# Frequently Anticipated Questions
## Questions noone asked, but could maybe
- *Why bother running a Tor hidden service if you're gonna put your full
  name on it?*

One, because I think hidden services are neat and I thought it'd be neat
to make one. And two, if I really needed to be anonymous, I would
probably self-host or find a hosting provider somewhere else, or
reconsider using the Internet all together.

The hidden service has a benefit though, mostly to *you*. You don't need
to expose your IP to me or to anyone else to access this site.

- *You wrote all this in vim? Why tho?*

Neovim more lately, but yeah other than large projects, I prefer using
vim for editing. Mostly because it's easy to edit consistently across
servers and because I just spend so much of my time in the terminal
lately that I'm used to it.

- *Why OpenBSD?*

Honestly, I though the fish was cool.

I don't know the artist of that one unfortunately, I just found it on a
forum.

Besides I've installed Debian lots of times so I figured, why not try
something different? It's pretty cool as a server OS. Just a lot of
homework. I'm sure it's good as a desktop/laptop one too, but it's not
different enough for me to move all my data.

For what it's worth, I use Debian sid for a daily driver.

- *Why bother making your site from scratch? It looks like crap*

Eh. I feel like if what I say isn't interesting, prettying it up won't
help keep attention that much. I like simple sites like this one. It
forces you to poke around more. Poking around is a good thing.

- *Why does your RSS feed update me on old stuff?*

Because I made it to set the publication date to the last write time of
the file. Change is important and I do it often, because I'm often
wrong.
