Hosting a my small static websites, I wonder if my roughly 40MBit uplink with a static IP is good enough to host it.

First few weeks of using a #nebula overlay network for my machines and working across a few different locations. I nearly forgot about the "how to reach this machine" or "where is that machine" questions.

Observing in some cases that machines take long to be reachable, not yet sure why this is.

Finally took the time to start using #homemanager from the #nixos ecosystem.

It replaces my old handcrafted #nix setup from the early days.

yeah - #nixosanywhere . When you have it all figured out already for your needs / preferences. Then it is just too nice to be true.

Using existing building blocks from some other machines I did set up recently made it this time a snap to get started.

Next di.day is soon, working on a fresh installation of #nixos #linux on a new machine which will hopefully become my new workplace.

Scaling down has a massive impact on the dev loop: Using #forgejo in dev deployments instead of #gitlab makes a cycle of teardown and bootstrap quick and snappy.

This should inform decisions about how we make software. Small and lightweight is not easy to achieve, yet it does pay back in being able to do more with the same amount of effort.
