laughs nervously in NixOS
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.
Genuine question -- how does it "use" that water? Isn't it primarily utilized for plain old water cooling, where in mind it just evaporates at worst?
What are we going to do, build high speed rail!? A technology so advanced that China alone has enough track in active operation to traverse the US over 13 times as of three years ago? I dunno, seems like a gamble
My process for project identification has been:
- Be annoyed at ads/payment structure/whatever in some app or service
- Search https://alternativeto.net/ for alternatives to the thing I'm annoyed with (filtering by Open Source and my devices)
- Try out 1-2 of the top alternatives
- Settle on what service I want to run
- 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!
