I’m just going to be vulnerable for a minute here. I met the first person in real life who had similar server-y linux-y obsessions to me and we’d send eBay links of systems to drool over to eachother. They ended up being a terrible person but hid it from me pretty well until they couldn’t anymore and now I no longer have someone to chat with about those things.
So um, I guess I’m open for applications for the position of “nerdy friend who I nerd too hard with about network infrastructure and Linux packages” now

It was just access to a VPS we had a couple of minor things running on so nothing too big, but still its a very real action that says “this is over” so hitting Ctrl+O then Ctrl+X was pretty heavy
You don’t use vim? I do not see how anyone could be friends with you.
jk, of course.
Yeah, :wq! Hits a lot harder than a Ctrl+x and Ctrl+o
I had a similar, we’d kept an IRC channel open for years, then he went off the deep end with conspiracies and I cut contact. I miss my friend but that friend was a chill software geek, not the rage addicted lunatic who took his place.
True friendship is indeed to trade ssh keys.
What kind of hardware are we talking about here. Tiny boxes, big boxes? Disks, networking?
There is no other place like 127.0.0.1
::1 is a compelling alternative
::1 and the same?
…ok that was a bad pun
It sucks but make sure to remove every means of potential attacks
How nerdy you talking? Because I was tempted to get this, then I saw the price. https://shop.telegeography.com/products/2023-submarine-cable-map-free-shipping
Brutal. However, there’s plenty of us who fit that bill here, I’m sure.
If you wanna chat, you can contact me on matrix (if i have it set up right): @jsnfwlr:matrix.home.phalacee.com
What made them so terrible?
