For a while now, I’ve followed a pretty strict rule: public services are public, and private services are private.
For me, that meant that the only things on my network that were exposed to the public internet are my blog and public websites. Private services, like Home Assistant or Navidrome, are only accessible from my local network (or remotely via VPN).
Today I changed that a bit…
I’ve finally added a proper gophermap!
It’s been a month since I installed Anubis, and I thought I should give a quick update on that “anime cat girl…”
That's a phrase I heard for the first time when I became a manager; my boss would tell me I needed to "inspect what I expect." To be honest, I don't think I fully understood the phrase until a lot later. In the context of leadership, it means that if you have certain expectations for your team, you should actively verify that those expectations are being met and investigate the cause if they're not. Don't wait until eval season to say "You failed to meet expectations", instead, review expectations regularly, and if someone isn't meeting them, it's your job to figure out why. Have you defined the expectations in a way that they understand? Are your expectations realistic? Did you provide the resources they needed to meet the exceptions? Did you provide guidance when needed? And so on.
I've decided it's time to get my gopher server running again, and wanted to outline the basic steps for anyone else looking to dive into the gopherhole.
