While studying computer science and programming I set you up for my hobby projects which I wanted the world to see. And boy did the world see! Multiple personal homepages, a Discord bot, a fully featured web app, multiple modded Minecraft servers, headless Steam, among other programming related things such as private docker image registry.

I spent hours and hours trying to make you behave. Pasted commands from Stackoverflow and bombarded HTTP requests from Postman. At first it was without luck, but little by little you taught me how to communicate with you. Features and caveats of Linux server became familiar to me, and when our communication improved, great things followed. I became a software developer and got a reputation inside my team that "this guy knows their bash commands", and I knew it was you all along. I found the courage to replace Windows with Linux-based OS on my personal device, all thanks to the years spent with you.

I feel great sadness but today I must let you go. Your upgrades, once needed for Minecraft performance, have become too costly to pay every month. I have `rsync`ed you to my personal device so I will always have a memory of you (and access to forgotten .env files). Rest in peace, old companion. You were more than a server.
