I get a summary once a week of all the updates. I then check the release notes and if nothing needs any changes just run the ansible playbook that updates to those releases. I don’t want to get up and first thing in the morning read alert emails because an update failed over night, so i sit down for 10 minutes once a week.

Honestly, wasps (the ones common where I live) are pretty chill, sure they always go in your face, but you can just gently wave in their general vicinity and they will avoid you. The only times when they are aggressive is in autumn.

Bash, not because its my favourite but because it’s nearly ubiquitous. I don’t want to have to think about which shell I’m using.

Went with lineage since I grew up on cyanogenmod.

Contabo is really cheap and has a few datacenters around the world. That low price comes at a cost though, their uptime is not as good as that of other providers. Expect about 3 outages a year, lasting about half an hour, maybe a day in extreme cases.

Didn’t really hop much, started with Windows, went on to OSX, got annoyed at it and ran Arch in a VM until I was comfortable with it, then went bare-metal with it.

Happy Arch user for some years now, though recently I’m using Fedora for work and I really like it. It’s not a good fit for some machines I’m running which need a lot of customisations to run properly.

It was built in the early 12th century.
