  Using DRM to pry privacy out of this clusterfuck is chef’s kiss

  Secrets go in Keepass.

  For server configs, a LibreOffice Writer file per machine (except for RPs, I only have one for those), written as a didactic manual explaining how to install and configure everything (I work on bare metal still). I started that way since diving into self-hosting was also a way to learn Linux, Sys-Admin and web-hosting. I don’t do anything without updating the relevant chapters, or creating new ones. Not gonna lie: it’s tedious. But also a life-saver, and the rationals for my choices remain available years later, which is priceless in many ways.

  Once upon a time I had neat network gear running, and I mostly YOLO-ed the doc for those, relying instead on the firmware/config backups. I had to put those devices away, but when I finally get to play with them again, I’m going to suffer re-learning and re-discovering everything.

  Recently, I got to hack and old console, and just did a chronological log-file with actions taken and URLs to guides, instead of writing down everything myself. It got me thinking I might add a simple log-file to track my actions, on top of my usual guides.

  Or not. Having a life is nice too 😅
