Not sure what your exact requirements are, but these three should work great as simple upload and share embed link type servers :0

Lychee: My personal choice even for my entire photo library since I just like things to be simple

Pellicola: Self discribed as “Pastebin for your photos”

Media Goblin: Lets you view more then just photos, might replace my lychee for non-photography use

Anything 8th gen or newer is going to run everything you need and then some. Ive seen people using that mini-pc as a full gigabit router even!

The previous comment talking about price to preformance of mini PCs is somewhat correct if were talking anout buying new, but absolutly wrong about buying used/refurbed. Regular PCs are widly more popular meaning they hold onto their price better. For selfhosting a used/refurbed mini-pc is probably the best form factor you can get when starting out

Write POSIX scripts for portability*, maintainability doesn’t depend much on the shell

POSIX for the system, Fish for the interaction is how I like my OS :3

Endevour to Debian to Alpine. Planning on the move to Guix when I have some free time…

Maybe one day I’ll hit true neckbeard and daily Redox lol

Why not just use a bluetooth or 2.4g remote?

Sorry yea bad wording on my part, I was intending “limiting” to refer to stopping companys from profiting off of your work without limits (controbuting back to the comminity)

Where are you hearing this?? The FSF has an entire licence dedicated to limiting commercial use of your software (the a-gpl), gpl-3 is also much more limiting which us why linus doesnt use it for the kernal, but few would call gpl-3 not open source. Open source means people can modify and redistribute your code, theres nothing preventing you from saying “This code is free (as in beer and freedom). Keep it that way)”

Microsoft offically supports and encourages using windows in a VM and container tho? It’s massivly important for developers and server admins to be able to do. Even regardless of that, they’d still prefer you to run a windows vm and keep their OS as a core dependency of your computing life

Theres actually quite a few options to get around the expensive price of vanilla! If you have a costco membership kirkland bulk vanilla is much cheaper per oz then regular stores tiny bottles of vanilla, or you can use imitation vanilla instead (ive heard good things but havent used it myself), or my favorite option is to just make vanilla yourself: it takes a couple months and is expensive upfront but its also cheaper then buying extract + its dead simple (seal vanilla beans and vodka together and wait)

Sadly Im not making my own vanilla anymore but when I did it tastes the exact same as any store bought version. Plus you can customize the taste (some ppl like to use Bourbon instead of vodka)

Krohnkite has a float mode (basically just disable) aswell as a float specific window. Unfortunately I cant access my desktop until much later but when I do I’ll grab the specific instructions

Should be under keyboard -> shortcuts -> window management(or something similar) -> krohnkite float

Keybind the floating layout in settings and it will act as a toggle! (Taskbar button I dont have a solution for tho) However krohnkite still isnt anywhere near the polish of an actual tiling wm unfortunately

YES GARLICCCCC! I add so much garlic to all my cooking but it tastes so good with so many things. And ive always found it weird how little vanilla most people put in their baking to the point you cant taste it at all-

The Anubis repo has an enbyware emblem fun fact :D

Even better! Not sure about chrome but firefox has two good extensions: “Youtube-shorts block” and “Hide Youtube-shorts”

Apparently my experiance has been the outlier here but I’ve seen a ton of MX talk in the last year. Even to the point of it being somewhat commonly recommended alongside mint for beginners but on older hardware

Ay thats really nice to hear! Ofc no pressure with getting anything released, as the project stands right now is already something I’m excited to use

It would be really cool to have a docker build for this to selfhost!

If the author has a patreon/kofi/etc they also released builds on you may be able to find them on kemono.cr
