I have lots of scripts and aliases since I run a very mininal setup.

The aliases are automatically set when I start a new shell and I have a shortcut command to cat the alias file so I can quickly view what aliases and functions I have saved.

I also have a folder that contains all my notes and scripts. It’s all organized and it acts as a staging area before I move any scripts to the proper location or device.

I found a hobby in writing scripts. I’ve been spending a lot of time writing my own backup system that uses rsync and it’s nearing completion which I’m excited about. It’s been something I’ve been working building on and off since the new year began.

I used to work in automation within the auto industry. Once I became aware of the damage I was doing by being an enabler, that shit began to eat away at my mental health. I knew I had to make an exit plan when all of my day dreams while working there involved Molotov cocktails.

I don’t envy anyone who has to deal with that kind of mental load. Knowing the harm you’re causing while wanting the opposite but still needing to survive the next day, week or month.
