Installing Debian on a server (Old laptop) first, so I can I can backup my files via rsync and finally update my main laptop to Debian Trixie.

My #Letsencrypt certificates auto-renewed (yay!) but did not propagate correctly to #Prosody (XMPP server), and #Slidge (Whatsapp-to-XMPP bridge) silently lost connection, meaning that I missed on roughly a week of family chat, only thinking "what a boring time of year".

I'll have to rethink this Rube Goldberg machine of message delivery.

Forgot to enable-linger on my NAS, download job I wanted to run over night just stopped when I logged out, feels like compiling-your-kernel-overnight-getting-stuck-10-minutes-in-after-you-went-to-bed-because-of-some-weird-kmenu-question all over again #90sKernelThings #FirstWorldProblems #JustAdminThings

Message Fatigue is really a thing. If you have a thing that produces a bunch of messages and logs to say everything went well, and you're monitoring a bunch of it, you're eventually going to mentally filter it out as "normal" and it just becomes noise.

it's much easier for the "omg everything is on fire" message to be lost in the noise then.

Unix has the right of it, if everything went well, say nothing, exit stage left with value 0.
