Yeah, Alpine's good, though I would do some additional investigation into the integrity of your hardware if kernel devs (?) are telling you it's your harddrive failing (maybe your device supports SMART?)

It was suggestions from the subreddit and irc that it's probably a harddrive failure. The kernel devs wanted some more details, but at that point I had already deleted OpenBSD and gone back to Alpine. I might give it a spin again later and if the error happens, I'll be sure to include the full panic report.

Thanks for suggesting smart, I gave it a spin and it seems the harddrive is healthy?

$ doas smartctl -H /dev/nvme0n1
=== START OF SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED

My new suspicion is that I did something funky with the kernel parameters and fstab to try and speed up the system which made it panic.

EDIT: Welp, the issue was with the RAM. Now that's replaced, all is well.
