   2. Created two versions of the site: initially with React.js and then as a static site.
   3. For the static site, I considered using React Server Components, but found it overly complex... And later discovered a massive security vulnerability in React Server Components. Coincidence? 🤔💭

   2. Towards the end, I began tackling SQL problems
      1. SQL is a database query language developed over 50 years ago but still in use today 🧐

   1. mongodb-sqlite-versus ⌚ 20 hours
   2. Linux setup and OrangePi 🐧 19 hours
      1. It took much longer to set up Linux later, but I didn't track those hours in Clockify.
