I'm just going to be vulnerable for a minute here. I met the first person in real life who had similar server-y linux-y obsessions to me and we'd send eBay links of systems to drool over to eachother. They ended up being a terrible person but hid it from me pretty well until they couldn't anymore and now I no longer have someone to chat with about those things.

So um, I guess I'm open for applications for the position of "nerdy friend who I nerd too hard with about network infrastructure and Linux packages" now

Your public key is no longer in my ~/.ssh/authorized_keys :(

That's a serious breakup, can't say I've even had anyone that close. Finding the right friends is like finding the right distro and it hurts when someone shows you an ugly part of them (ahem Red Hat).

It was just access to a VPS we had a couple of minor things running on so nothing too big, but still its a very real action that says "this is over" so hitting Ctrl+O then Ctrl+X was pretty heavy

You don’t use vim? I do not see how anyone could be friends with you.

jk, of course.

Yeah, :wq! Hits a lot harder than a Ctrl+x and Ctrl+o

I still use vim to this day. Mainly cause I can't figure out how to quit...
