I accepted an offer at a place, I'm pretty excited. And now I'm touring a datacentre and hoping that this also works out so I can kind of head into my birthday (next week, thanks) with a lower level of background stress.
The funny part is how all of this is optional and yet I get stressed. My nature, I suppose.
Have done nothing with my new domain. Soon, maybe? I'm curious about using Mox or that Rust Mail-Server to host the email instead of my existing Migadu solution -- not because I am unhappy with Migadu (I am happy with Migadu, in fact) but y'know, for fun and chaos reasons.
The prospect of starting a full-time job means closing down some tabs relating to things I was going to explore or dig into. I like my on-boarding period at a new place to be pretty focused. Specifically, my practice of getting better at Go and figuring out good Go patterns for web app development can hang fire: I'm doing Rails at Colocataires and Python at $NEW_THING -- no need to muddy things.
I want to like systemd-networkd but it seems like it has a major problem on hosts which have huge routing tables -- like it wants to listen on NETLINK for every route and take some kind of action, assuming that most people have three or four routes on a machine, but a BGP router can have like ... hundreds of thousands. And systemd-networkd has a fixed time it waits for things to settle (25 seconds) which ... that's just not enough.
Back to ifupdown2, I suppose. At least for routers. But if I'm doing it for routers, maybe I should do it for everything?
