  • Filled in the survey. A few notes:

    • Some of my answers make no sense on the surface - like the “experiment with new technology” block (4 questions). I’ve answered “Agree” to all of them, because I have taken time into account, which is not represented on the questions. Long story short - I do love experimenting with new tech, I’m almost always the first one to try something among my peers, but at the same I never blindly jump in (I’m hesitant) as most of the “new technology” is just
      • Someone repackaging foss and relabeling it
      • Some LLM bullshit
      • An inferior product to what already exists

    There are also scenarios where I have already found something that’s the best solution for my case, so I won’t even bother looking at something new, even if it might be the best thing since sliced bread for someone else.

    • TIme and effort setting up/maintaining (4 questions). It doesn’t take much time nor effort to set anything up now, but it did when I was starting out initially. I knew very little and a bunch of concepts hadn’t clicked, yet, so it took me days to set up Nextcloud and about half a year (on and off. Probably a week or so if it were all squeezed together) for email.

    • The performance and intent to use in the future questions are weird - they feel like the same question, just leveling off in intensity. I’ve selected the same answer for all of them. They probably should’ve been a single question with agree/disagree options swapped for intensity levels.

    Good luck with your PhD!











  • Majority of openrc/hardened/selinux binhost setup is done, need to figure out the small things.

    Lemmy was also giving a bit of a headache, fiddled with limits some more.

    I’m fairly certain there’s been an attempt to play with some opnsense config, but there was only time to install the updates. Or maybe this was last week 🤔
