Welcome
Greetings to my humblest of wikis. It exists simply to documents how things I did work so that I can debug or recreate them when needed, without having to figure out everything from scratch.
Alas, my memory for things I do quickly fades if I do not have to repeatedly come back to it. One-off setups that continue to work are the hardest to recreate down the line for me.
Operating systems
I run few operating systems at home and so finer details sometimes become fuzzy too.
Hardware
I have old hardware that supports this playground:
- T480 with 32 GB of RAM and intel core i7 (8th gen): main work machine
- T420 with 8 GB of RAM and intel core i5: running Void
- R61i with 2 GB of RAM and intel centrino: running OpenBSD
- Asus VivoBook X515EA with 24 GB of RAM and intel core i3: home server running FreeBSD
Besides that,0 I also run FreeBSD on a VPS for some services I want to be always on, such as my OpenSMTPD for sending mail, Prosody for XMPP chat, or cgit for hosting git repos (see).
Caveat Emptor
This wiki is NOT a guide but, as said above, documentation of solutions that apply to my setup on my operating systems. Although the things seem to work on the particular OS, I do not know what I do not know or what I might have missed or done wrong. Ergo: not a how-to, not universal, not comprehensive.
