I (mostly) stopped documenting in prose and used ansible instead. It's a bit more work, but it paid off numerous times since then. The prose that's still left, because it's really really to cumbersome to implement, is left in

That's true, it was hard so set it up the first time and get all the details right. However, since then, my Arch Boxes have been an absolute breeze to work with (and my history includes Suse, Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, even LFS, ...)

I found lxd very appealing in the beginning, but when they favoured snap as distribution channel, where, apparently, updates and restarts could only be blocked using the firewall [0], I moved away from it. And Ubuntu in general. [0] https:

I generally agree with you, and I could probably have chosen a better word than "stupid" (not a native speaker though). That's why I tried to clarify in my last sentence, that "stupid" in this context means that the

We still arrive at concensus based on a (more or less free) market. Weights on this market are heavily skewed to the top, that's true. And as I said, democratic votes also don't exactly live up to the cultural standard that we at
