Quicknote capture 24 November 2023
Friday, 24 November 2023Big mixture of stuff in this one. It coincides with a month of removing an old faithful VPS that managed a number of essential services (Minecraft, matrix, syncthing, taskd, etc), and setting up a LAN server to replace it. So a bit of networking, privacy and whatnot thrown in. And John Ashbery, who in this picture wears great glasses.
