Today is a good day to admit that my leaning out is not going as planned but
rather I have gained a few kg and have taken away but equally added some stuff
to my digital life, such as a FreeBSD VPS. I am probably addicted to
experimentation and lately I've been tempted to do the following:

- move my home server away from Debian and install FreeBSD on it
- move away from my Debian work computer and reinstall clean with something like
  Void or Gentoo or FreeBSD. Something without systemd.

It would be a lot of work to move the infrastructure since it's quite customized 
and at the same time I do not want to get myself into a state of not being able
to carry out my work because I am reinstalling stuff. Not much of a distro
hopper. I've been loyal to Debian and it has not failed me but I do not like
some aspects of the project nowadays which don't seem connected to technology
but social ideologies. 

I don't know about you, fellow gophernauts, but I just wish tech was tech,
evaluated on its own principles and merits without either business interests
(read:enshittification) or ideological underpinnings. We can discuss design
philosophy and strongly opinionated (as I am) stances on certain solutions but I
do not want a project to even ask what gender or race someone is. As for systemd
it is well know that it is not in accordance with the unix philosophy, which is
not an ideology but design decisions that have practical reasons behind them.
Guess I am just trying to unify some of my convictions. Whatever. We will all
die and our computers will turn to rubbish no one wants for free and our
opinions will matter to others as much as political opinions of XIII century
Italian merchants arguing about a local prince matter to me now. Just noise.
Good thing this is not our final destination or how we will be judged in the end
by the Judge.
