| summary | This website presents a collection of personal reflections and experiences centered around technology, primarily focusing on OpenBSD, self-hosting, and alternative communication platforms. The author, jbauer, explores themes of software freedom, critiques modern messaging systems (email, tmux, etc.), and champions older technologies. Key topics include:
* OpenBSD: A detailed account of running OpenBSD on a Dell XPS 13 9380. * Self-Hosting: Emphasis on self-hosting various services like Git and email, alongside discussions about the practicalities and potential drawbacks. * Communication Platforms: Strong advocacy for IRC and a critical view of contemporary platforms like email and Slack. The site suggests IRC as a viable communication option. * Technical Projects & Communities: Links to personal projects and communities on platforms like Bandcamp, deskto.ps, HackTheBox, Codeberg, SourceHut, GitHub, Lobste.rs, jbauermerveilles.town, and various Fediverse networks and IRC channels (OFTC, Libera Chat, Esper.net, Tilde Chat).
Essentially, the site is a digital journal documenting a preference for older, more technically involved, and self-determined approaches to computing and communication. |
