https://yunohost.org/ is an attempt to fill that gap, but it’s missing a key feature. Anything that wants to be broadly adopted will have to be appified these days.

@activator90
https://forgejo.org/ is attempting to solve that problem. If we all adopt it (or other federated forges that may appear), we don’t need GitHub at all.

You may want to check out https://forgejo.org/. It’s a fork of Gitea that’s Fediverse-enabled.

wasm sandboxes can take IPs? Regardless, if we’re just talking density, I can put multiple IPs on a single interface or create a ton of virtual interfaces. That’s boring, though.

If you’re scripting it yourself, https://www.complete.org/dar/ gives a few extra niceties over just zip files or tarballs.
Thank @jgoerzen for the nice summary.

SyncThing. It’s the best sort of selfhosted program. You set it up once and then never think about it because it just keeps quietly doing what you wanted.

Wikis can be great if you’ve got a few folks that need to coordinate information.

An RSS reader/aggregator.

@CausticFlames
It doesn’t require it, but you can’t send password reset or emergency access emails without it.

What’s the smallest container around? How much RAM would that take?

edit: FROM scratch let’s you run bare binaries on Docker.

Would be very interesting to see how far that could get. What sort of payload/task would be interesting for all those containers?

@FunkyClown Use what you like! I’m not here to proselytize.

This runs you through the setup: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/8049/how-to-install-some-packages-from-unstable-debian-on-a-computer-running-stabl#8051

Once it’s in place, I’ve had no issues.

@const_void
Certainly, let’s look for more ways to improve, but I’ve not had a need to fiddle with hardware configs in a while.

I count 2 personal laptops, a desktop, and a couple RasPis that just worked for me. One laptop had suspend issues in Windows that went away with Linux, which surprised the hell out of me.

My work laptop (Windows 11) needed GPU drivers reinstalled and increasingly acts up with docking and suspend.

Maybe I’ve lucked into good hardware or something.

@Lazylazycat
You can do what’s called “dual boot” where both (or even more than 2) OSes are available and you pick which to use at boot.

Unless you’re doing something very unusual, you’re not going to end up with many AUR packages. I’ve run Arch on SBCs without much trouble.

There are severely steps in between Gnome/KDE and Awesome. XFCE and Enlightenment are more user friendly options that are still quite lightweight.

@const_void
Have you used Linux lately? It really doesn’t take any more time than anything else.
@FunkyClown

@DidacticDumbass
You can set Debian to prefer installing from stable unless you explicitly request otherwise. That works on a per-package basis.

Presumably you could do the same with any apt-based distro, but I’ve not tried it.

@muddybulldog
After using a small install script of my own for a while, I switched to yadm. It’s nice because it’s a shell script, so no need to compile on different architectures/UNIXen.

@andybug
I’ve been working on using Guix. Theoretically, I love the idea, but there’s definitely some learning curve.

Ah, yep. Now that you say it. Thanks for cluing me in.
