Silver: idk why but every so often my brain becomes briefly convinced i need to have my own personal server and run some flavor of bsd on it and use that for my web hosting problems

Silver: like brain. we have not even installed the most basic baby version of linux on fucking anything. why are we like this

Silver: i mean it would be nice to not have to pay for webhosting and just pay for my domain which gets pointed at a server on our network but like. i am far too stupid and scared of software to do anything like that lol i would probably die the first minor problem i encounter

Silver: and yet my brain finds weird server OSes to be fascinating

Silver: i love openbsd and my brain wants to run it on something and i have to keep telling myself THAT IS NOT FOR BEGINNER USERS OF ANYTHING IT IS A PAIN IN THE ASS OS MEANT FOR PEOPLE WHO REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING

Silver: also an absolutely fantastic OS for servers, wretched and hellish to use for anything else

Silver: apparently lol

Silver: though i do follow some mind-boggling people on mastodon who use it as a desktop OS...

Silver: there is something wrong with me i think though lmao knowing these people makes me wish i was that insane. i too want to be some fucked up dude who runs a server OS for my desktop

Silver: why? not even i know why

Silver: like i am web searching for how to install freebsd to a server like this is something i will ever do and that i will definitely not cry the first time anything i even slightly don't like happens

Silver: this is what happens when i let the brain weasels win.
