My life in 512 MB
Over the years, and specially since 2020 I started to enjoy more being less on the bleeding edge for everything including computer systems and "embracing tradition" in more basic computing and low-spec machines.
This is one of the reasons why I decided to set up this server as a place where I can just go back to the basics again, the way I used to do, the way I used to have fun with more than 20 years ago...
So found this cheapo VPS that cost me like 5 bucks a month and I was like, "Can I commit to pay for this in the long term???" "Will it be useful for me somehow??" "or im just throwing money that I don't have away??" but then, thanks to this little machine I've been able to embrace a completely different way of doing computing, learning Linux, System Administration stuff and also learning old(new for me) lower level languages such as CGI, SH and PERL which I find them more useful and robust than living in the sandbox Javascript actually is.
How limited I was, and now suddenly also having to set up and work on the PSO server and running services like this blog all in such a small footprint of 512MB RAM, it kinda helped and encouraged me push through and earn my first humble certifications in Linux System Administration so I can achieve a more stable job than dying in what is the hell of the usual Web Development with endless unfair interviews, office politics, unreasonable deadlines, etc.
I really want to get away from all that and just focus on maintaining your computers and systems running in the background without you ever noticing it....
Like a cat behind a desk!
I just hope I can still bring food to my table...
