Science-Fiction

Previously on isoul.uk: Why I Started Wanting My Data Back — two decades of online accounts accumulate quietly until an account stops feeling like an account and starts feeling like infrastructure. Some people name servers after their function. docker01. nas01. backup02. That is sensible. I name my machines after spaceships from stories I love. This is less sensible. I recommend it. A homelab is already unnecessary enough # Most of what I run at home could be replaced with hosted services.

Previously on isoul.uk: We grew up in a house where the television was always on — older siblings, wrestling tapes, sci-fi reruns and films brought back from the video shop. Television wasn’t background noise. It was the recommendation engine. There is a slightly odd thing about my childhood relationship with science fiction: I remember Star Trek far more clearly than I remember Star Wars. That isn’t because Star Wars was obscure. It obviously wasn’t. It just wasn’t the centre of science fiction in our house.
