I host many other things on that hardware. But it’s a small 1 litre pc. Sterling pdf is eating the least from there. I tried but I cant stop listing what i have. It is a 6 core gen 10 i5 w 32 gb RAM. Proxmox as hypervisor running two Debian VMs. I think I run 30+ services on it but again sterlingPDF is least of my concerns there. If you don’t have the hardware I genuinely believe you can run it locally without any issues or you can run it on a potato

Just to add the noise: I use Sterling pdf which i host and dear god it has so many functions that i never knew existed

Hard agree on most of these. Try searchxng regards the search bit. It’s a self hostable search proxy. It’ll use everything from bing to duckduck and the topics(eg map search images) are more relevant and specific (at least for me) it looks like the unshitified google era.

And ofc ladybird is far af but i think it’s something that we need right now

I’m in the same boat using Zen. Eagerly waiting on Ladybird to come out. They are writing it from the ground up not even a package being used according to them. Oh and this isn’t some rando this is a guy who done decades of coding(mostly browser) so my hopes are high as Snoop

Wow i was on a very similar setup last year software stack wise. I have a small pc i5gen 10 (eats way less than one might think due to the laptop hardware) proxmox on it running 2 debian vms one for home assistant the other for anything else pretty much that doesn’t require huge horsepower but through the weeks/months crashes and bugs i decided to move my media server to a separate box with native jellyfin install to make sure i have full advantage of the hardware acceleration. That machine is nixos but that’s a whole other story 😂.

I think constant iteration is the key/fun with self hosting. I can’t tell you a single thing on my not so long but very eventful journey that I regret. Maybe try to find what is actually “mission critical data” that you once setup you say i need this to be online and reliable etc so you can play more freely on a separate system be that a vm or anything. Oh and document everything you do will come handy 10000% i guess that’s the only thing I wish I could done better is finding a tool I like to document with. For me it’s like this: I start documenting then something annoying happens with the note taking app or it’s just bloated and I’ll unintentionally abandon the whole thing.

Anyway that’s me waffling 😂 Have fun and I’m happy to share all the little exp I have just give me a shout ✌🏽

Haha right? My first reaction exactly. Written in rust so that’s that. Oh forgot yo mention the collab features almost equally amazing

I use Zed Yeah the agentic ai feature is nice and all but I don’t use it much. However the whole speed of it and the layout of the ui is very close to my heart eg.: native remote server connection or you can hide stuff away to be distraction free. Tldr.: feels nice, looks nice

Many might not like or bored with this answer but NixOS. It has more fresh packages than AUR. You can pin your version if you want or you can do what i did: i have most of my packages on stabile(which is super reliable and mostly fast to catch up) but I’ve defined that i want some from the unstable channel which is basically the cutting edge. Yes there are a few things missing when it comes to desktop apps but can use flatpack for those. On top of that you can program the whole OS to your liking and it won’t build if you fckup or you can roll back on boot if you don’t like what you’ve done. I’ve installed nixos to make my penguin friend shutup and now it’s my safe space really.

I could be missing something but I never see Karakeep when the pocket shutdown is being mentioned. I’m curious ppl don’t know or don’t like karakeep?

The wh 40k lore sounds more realistic than ever
