i really really hope Hetzner can get their shit together here because this is a fucking pain to even think about. I got shit to do ya know.
every BOFH thinks they could do their own AWS with gaffer tape and paperclips. i actually thought "oh i could just" and then had to whack myself on the head with a newspaper and say NO
i have not the time any more for Some Guy LLC and especially not for being Some Guy LLC, there is good reason to go with the inhuman corporate behemoth and it's because i'm tiiiiired
you will always need your bofh skills in good order and a bugout bag of last night's fresh backups to hand, but given that one can camp out on Inhuman Corporate Behemoth for years
there's comp sci experiments and then there's services, but services are work and if i wanted to work i'd get a job
@dgerard @froztbyte I always tell people that the reason so many systems nerds (I don't use BOFH any more as that's.. not really an attitude I like identifying with, it hasn't aged well) use Macs. It's because once you get back from work, frankly, the LAST thing you want to do is system administration on your home machine and OS X is just *nix enough.
