When there are multiple small, reasonable requests, the sum of those become unreasonable.

Writing an end year review of my own performance is reasonable. So is writing one for my colleague. So is writing one for my manager. And writing a proposal of the promotion of a colleague. And so is writing OKRs for next quarter.

The individual processes are realistic in themselves. But put together they take up too much energy.

Feb 22 2023 - ServerSide Includes

This site is mostly built using Server Side Includes. I don't plan on spending too much time on this. And just want something that works. And loads fast.

Feb 22 2023 | Migrating To New Server, Part 4

I still need to fix ssl certs for the gitlab registry. *grin* LXD/LXC is kinda working. A pox on snapd though. Making things more complicated than it needs to be.
