Looking at how my servers update themselves and the recent Copy Fail vulnerability, I'm considering an automated weekly restart to make sure services and kernels are up to date. It'd also ensure that services are correctly configured to start on boot. Any thoughts? Feels crude.

I've been playing with Obsidian and having a great time. It's fundamentally a .md editor but it has so many affordances that it feels different. Link autocompletion, highlighting backreferences, polished mobile app. A lot of teaching resources focus on folder structure, oddly.

I've been learning some Common Lisp by writing some simple JSON munging programs. I'm sure it's not best practice — I should probably deserialise to CLOS automatically — but it's a nice way to get comfortable with the basics. It feels weird deliberately ignoring helpers though.
