If you are like me and you have told your OS and/or browser that you prefer dark mode, you should be reading this here as light colored text on a dark background.
The theme I picked when I started this website did not support this out of the box, so I had to add it. Hopefully I didn’t miss anything. If I did and some content is now hard(er) to read, please let me know.
…Yesterday I was silly enough to try a kernel update on a ionos (US) hosted cloud server - without any backups, at 2 in the morning. As one might imagine, it did not go well and the server was dead.
On the positive side, there was not much in it and while looking thru the ionos admin panel to see what my options were for bringing it back online, ideally with an OS newer than Ubuntu 18.04 (/yes/) I noticed that I had reached the end of whatever promotion my contract was own. Paying $32 for a mostly unused server while I was on a US software engineering salary was one thing, paying $80 now that I am on a German salary is a whole other, so I cancelled the contract. The domains I had as part of the contract had lost all meaning to me, so I am not even sad I can’t move them over to DomainFactory to use later.
