• Darko Mesaroš is hosting a website on a 25-year-old 2021 Sun Netra X1 SPARC server running OpenBSD 7.8. • The setup includes: Noctua fan mods for quiet operation, httpd serving static HTML/CSS, OpenBSD’s pf firewall with default-deny rules, and Cloudflare tunnels to expose it safely without port forwarding. • The server pulls ~55MB of RAM and serves pages from my garage. • Oh, and I did some HDD archeology, it seems this is a decommissioned server from Ford (the car company). • I am not sure what it used to do, but the disks were obviously not wiped. • Rest assured, the data is gone and both drives were formatted by me.
