Did you have any exposure in Linux before eventually switching, or did you just step straight from the Windows world into the great Linux unknown?

Windows 3.1 has a bit of a fond spot in my heart. Even though we didn’t have 3.1 at home, the school computer lab used it. We used to scare the teacher by typing “dir stat” or something like that into the terminal to make the text scroll like we were hacking stuff in a movie 🤣 (she didn’t know anything about computers, just there to make sure we didn’t run off with them). I also recall those colorful all-in-one Macintosh computers making an appearance at a different school.

I’m a year or so longer on my self-hosting journey than you, but also get humbled like a noob on a regular basis. I was a Linux user for over a decade when I first started self-hosting but I knew nothing about networking because I always lived places where someone else managed the internet. I’ve learned a lot since then, but I have a lot left to learn. It really does take time to get a comprehensive understanding of what you are doing and why, but the good news is you can learn a lot through osmosis and we are already doing it just by being here.

I think “$hell-shocked” might work.

'Muricans are so racist, we heard “orange chicken” and thought they were talking about China. 🤣

I see that now. I must have missed it in my excitement. Thanks!

Does this have a heat overlay? As in, can I see which routes I take most commonly my filtering and overlaying a years worth of data? That’s the only thing that’s kept me on Strava. I know there are a few open source tools, but nothing has looked this complete for me. This looks super cool.
