I'm just going to be vulnerable for a minute here. I met the first person in real life who had similar server-y linux-y obsessions to me and we'd send eBay links of systems to drool over to eachother. They ended up being a terrible person but hid it from me pretty well until they couldn't anymore and now I no longer have someone to chat with about those things.

So um, I guess I'm open for applications for the position of "nerdy friend who I nerd too hard with about network infrastructure and Linux packages" now

I had a similar, we'd kept an IRC channel open for years, then he went off the deep end with conspiracies and I cut contact. I miss my friend but that friend was a chill software geek, not the rage addicted lunatic who took his place.

How nerdy you talking? Because I was tempted to get this, then I saw the price. https://shop.telegeography.com/products/2023-submarine-cable-map-free-shipping

True friendship is indeed to trade ssh keys.

What kind of hardware are we talking about here. Tiny boxes, big boxes? Disks, networking?

It sucks but make sure to remove every means of potential attacks

Brutal. However, there's plenty of us who fit that bill here, I'm sure.
