<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;This site is running in 11ty and is built locally and then the live site (which gets built into a folder called _site) is pushed to my Reclaim Hosting account, where it&#39;s served up as &lt;a href=&quot;http://kfitz.info&quot;&gt;kfitz.info&lt;/a&gt;. As an intermediate step, I have been pushing the code and content that builds the site to a GitHub repository, and then the _site folder to another GitHub repository, kfitz-site, mostly for preservation/backup purposes; if something happens to the server or to my local repo, there&#39;s another version-controlled pile of code out there from which things can be rebuilt. (Technically, I pull kfitz-site from GitHub to Reclaim. Similarly, &lt;a href=&quot;http://presentations.kfitz.info&quot;&gt;presentations.kfitz.info&lt;/a&gt;, which runs in revealjs, is built locally, pushed to GitHub, and then pulled to Reclaim.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve had in my head for a while, though, that GitHub is in and of itself a point of failure, partially because of its ownership structure. On top of which, I haven&#39;t been delighted knowing that everything I push there is part of the greater Copilot feeding frenzy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#39;d been thinking for a while about migrating my repos to &lt;a href=&quot;https://codeberg.org&quot;&gt;Codeberg&lt;/a&gt;, a community-governed alternative that -- a key consideration at this hour of the world -- is not hosted in the US. But it turns out that the terms of service on Codeberg highly discourage private repositories, and both &lt;a href=&quot;http://kfitz.info&quot;&gt;kfitz.info&lt;/a&gt; and kfitz-site are private, even though the eventual published site is obviously very public and CC BY 4.0 licensed. I&#39;ve kept those repositories private because they&#39;re not the product I&#39;m trying to share -- the website is -- and I want a little freedom to make mistakes without everything being quite that out there. I totally get why Codeberg&#39;s TOS is structured the way it is; they&#39;re really focused on building open-source communities around FLOSS development, which is a huge part of why I wanted to support them. It&#39;s just not the work I&#39;m doing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I spent a chunk of yesterday exploring the possibility of self-hosting &lt;a href=&quot;https://about.gitlab.com&quot;&gt;GitLab&lt;/a&gt;, but &lt;em&gt;holy cats&lt;/em&gt; is it resource-intensive. The instance I spun up on a Digital Ocean droplet would have cost me $32/month to keep in operation, and even so it was pegging 100% memory usage, with just one user. So... no, not unless I were really hosting the service for a bunch of friends who wanted to kick in a little.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This morning, though, I spun up a &lt;a href=&quot;https://about.gitea.com&quot;&gt;Gitea&lt;/a&gt; instance on a much smaller Digital Ocean droplet, which will run $14/month. It&#39;s super zippy and very lightweight, and has allowed me to migrate my repositories from GitHub quite seamlessly. And there&#39;s lots of room to grow, resource-wise, so if those friends decide they want to test things out I can invite them to join me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The next thing I want to investigate in whether I can run that Gitea instance on a shared server, using one droplet to host multiple applications and sites...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;[I]f you, an individual reading this, want to store something and ensure it survives a century, what should you do? More than one thing. You should combine every method available to you, layers of backups, armies of copies, and most of all, practices and sites that encourage a culture of watchfulness and care. You should fight for a society that values the sciences and arts and that which they produce. And then, each day, you should do whatever it takes to keep your something safe, do whatever you can to empower the next generation to do the same, and then entrust that battle to them, to repeat into futurity.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>On Distraction</title>
<link href="https://kfitz.info/on-distraction/" />
<updated>2024-12-14T22:27:34Z</updated>

<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;For a host of reasons, I had to put Oliver Burkeman&#39;s &lt;em&gt;Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals&lt;/em&gt; down for a couple of weeks; there was the post-Thanksgiving crush at work, and then travel for a family event, and then travel for a conference, and then a &lt;a href=&quot;https://about.hcommons.org/2024/12/10/kcworks-named-designated-public-access-repository-of-the-national-endowment-for-the-humanities/&quot;&gt;big announcement&lt;/a&gt; about a big project, and then, and then, and then. But I picked it back up this afternoon, and just tripped on this passage and fell flat on my face:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most other resources on which we rely as individuals—such as food, money, and electricity—are things that facilitate life, and in some cases it’s possible to live without them, at least for a while. Attention, on the other hand, just is life: your experience of being alive consists of nothing other than the sum of everything to which you pay attention. At the end of your life, looking back, whatever compelled your attention from moment to moment is simply what your life will have been. So when you pay attention to something you don’t especially value, it’s not an exaggeration to say that you’re paying with your life. Seen this way, “distraction” needn’t refer only to momentary lapses in focus, as when you’re distracted from performing your work duties by the ping of an incoming text message, or a compellingly terrible news story. The job itself could be a distraction—that is, an investment of a portion of your attention, and therefore of your life, in something less meaningful than other options that might have been available to you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I will only say here that I have spent the better part of the last few months deep in a fret about what I want to be when I grow up, and this hits right at the heart of it. There&#39;s the thing I&#39;m trying so hard to build, and there&#39;s the thing that brings tangible rewards. There&#39;s the thing that I&#39;m most passionate about, and there&#39;s the thing that supports my community. There&#39;s the thing that could with a lot of effort and a bit of luck turn out to be a huge success, and there&#39;s the thing that serves as its own indicator of success.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Burkeman is forcing me to realize that no small part of the strain I&#39;ve been feeling of late is resulting from my trying to have it both ways, trying to keep all my options open, trying to avoid having a path not taken. But each option demands my attention in a way that can only prove a distraction from the others, and the others do not let up in their demands in the meantime.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So the challenge ahead in the new year is, I think, to figure out where I want to place my focus, what might be most meaningful for my life -- and then to find ways to make peace with the distractions, whether by compartmentalizing them or by letting them go entirely. It&#39;s not easy: many of those distractions have real appeal. But if they&#39;re not the thing I most want to do, that appeal might well have the same effect on me as an evening spent doom-scrolling. Rebuilding my attention span in this sense might be more a matter of reckoning with my real priorities than retraining my brain to do one thing at a time.&lt;/p&gt;
