So I am in a vicious cycle. I start doing something, notice there is a better way, change my setup and restart. So from just Ubuntu server, I developed to proxmox. From documenting everything manuall in joplin, i am now using ansible. I started with wireguard, then tailscale with selfhosted headscale. I try to get my setup right on the first try, which i notice is stupid as I am writing. It just hinders me to make progress. I think I should rather try to get it up and running as fast as possible (and securely of cause) to make progress and fail fast maybe? And I like all the changes I made, I think they were the right choice, but its a bit tiering. And I like ansible, I just have the urge to automate absolutely everything, so I can redeploy everything right after I installed proxmox. Which is not necessary at all at this stage, idk :D Maybe someone has some tips how to overcome perfectionism?

For me, tinkering is part of the process and I’m enjoying it. Deciding to do something differently and changing a lot of stuff every now and then is fine. What’s annoying is if you are in the middle of such a process and then run out of (free) time. Next time I look at it I forgot half of it if it’s not finished and documented.
