So as you know I'm looking at repurposing an old Dell Optiplex 3080 tower as an #OpenBSD server. It's already got 32GB ram and a 1Tb NVME drive. I was thinking about adding some spinning rust for the data drive but I'm unsure whether to just add one hard drive as I'll be doing regular backups to NAS anyway. Or should I spend more purchasing two of the same drives for my usual RAID 1 setup like I did with my #FreeBSD server Beastie ?
Was looking at ways saving some £££ but maybe it's not a good idea ? It would eventually be hosting the following if possible. Snac instance, static website, git with cgit, Radicale, Syncthing and maybe a few more much much later.

Wow ! Today I learned that #OpenBSD now has #Wayback in it's ports.
> Wayback is a X11 compatibility layer which allows for running full X11
desktop environments using Wayland components. It is essentially a
stub compositor which provides just enough Wayland capabilities to
host a rootful Xwayland server.
OpenBSD Ports Readme: port wayland/wayback
I tell you what using #dillo to view your website certainly points out issues you never knew you had. This is going to be a great help to improve my site.
Just testing #dillo from my #snac instance and It is good but some things don't work as expected. For instance if I get a notification and then like it. The button does not change to unlike until I reload the page. Also my hacky back to the top of page links that work in other browsers do nothing in dillo. They are basically as below.
I also noticed that all the admin tabs at the top of the snac admin page are all open taking up screen real estate.
I'm not complaining merely poiting out some of my findings and there is probably good reason that I don't know about why these work they way they do.
