After 3 Years
Filed under: Still doing well, even better
hree quarters of this year are gone and it’ll soon be 3 years since I last rebooted my laptop (uptime right now is 1,022 days). That more or less (almost) marks 3 years since the change in our life and, more important still, life’s priorities.
Back in 2022 we knew something was wrong, aside from COVID-19. We made a decision to make big changes and we finally made them in October. That same year I wrote here in this blog about it. I still remember that.
I slept 7 hours this past night, a bit more than the usual, with the aim being on top of things, not tired. I need to keep running many things for a community of ardent, courageous volunteers. It takes energy and care.
Last night we made it to the front page of Hacker News and the Techrights site could cope with the traffic.
The thing about self-hosting is, not all parties are equal. Setting up one’s environment is one thing, whereas keeping it running for decades takes focus, not jumping from one idea to the next every month or so (like so many devs do).
Techrights turns 20 soon.
