I needed to have a simple webserver for my home network and was not interested in trying to setup Apache. (I’ve done it before, not keen to do it again.) It’s helpful to have read-only access to files that I want to view, not necessarily need to copy wherever I’m working.

I repurposed an old laptop that was sitting around and have become delighted with the results. It was a cheap number from 2020 that never ran Windows very well.
My biggest disappointment when starting out was that I couldn’t get FreeBSD to run a USB stick. Even though it’s been 20+ years since I’ve used it regularly it’s still my favorite flavor of Unix. Maybe I’ll install it if I ever get an extra computer. (Like bicycles, the solution is always n+1.)
