Happy (very late) second birthday to thejerks.club! It's been an incredibly uneventful year so thank goodness for that, as a result this will be a very short blog post. I've been very busy in life so I haven't been contributing to this blog as faithfully as I would like, but I have several (less than) half-completed posts in the works. OpenBSD continues to be the legitimately most stable operating system I have ever used and I continue to shill it to everyone I know. I attained an uptime of 177 days this year before I shut down the system to upgrade the operating system in early December.

On the XMPP front, I established an English-language Christian MUC since the pre-existing communities either had no moderator or were not English-language. Feel free to join us [here](xmpp:christianity@conference.jabber.hot-chilli.net).

#### Plans for the future
|
|
As for the action items I laid out last year, the only one I actually did was setting up certificate autorenewal. My website is now good to continue on into perpetuity assuming I keep paying for the domain renewal and my hardware doesn't die. This year I'll be working on the others - auto-shutoff when external power is lost. This isn't a hard task, I'm just too lazy to do it. The other major thing I have to get done is a logging interface which might take a decent bit more time. I've determined that the way in which I currently update my website is sufficient and I don't really care about separating my server from the rest of my network; the firewall rules are sufficient.

One useful thing that was recently brought to my attention is how incredibly cheap storage is. I have a couple of Raspberry Pis collecting dust and I was recently told about a RPI SATA shield that can make the RPI useful as a storage system. I will probably set up such a system this year as you can never have too much storage in this day and age.

Finally, I'd like to finally finish out md4tj, the static website generator written in ELisp that powers this blog and entire website. The main thing to accomplish on this front is writing a feature-rich major mode for .md4tj files. The rest is minor cosmetic details that involve me digging deep into the code for a notoriously "write-only" language.

#### Conclusion

Administering a server continues to be one of the most fun and easy undertakings one can do technologically (once you get past the setup phase). Here's to another year! |
