infrastructure that quietly - and reliably - runs in the background
and stays out of my face.  I have enough adventures trying to keep
systems running - I don't need any more entertainment,
thankyouverymuch.

Welcome to the 21st century, where each and every single goddamn thing
is just a delivery platform for advertising...it's enough to make a guy
wanna go live in a shack in the woods :/
