On 2021-09-04T12:37Z, I installed Fedora Linux on an Asus laptop. That is pretty much the start of my server adventures.
That date comes from `dnf history`. It keeps track of packages you install, uninstall, or whatever. It also pretty much never purges the history, so you pretty much always have the first package management thing in your history, which is probably the first time you installed Fedora Linux.
In my initial server setup, I was interested in matrix synapse. Then eventually I found Mastodon, more things (calendars, PeerTube, etc.), and a lot more things happened since then.
And today, I have 2 computers which pretty much monitor each other (both computers run on the same internet and power lines, so it's not necessarily redundant). I have a crap ton of subdomains with a bunch of crap as well, and questionable infrastructure (status. subdomain has "redundancy" if you use Tor Onions).

Recently, I had downtime. For some reason, the internet connection just died, and then later came back. I didn't do anything on my side for that to be fixed.

However, with the internet connection being interrupted then resumed, I uncovered a bug in Out of your Element where it would just tie up all the RAM and swap trying to connect to Discord or something. It was weird.
On the note of running new things, I've got a new thing:
https://wiki.jacksonchen666.com/
It's a wiki where I dump my knowledge. I do feel as though a wiki is much more frictionless than having to deal with the publishing mess that is my website (having to use git for a website with blog posts is not the best thing).
I've already gotten a few pages up written.
The goal of the wiki isn't to replace Wikipedia or anything like that, actually. It's usually for when I suddenly recall something, and want it to be written down somewhere in a quick notice.
Blog posts though, I will probably continue writing them if I feel that's appropriate. Just know that I don't plan to do the 100 days to offload challenge anymore (it was kind of hell when I tried (and succeeded)), so there shouldn't be much of a blog post spam this year.
Yes, I check the things I link. I also do stuff about links when a URL I linked is dead.
I've recently done a check after the extended downtime of sourcehut and probably after a while too.
