Still  in  the process of migrating my server to OpenBSD. Rented a new
 VPS.

 My provider allows me to upload my own QCOW2 images. This means I  can
 prepare a basic system *on my workstation* and then have it running on
 the internet.

 This is sooooooooooooooooooooooo nice. Installing your  own  operating
 system  on  rented  servers  used to be a huge pain. Just uploading an
 image, however, is incredibly easy.
