Hi Jake! Cool article, and it's something I'll keep in mind when I start giving my self-hosted setup a remodel soon. That said, I have to agree with the parent comment and say that the LLM writing style dulled what would otherwise have been a lovely sysadmin detective work article and didn't make me want to explore your site further.

I'm glad you're up to writing more of your own posts, though! I'm right there with you that writing is difficult, and I've definitely got some posts on similar topics up on my site that are overly long and meandering and not quite good, but that's fine because eventually once I write enough they'll hopefully get better.

Here's hoping I'll read more from you soon!
