What Are Your 2022 New Year's Resolutions?

2022
Have you made any New Year’s resolutions this year? If not, here are some you should consider as you look forward to 2022:

I will update my systems and not get caught by some ancient bug. I will learn the ways of apt and yum.

I will keep my backups, test my backups, and monitor my backups. I will not lose data.

I will read LowEndTalk, read reviews, and ask for advice and if I ignore it, I will not complain that my 16GB KVM for $1/month blew up.

I will use SSH keys instead of passwords. In fact, I will turn off password authentication entirely.

I will use a VPN when I’m logged into some hotel’s sketchy wi-fi.

I will cancel my PayPal subscriptions when I cancel service and when I forget to do so, I will not open invective-filled threads on LowEndTalk.

I will not use “monkey” as my root password. I will not even use “monkey!”.

I will check LowEndBox and LowEndTalk every day!

Dread Lord of LowEnd Content at LowEndBox

I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.

I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.

I enjoy writing technical articles here on LowEndBox to help people get more out of their systems. You can find me on LowEndTalk @raindog308
