I’ll try to keep this to lesser known apps:

• Catima (saves barcodes for gift cards, gym memberships, etc so you don’t have to worry about the physical card)

• Cofi (nice timer for active guidance through coffee brewing recipes)

• 10,000 Sentences (a language practicing app that doesn’t have a mildly threatening owl 😉)

• OSMAnd+ Mapillary, Overlay Maps, and 3D Features (seriously, the best. I only use Google maps to get around traffic these days since, unfortunately, Magic Earth doesn’t work very well in my area)

• Obtanium (as a gateway to lesser known software, no shipping to an app store required!)

• RethinkDNS (an absolutely amazing piece of software that gives you fine-grained control of the domains your apps are talking to. A bit of a battery sync but it’s been a game changer for me. On my GrapheneOS setup I use it in the Google sandbox to reduce the amount of data scraping servers my Google apps can talk to)

This is a bit of a Pokemon starter question. Just pick one and see where it takes you! They do roughly the same job, especially now that docker has a rootless mode. At the end of the day you’re learning a new technology and that’s a positive thing.

My process for project identification has been:

1. Be annoyed at ads/payment structure/whatever in some app or service
2. Search https://alternativeto.net/ for alternatives to the thing I’m annoyed with (filtering by Open Source and my devices)
3. Try out 1-2 of the top alternatives
4. Settle on what service I want to run
5. Install, route the subdomain, etc. if necessary (otherwise just access via my tailnet)

As for how to deploy, docker / podman are great! With podman I’d recommend looking into their systemd integrations too. Incus is a neat LXC option too, meant more for longer term services (less micro service focused, good and bad).

Hope this helps!

I’m sure the teacher of the high school debate team you’re on would be very proud ❤️

ooh getting aggressive now are we?

I owe nothing to you. Enjoy your time being a sad person trying to bring others down on the internet :) I hope this little outlet makes you feel better

Sure, buy an inverter and burn up 10% of your energy in the conversion if you’re lucky. That inverter will cost roughly as much as the contents of a standard fridge + freezer, by the way :)

At that point just buy a well insulated cooler and always have some ice on hand. It’ll last much longer.

Congratulations, this is the worst attempt at ridicule I’ve ever seen

Now I don’t know enough about electronics to know how wrong this is

Very, assuming the refrigerator in question typically runs on a typical power grid you’d find in the US or Europe (source: am electrical engineer)

Mainly because most compressors I’m aware of use alternating current (AC) motors, or at a minimum accept AC power. Batteries alone produce direct current (DC). The simplest way to make this work would involve an inverter (converts DC to AC). Cheap ones probably have at least a 10% conversion loss, so you’re looking at an hour or two at most.

Edit: should also mention that discharging a typical lead-acid battery until it’s all the way flat (realistically below ~11V) does irreparable damage. Might be cheaper to replace the contents of your fridge :)

Haha I’ve had a journey to get here, all because I have a 12th gen Framework.

Initially I got Debian Sid working but ran into power management issues with the module system. I switched over to arch and loved that for a while but frankly I was too careless and kept breaking my system. The way I use Arch it wasn’t a stable daily driver. Then I switched over to NixOS and loved it, but I bricked 3 of 4 ports with a firmware update (again me being careless). Graciously, Framework helped me fix the issue.

After all of that I decided to go with a distro that is officially supported by Framework. Between Ubuntu and Fedora I choose Fedora since they don’t have ads for Ubuntu Pro :) I also like SELinux by default and wanted to broaden my horizons

I tried Debian + Nix once upon a time too. Honestly flatpaks and containers did everything I needed and more, and every dev team I’ve been on already has familiarity with the container workflow.

I’m a huge fan of Debian and Nix, don’t get me wrong, but it was shy of perfect for my use case. Glad it works for you though! I’ve been using Fedora + Nix home-manager with flakes for almost two years and I don’t think I’ll ever go back

Yakuake is similar but drop down based (like quake). I love having a hot key to access my terminal (tabs, splits, and all). Especially when editing in vim and looking at docs in Firefox it’s such a buttery smooth workflow.

Real men use Incus NixOS containers for reproducible builds instead of wimpy dockerfiles 😤😤

/s – for real though, I hope someday you finally remove the stick from where the sun doesn’t shine ;)

What no love for Incus round these parts?

I see a lot of love for proxmox in this thread.

Word of warning from my experience, sometimes PfSense seems to get confused with virtual interfaces. It works flawlessly once it’s up and running, but every time I reboot I have to assign interfaces. It will hang until I do so and will not completely come back online until I manually intervene.

Oh cool! I didn’t realize pandoc was extensible enough to deal with this kind of conversion. I’ll give it a look!
