<h1 id="frequently-anticipated-questions">Frequently Anticipated Questions</h1>
<h2 id="questions-noone-asked-but-could-maybe">Questions noone asked, but could maybe</h2>
<ul>
<li><em>Why bother running a Tor hidden service if you're gonna put your full name on it?</em></li>
</ul>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The hidden service has a benefit though, mostly to <em>you</em>. You don't need to expose your IP to me or to anyone else to access this site.</p>
<ul>
<li><em>You wrote all this in vim? Why tho?</em></li>
</ul>
<p>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.</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Why OpenBSD?</em></li>
</ul>
<p>Honestly, I though the fish was cool.</p>
<p><img src="/static/puffy.gif" /></p>
<p>I don't know the artist of that one unfortunately, I just found it on a forum.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>For what it's worth, I use Debian sid for a daily driver.</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Why bother making your site from scratch? It looks like crap</em></li>
</ul>
<p>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.</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Why does your RSS feed update me on old stuff?</em></li>
</ul>
<p>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.</p>
