Consolidation and simplification

I’ve been doing a lot of consolidation and simplification in an effort to reduce the amount of brain I have to expend on various tasks and responsibilities. I think it’s working. Last week I wrote about Ansible for Tor Metrics. I’ve also been working on Ansible for my own stuff. Some of the things I’ve been working on include: consistent user account setup and synchronised SSH public keys consistent privilege escalation (doas on OpenBSD, sudo on Debian) all hosts are backed up via BackupPC all hosts are monitored in Nagios If you want to check out this stuff as it evolves, I’ve pushed it to git.

Continue as normal

I’m thinking to experiment with a loosely organised but perhaps more regular posting style. I’m going to post these under the tag “journal” because I think that will fit these quite well. We’ll see if I keep these up, or if this one ends up standing alone. For many people right now is a time of uncertainty, anxiety, fear and loss. For me though today was pretty much a normal day.
