It’s hard to explain to most of the folks around me, but I get a real jolt of joy from setting up and playing with servers.
I’m not doing anything major at the moment, just getting some new services running and testing things out.
I think it reminds me of when I first interacted with computers and it was via the command line. (this was back in the 80s).
The quick back and forth in the terminal just feels “real” or “live.”
