Hello, hopefully I've found the right place for my rather general inquiry.
I have been running FreeBSD at home since the 1990s, and have not updated my desktop/home server hardware in around ten years. It is far past time.
My only "specialty" need is two network connections, so that I can run my home network. Otherwise, it's basically a desktop machine, so I need memory, storage....
Is there a standard recommendation for where to start for a basic system like this? I don't stay up to date on hardware at all, but unfortunately must do my own IT. I don't want to skimp on costs, but I also don't need anything special. Just something that's going to be rock solid for years, hopefully.
Thanks for suggestions.
