New server for somebits.com

Somebits.com has a new server. It’s been up for a few days and seems to be working great. Big things hosted here: Weblog Linkblog Postcards The new server is hosted at OVHCloud and runs on NixOS. For 20+ years I’ve been hand-managing servers like this. This time around I got an AI to build it for me. It was a very good experience and I’m quite satisfied with the result. Nix feels like a good match for AIs: the entire operating system is described declaratively so there’s no managing of running ssh commands and tracking their side effects.
