I have a server at home.
which means: if it breaks, everything disappears.
the most boring thing in the world
so I did the most boring thing there is: I set up a backup.
it's not interesting. I don't make speeches about it. once a day something runs, ends up somewhere encrypted, and I get a message saying all good.
that's it.
why
because otherwise I think about it.
and if I think about it I don't work. I built this thing to forget about it — which is a weird thing to say, but it works.
I hope I never open it
really. I hope the server keeps running for years without a hitch.
but if things go sideways tomorrow, I start over.
next time I'll tell you what's actually running on that server.
