+### Back to OpenBSD
+
+I am re-building my modest cloud offering, away from the central server being an old Ubuntu 16.04 VPS on Digital Ocean, with supporting Debian VPs for reverse proxying, to using [OpenBSD](https://www.openbsd.org) and [FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org) as the key components. At this point, I really like [httpd](https://man.openbsd.org/httpd) in preference to [nginx](https://nginx.org/en/) whose much broader function-set and sprawling documentation puts me off.

+### VMWare Workstation Pro (May 2024)
A lot of people in the homelab/hacker space were no doubt excited to find out recently that VMWare Workstation Pro became free of charge.
It's not free/open source of course but in terms of performance, it is a lot better than [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/) which I never really took to anyway, and [KVM](https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Main_Page).
Just starting to set up a playground for my networking aspirations using FreeBSD and [Devuan](https://www.devuan.org/).
-### Moved back to Spotify
+### Moved back to Spotify (May 2024)
I'm generally wary of any kind of dependence on a cloud service but we tried [Amazon Prime Music Unlimited](https://www.amazon.co.uk/music/unlimited) recently when Spotify put their prices up.
A bit like with Django, sometimes you need to move away to realise how awesome the thing is you just left: Spotify's UI, music discovery, desktop and TUI application options and focus on music rather than trying to ram podcasts down your neck - is what was important.
