This is a blog post that was suggested by a puny little tweet - The infrastructure behind openings.moe. I could make a nerdy post about how it works, discussing configs, cache directives, traffic shaping, web server optimizations and so forth. But that wouldn’t be fun. So I thought I’d rather write about the history of openings.moe’s infrastructure (Brace yourselves, this will be a long read) It’s now been roughly one year since I first made openings.

I run Linux. It’s my main OS, terminals and repos from GitHub all over the place. I love it. Everyday I’m asked how I survive. It doesn’t matter if I tweet a random screenshot of something or if I reply “Sorry, I run Linux. No idea how to do this on Windows.” there’s always some guy asking me how I survive on Linux. There aren’t that many tricks to it.
