@<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> "(#x77j6aq) @prologic sounds great so far! It's interesting. I was laid off from a company in 2013 or so and then spent three years consulting independently. That time period is when I started self hosting a bunch of services: git, secure file share, project management (kanban), email/CalDav/CardDav, and XMPP, so that I could run my entire consulting business off self hosted web apps.
