+  <h1>About</h1>
+</div>
+
+<div class="prose">
+  <p>
+    Ridgway Systems is a personal homelab project built entirely on OpenBSD. The goal is to self-host
+    as many services as practical on owned hardware, with a focus on simplicity, security, and
+    understanding every layer of the stack.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    This site documents the build — hardware choices, configuration decisions, and things learned
+    along the way. If you're setting up your own homelab or migrating to OpenBSD, hopefully something
+    here is useful.
+  </p>
+
+  <h2>Why OpenBSD?</h2>
+  <ul>
+    <li>Security-first design. <code>pledge(2)</code> and <code>unveil(2)</code> are excellent.</li>
+    <li>Clean, minimal base system. No surprises.</li>
+    <li><code>pf(4)</code> is the best firewall I've used.</li>
+    <li>Documentation is thorough and accurate. The man pages are genuinely good.</li>
+    <li>Deliberate, careful development. The OpenBSD team doesn't chase hype.</li>
+  </ul>
+
+  <h2>What's Running</h2>
+  <p>
+    See the <a href="/infrastructure">infrastructure page</a> for the full hardware and service list.
+    Briefly: a SuperMicro 1U as the firewall/router, a Dell R720 as the primary server, and a
+    Dell R710 for backup and game servers. Everything is managed with Ansible.
+  </p>
+
+  <h2>Can I see the Ansible playbooks?</h2>
+  <p>
+    Eventually. The playbooks are on the <a href="https://git.ridgwaysystems.org">Gitea instance</a>
+    (private for now while things are in flux). Plan is to open them up once they're in a state
+    I'm not embarrassed by.
