Zdravstvuyte*
Hello!
Finally starting to get this thing set up us the bomb.
Things to do:
- get better wp theme
- other things
and that is a **non-exhaustive list of things to do.
It’s been a few years since being active in the *nix world so despite many years of experience with various GNU/Linux systems I’m a bit rusty with the cli stuff. Partly due to forgetting the finer points of shell commands like one-liners with cat, grep, awk and friends, partly due to systemd making almost everything I previously knew about server admin obsolete and partly due to simply being out of the loop.
Had this laptop sitting on my desk for a while not doing much of anything so decided to host some VMs on it and see what happens. Got a nice VPS running at the moment, soon to get a lot nicer. Might even start developing a Linux-from-scratch system again though probably based on Debian rather than Slackware this time around. Nothing against Slackware, I still consider Slack 8.1 the cleanest, best OS of all time but I’ve been spoiled by apt(8) et al.
Looking forward to getting back into this. Fun to have something to tinker with again.
*One may note the transliteration of “й” to “y” here and to “i” elsewhere. Apparently both are valid but google seems to think “zdravstvuyte” is more common than “zdravstvuite”. The more you know!
**If you’re wondering how this list could be “non-exhaustive” when it concludes with the non-terminating catch-all “other things” which, to a rational mind, would seem in-and-of itself exhaustive, note that it does not include “other other things”, etc. ad infinitum. Thank you for your time.
*This one is not actually a footnote, just a wildcard abbrev. for [Li]nux, [U]nix, etc., though I suppose technically not a proper wildcard considering it fails to match the “nux” part of “Linux”. Never noticed that before. Perhaps I should have put *n?x
Actually, I guess it is a footnote now, but it wasn’t intended that way.
