Nothing of actually important note is going on, but I felt like posting to celebrate getting myself a remote server (present to myself for christmas, courtesy of @twilight-sparkle and this post ) and backing up all the important things.
Kind of about time considering just last Sunday it looked like I was losing my nvme drive and I was both hands deep inside my machine to figure it out. (i fixed it, everything looks OK now, but it was scary)
back your shit up if you can, y'all. it's no joke.
