@mwl I heavily considered the pros and cons of running a Vultr cloud VM, from an entirely bespoke image managed with Ansible, versus a dedicated albeit pre-fab OpenBSD VM from @OpenBSDAms. The costs were about the same and, ultimately, I decided to try OpenBSDAMS for a bit.

Best $70-ish bucks I spent that year. Hands down.

@OpenBSDAms @xenotrope

Sadly, I install random OS with random options, over and over again... you're more a production provider.

@OpenBSDAms @mwl @xenotrope How much is the hardware? The resources on your front page listed at $67 / year would be more than enough for me, but I don't have anyone who can work with OpenBSD, unfortunately.

@mwl Not to bash @OpenBSDAms at all, they seem quite good, but what about running Proxmox or ESXi on bare metal at <pick your <60msec-latency provider> ? Can confirm OpenBSD and FreeBSD are both content as guests nowadays.

There used to be a VPS provider in California that supported OpenBSD, can't remember their name right now.
