The Grapheion
Welcome to the Grapheion (τὸ γραφεῖον) which is, essentially, my blog containing ramblings about various topics! It is the less structured counterpart to the Bibliotheca which has my more polished writings as well as translations and other such texts – the Grapheion, on the other hand, can be seen as a sort of note- or perhaps sketchbook with texts that tend to be more rambly. In a sense, the Grapheion can be understood as being something akin to a workshop, whereas the Bibliotheca is the archive!

In this article, I will be going over how well using OpenBSD as a VM host works and what things to expect if you do end up doing this.
In this article I go through my first time installing OpenBSD on actual hardware in preparation for having it become a nice VM host!
Some more relayd and httpd improvements (finally a dedicated ACME server), some plans and a new PC!
After posting my setup on Mastodon, I got some helpful comments that allowed me to improve upon the config a bit, making it much nicer!
I decided to get a new OpenBSD-based VPS and migrate all my websites to OpenBSD. The VPS acts as a load balancer and webserver. Connected to the VPS via WireGuard is an OpenBSD VM in my apartment. The loadbalancer balances between the webserver on the VPS and the one I have running at home.

After having tried out OpenBSD and being very happy with it, I decided to also try out FreeBSD; but instead of using it as a server OS, I wanted to find out how viable it would be as a desktop OS!

Posted on: 19 Nov 2024 | Category: Technology
In this blog post I will be taking a quick look at Asahi Linux and my opinions on it so far. I have installed it on my base-model M1 MacBook Air and am planning of perhaps turning it into a very low-powered yet still powerful server.
