There were old wrappers that emulated sendmail but reformatted the message for use with gotify and such

Well, I wouldn’t go that far. Let’s not forget Nextcloud started as a fork for the same reason. The permissive license doesn’t stop us from keeping it alive, but it is something to be cautious of.

I’m curious about opencloud. It’s flashy, uses go, and has everything that I’m actively using in Nextcloud. The license does make me a little cautious about it though. Apache v2 on the server side is unusually permissive. AGPLv3 on the web ui is cool, but it’s also not really helpful if you’re not required to publish server changes.

It does, but it’s disabled by default. It’s explicitly for docker compatibility though, not a core part of the application.

You shouldn’t need to use the aur unless cachy is restricting your repo access. It’s all in arch extras.

I’m pretty sure the mirror was setup before that was an option. No reason to turn it off now that it’s a source of entertainment.

You have the potential to run into issues if the device is externally managed. At&t likes to push firmware updates at early hours. Cutting power during one of those would be problematic.

Honestly, I was running into the limits of stow. Want to unstow some configs on a bare machine? I hope you wanted that entire directory to be a symlink. Then I saw that someone had actually fixed that many years ago but the maintainer at the time was caught up in some personal crypto related projects and did not appear to be looking at the mailing list.

Chezmoi fixed that, applied a templating engine and added a data mechanism. In moving my stow configs I realized that application specific config file deployments are nice but shouldn’t be necessary. Templates fill that gap, and meshing them with scripts allows you to do some cool things only when variables change.

Plus I was beginning to play around with go at the time, so it just seemed like a good idea to use something I could contribute to if I needed.

I still don’t think I’m using chezmoi to it’s full potential, but I am fairly proud of the script I use to determine data sources for my waybar config on all of my machines.

All public and I regularly link people to my bash functions. Started with git bare repos, moved to stow, now on chezmoi. If I need anything more complex than chezmoi for these I’ll probably give up syncing them altogether.

Don’t forget about linkwarden

Pinchflat is one of the good containers that doesn’t try to play with ID remapping or anything. You just need a container quadlet like the following:

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

[Container]
Image=ghcr.io/kieraneglin/pinchflat:latest

Environment=TZ=CHANGEME

Volume=CHANGEME/config:/config
Volume=CHANGEME/downloads:/downloads

PublishPort=127.0.0.1:8945:8945

It’ll run as the quadlet user id by default.

I haven’t heard anyone talk about puppy Linux in a bit. That used to be the go to for ultra lightweight setups.

All of these alternatives and you missed the best one ripgrep (rg). The other ones in my opinion are nice to have. Recursive multi-threaded grep that respects gitignore files is a must for me.

“I want to know why this is broken. How to fix it can come later.”

Or override the TERM variable in your ssh config. Setting it to an xterm value has been supported by any niche term I’ve used over the years without sacrificing any of the usual functions.

Arch. Started using it in high school. Never had a reason to switch. Now I’m just regularly frustrated by other distros trying to make things easier by abstracting simple configurations behind layers of custom scripts.

AUR, when I can. I run my own binary package repo. App images are an interesting concept, but usually they are compiled against ancient versions of glibc for increased compatibility. Optimizations and CVE patches may or may not be applied, LD lookups are longer, etc.

Sway still primarily counts as a WM + Compositor, but considering it has keymaps, autostart, and libinput config mechanisms embedded in it, I would say it borders a desktop environment.
