a quick look at ThinkCentre M710q and M720q on various BSD systems.

⇒ Running your own mail server with OpenBSD and OpenSMTPD

Self-hosting your own services such as a blog, website, or email is a valuable skill. It gives you a better understanding in the technology and usually also fun to do. With privacy under pressure and Big Tech continuing to store our data, this might be a good time to host your own mail server.

My personal observation is that this graph should not be a line but a circle. Starting with moderates and branching off as before, but both sides ending up at absolute totalitarianism regardless of which side you take.
@tomaoki your model is correct and on my graph the ideals would be located at the 90 degree and 270 degree positions with anarchy at the 135 and 225 positions.

Exactly. I was part of my Computing Society at university; it was a great way to meet, learn, and share. I haven't attended a LUG/BUG in years... I miss being part of a 3rd place for Unix nerds and am up to try and steward a group.
