I’ve been letting this site languish and rather than any false pretense of revamping it, I think it’s safe to say I’m hanging up my spurs.

I decided to finally replace the ERLite-3 router that purchased in 2017.

For the last few years I have run a CentOS 6.5 machine at linode to host my site. It was previously set up to host my url shortener that I described here and ultimately sunsetted last year. I still host the blog and the shell of my former url shortener. I’ll briefly cover what that was set up with and then describe what I’m using now.

I’ve been working on what I mentioned last time WRT updating my website. The first step I’ve taken was preparing to migrate to a new webserver. I’ll detail what I’m using to do that, but this post is about simplifying things, and one of the simplest things I use is make.

I’ve been preoccupied over the last few months as I’m sure many others have been. Between the pandemic, the lockdown, and a death in my family, 2020 ended up being a pretty awful year. I decided I’d just put together a quick list of items I’m juggling and post them here.
