					<h1>An Update</h1>
					<p>Just want to keep this site up to speed.</p>
					<p>It's been months since my last post and and a lot has happened. I've landed a job as an actual sysadmin, made friends, eased stress, and suffered loss. It's been exhausting, which is why I haven't posted much.</p>
					<p>On top of that, I have basically no social media presence so nobody reads these things anyway. I know I said I would do this for myself, but as it turns out, doing things for yourself is hard, and I'm no social butterfly by any metric.</p>
					<div class="break"></div>
					<p>Beyond personal shit, though, I have updated this site a bit. In no particular order:</p>
					<ul>
						<li><b>Gitea registrations are now open!</b> Bring your friends and encourage people to run around and write code and file bug reports and do whatever they do on git hosts. Commit bigass binary files and I'll kick your ass.</li>
						<li>The website is undergoing a major redesign, and this probably won't even be its final form. There's a lot to do here; I'm no webdev.</li>
					</ul>
					<p>The Ansible repo that I use to manage 9iron has gotten significantly more complex and significantly more organized. I'm making good use of tags, making good inventory, making good playbooks, and more. Really there are only a few things I need to work on, like separating out roles a bit more and separating plays between installation, configuration, and removal. Oh, and getting ansible-pull figured out.</p>
					<p>My weird obsession with statelessness is waning as I figure out backup scripts. Just need to hook into the S3 API and push weekly backups to cold buckets and we're good to start rolling with statefulness again. I realized really quickly that basically any deployment is going to have state.</p>
					<p>I ported my tModLoader development environment to Linux and <em>almost</em> everything works. The only thing I can't quite figure out is how to get edit-and-continue to work with the Steam Runtime, but once either that's sorted or I trash my packageset with Terraria dependencies, I should be ready to pick Sutando Da back up. It's a mod I wrote a while back to try to add stands and it was entirely because I wanted to try to implement The World. Timestop actually works pretty well, surprisingly; I didn't think TML would have all the right hooks but it <em>definitely</em> does.</p>
					<p>Still listening to The National.</p>
					<p>Things are looking bright.</p>
					<p>- Salt</p>
