Running our Web Dev and IT Consulting business with a focus on hand written, non-AI services. The point isnt to stick it to AI or because we hate LLM's, the point is to focus on efficiency, modularity, and make sure our clients projects are as efficent, speedy, well documented, and as de-bloated as possible. We run on our own local bare metal and try to tailor every aspect of what goes into hosting a site by focusing on speed and security as priority metrics above all else. https://opacitytech.com

Recently started a web design and IT consulting company called Opacity Tech with a simple goal, reasonable prices, and handwritten code. No AI agents writing bloated code, no template based site builders. Just real humans, writing real, optimized, fast code, using experience and knowledge, like the old days. Art used to be what we created with our hands, not what robots hallucinate for us. This from scratch attitude means we can charge less because we dont have to rent platforms or pay subscriptions for services or licenses. Real servers in house too, no cloud overlords.

Pretty poor OpSec in my opinion for a payment processor to fall prey to ransomware.

Why choose Free/OpenBSD instead of Debian, CentOS, or any other distro?

IDrac often demands that the PC connecting to it be on the same network however, an rkvm like this let's you skip the pc-in-the-middle step.

I just came to mention that I really enjoy the UI of this website. That is all.

The movie Idiocracy comes to mind almost every day for me as of late.
