+I have replaced my old server with a new one.
+
+The old server was a raspberry pi 3B+. It did pretty well for several years, but it's quite slow and I want to explore running some more intensive workloads like [immich](https://immich.app/). I'm also just allowed to tinker and change things because it's my own server, I can do what I like :D 
+
+The new server is a lenovo thinkcentre; it has a core i5 processor and NVME disk, and it doesn't take up much more space than the raspi. Bought from eBay for £50, which is cheaper than an equivalent spec rasperry pi.
+
+I'm also switching operating systems. The raspi server was running Manjaro ARM. The new server is running OpenBSD.
+
+Several things are not yet working on the new server, like blog comments. I'll restore those over time.
