In I think 2019 or 2020, I found some of Jeff's stuff online. I realized I actually had a pi in a box somewhere I'd won in a hackathon way back when. Set it up. I'd been doing a lot of linux sysadmin stuff in the past and kinda missed having a server I could upload stuff to. I set up a blog and some other stuff. Got lured into Jeff's cluster shenanigans and got a few more pis and set up a tiny cluster with various services I found useful[1]. I built a bunch of services from scratch. Eventually my hybris grew and I started drawing up plans for my own search engine, running off this cluster. I figured why not, covid was coviding and I had a lot of time. Turns out you need more than bunch of pis to run a n internet search engine, so I got a bigger server. Still my first iteration indexded like 200k docs. One thing turned into another and now I've quit my job to work on this full time. Weird how the world works sometimes. I guess what I wanted to say is: Thanks, Jeff. [1] This was before the semiconductor shortage, back when pis were abundant. Sorry if I contributed to any shortages. I've sold off the ones I didn't end up using :)
