Before ~1800, almost every parent lost a child; now it’s such an uncommon experience that people have forgotten and want to ban vaccines.

I’ve built up a list of things I really should write a blog post about, so this is my reminder to actually do it.
- Turned an old laptop into a home Linux server
- Started self-hosting an inventory system
- Set up Samba for file-sharing
- Enabled remote access so I can manage everything from my phone and laptop

Trains are so good. Train stations are wonderful spaces between here and there. I wish, wish, wish this country would decide to make them affordable and actually work properly for the public.
