My Mental Health Journey

  • Racing Thoughts

    I’m at work today and I cannot focus on the tasks at hand. I’m just having a lot of racing thoughts but really no choice other than to ride them out. I’m thinking of the start of school and I am thinking of the VPN that I am designing. I generally have a lot going on now but it is all good opportunities for learning.

    This week is going to be very busy. I only have one day off from work which is good because I need the money. They’re also second shifts so I can get stuff done during the day. I have to get fingerprinted which I will do on Wednesday. I know I also have to stop by the library to print, sign, scan, and upload a document for a background check. This summer went by so damn fast!

    I did get to evaluate a software package at the recommendation of an internet bud named bob. He recommended PowerDNS as an authoritative DNS server. PowerDNS is great but I’m opting to stick with what I know which is NSD from NLNet Labs. I’ll use OpenBSD and NSD to power my DNS servers on my VPN. I’ll use PowerDNS in my homelab to learn more about it and take advantage of its dynamic update capability.
