The old CPUs still worked. They just couldn't do the virtualization I wanted. So srv02 got new silicon.

I love OpenBSD. I still moved my firewall to OPNsense. Here's the honest account of why.

Configuring OpenBSD pf.conf with VLAN segmentation — separating servers, desktop, IoT, and game traffic with sensible firewall rules.

The site is up. A single Go binary on FreeBSD, serving blog posts, a status page, a hire page, and an admin panel — no database, no Docker, no external dependencies.

A tour of the physical hardware — SuperMicro 1U firewall, Dell R720 primary server, Dell R710 secondary, and the desktop control node.

The case for running FreeBSD as the foundation of a homelab — ZFS, jails, pf, clean base system, and the value of good documentation.
