+.Dt THIS-SERVER 7
+.Os "Ben's Space"
+.
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm this server
+.Nd where the hell are we
+.
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+I've finally got myself a real place on The Internet!
+I've got an IP address and everything.
+So, all the things you need a server to do I can now do.
+.
+.Ss HTTP(s)
+The website itself is served by OpenBSD httpd,
+and everything
+.Pq except /cgi-bin/*
+is static.
+That's right, ...
+.
+.Ss Stagit
+.Lk git.bvnf.space
+is generated using
+.Xr stagit 1 .
+I learnt how to do this from a number of sources:
+.Bl -compact
+.It
+.Lk https://dilyn.cc/blog/Server-Git
+.It
+.Lk https://git-bruh.duckdns.org/self-hosting-git.html
+.El
+.Pp
+You can also anonymously clone the repos, which is powered by
+.Xr git-daemon 1 .
+.
+.Ss /cgi-bin/*
+As mentioned above, there is some cgi going on
+.Po
+well, currently only
+.Lk /cgi-bin/up
+and whatever
+.Lk /cgi-bin/a.out
+is at the moment
+.Pc
+and I'm interested in writing more down this alleyway.
+Forget LAMP, use
+.Lk https://learnbchs.org BCHS
+.
+.Ss IRC
+I'm running
+.Xr pounce 1
+so that I can keep connected to the one channel I'm interested in.
+.
+.Ss Xr catsitd 8
+To look after
+.Xr pounce 1 .
+.
+.Ss XMPP
+.Xr prosody 8
+is running, but I don't use XMPP much. yet. (at all).
+What? I can put what I like on here.
+.
+.Ss DigitalOcean
+This server is running OpenBSD, hosted on a DigitalOcean VPS.
+DigitalOcean doesn't actually have OpenBSD as an option, so to install it I did the following:
+.Bl -bullet
+.It
+Choose any operating system to begin with - it doesn't matter what; I chose FreeBSD.
+.It
+Turn it off, then from the droplet's control panel, go to Recovery and choose
+.Qq Boot from Recovery ISO
+, and reboot.
+.It
+Using the web-view console, select option 6 for a recovery shell.
+.Pp
+Now you've got the equivalent of a live usb environment.
+.It
+Download the OpenBSD minirootXX.fs,
+.Xr dd 1
+it to the harddisk,
+then reboot into it normally and follow the instructions.
+.It
+Easy!
+.El
+.Pp
+If you want, you can use
+.Lk https://m.do.co/c/6c97af319d64 "my DigitalOcean referral link" .
+.
+.Ss A blog?
+Finally, I might now actually write a Blog, which is something I've been
+wanting to do for a while.
+This
+.Pq first
+post is written a la
+.Lk causal.agency
+style; produced from
+.Xr mdoc 7
+source available from
+.Lk https://git.bvnf.space/site/
+\&.
