The sort of program that once set up, just ticks along without fuss or bother forever.
For me, as I’m replacing the vms today which I set up five years ago and haven’t needed to touch since;
- HAProxy
- KeepaliveD
Not easy to learn, but once they’re running, they both go on forever.


nvim is great and convenient in many ways, and a vast improvement over vim, and yet vim is so amazing on its own that I can’t even be arsed to add an extra letter to the command like 70% of the time.
