thanks for the good read.
I used Amsterdam BSD two years back to scratch my itch. It was a no nonsense, perhaps perfect way to try out OpenBSD.
The thing keeping me from using OpenBSD/FreeBSD on my new production app is I don't know what kinds of issues I may run into compared to Debian stable on a fairly beefy dedicated server.
My new app has dependancies:
a) http reverse proxy. No problem
b) Java 21 / Clojure 1.12. JDK 21 virtual threads is a must. Unclear what level of support/quality can be expected on OpenBSD or FreeBSD.
c) Postgres 17 (TimeScale)
