Unfortunately that is not what I am looking for. I am already using named profiles. Like i stated in my original post as well as my answers below, this only works from Inside Firefox, however from the operating system pov it is still treated as the same application. Which means:
a) When i share the work profile, i also share all other profiles, as they are all Firefoxb) When I quick access firefox via spotlight, i end up at the nearest, random profile / instance of firefox. c) There is no way to differentiate the profiles on an application level. d) I can not assign the instances to different desktops, as they are all Firefox.
I thought about this solution, as it is the “cleanest”, however I need on total 4 firefox derivatives. Unfortunately, when looking deeply into the options, i haven’t found 4 that are similarly trustworthy, well maintained etc. Also i have my firefox config fully figured out, it works and is as private as i want them, without some maintainer forcing their opinion on my use cases. Plain firefox is the easiest to configure, as it’s like a blank start. However i might be wrong here and am open to suggestions :D
The conversion is not an issue, there are already multiple tools for that, including a browser plugin with auto refresh.
However the tight integration with the editor, in this case neovim, is missing. At the bare minimum it should show the changed area curently being edited, ideally scroll with the editor scrolling like with common markdown extensions. Currently it just shows a static site that refreshs.
I had a similar idea, however i haven’t seen a markdown plugin, that is well maintained and at the same time simple enough, so that the core, in this case markdown, can easily be replaced with a completely different engine, asciidoctor.
Any recommendations for that?
I also thought about changing neorg, but the missing support for treesitter is a k.o. for asciidoc.
I thought switching from vim to neovim would be like switching from a nano+ to a VSCode CLI, but it’s far from that. There are so many plugins and it’s not as easy as declaring which plugins I want, having one dictionary/mapping/attribute set with keybindings, another with global preferences, and done....
Good choice, however the number of supported languages is limited to things with language server or treesitter support. Meaning languages without this, like asciidoc, is not supported and might never be
It might have. I’ve tried nixos on a mini PC meant as a home server, so most configuration is done via SSH and users don’t change (much), I might have accidently activate it while trying nixos out.
Making users unable to login is a bit of an odd (side?) Effect, but maybe I’m not understanding the purpose of this option correctly. I’ll stay away from it for now :D
Thank you everyone for all your suggestions! I’ll quickly try to summarize them for myself. So what you suggest is:
Operating Systems:
NixOs
Debian 12
ElementaryOS
mint
PopOs
EndevourOS
Fedora
arch
Opensuse
Novara
Tiling Window Manager:
Recomended to use something based on wayland.
hyprland (can be configured from file, good compatibility with nix)
sway (proposed with Debian, multiple suggestions, config via file as well, good for custom keybindings, already options for sway in nixos)
i3
bspwm
KDE Plasma
dwm / dwl
Status Bar:
swaybar (in case of using sway)
waybar (when using wayland)
eww
ags
KDE neon
Package Managers:
flatpack
brew (is this already stable enough?)
Nix (obvious choice if nix os chosen)
snap
(pacman if arch)
integrated one
Packages:
together with wayland alacritty or kitty
foot
Yakuake
suckless
At the moment I am trying to avoid anything where RedHat is involved. Not because of the recent controversy, but simply IBM is known to kill their software solutions on a whim. (although i still use ansible), so Fedora is unfortunately out (again, no judging on how great it is). I’ve been quite interested in EndevourOS, so that might be fun to try out. Debian for the desktop probably not right now. I’m running it on servers for stability, but for a desktop environment, i prefer having more recent packages (e.g. neovim). The “sales pitch” for Mint sounded pretty interesting as well. However i’ll give NixOs a try first, simply because it was mentioned very often, same with sway.
Based on this i’ll try out these combinations first:
NixOs with sway and eww
NixOs with hyprland and waybar
NixOs with dwl and ?
If this does not satisfy, i’ll look into endevourOS and mint, but that might require some Ansible I assume.
I forgot one essential tool, where I need a recommendation for: spotlight. I use it to switch quickly between applications or to folders. Keyboard shortcut, first letter of the application name and enter… I know there are solutions, but I only heard from Ubuntu, which I don’t want. Anything simple and fast you can recommend?
But I don’t see the unique selling point of it compared to alacritty and kitty, besides web-enabled. Is there anything that it does better than these 2?

I don’t know how the code is currently working, but I like this feature idea and would suggest to start very simple and proceed from there.
For example you could: a) Make a list of communities that are siblings with their id and instance b) add a toggle to view sister community posts yes /no c) query all communities, list the last x posts from each with time constraints, e.g. not older than 1 day or hour depending on the community post frequency d) list them sorted by time of x , depending on what was chosen
The biggest issue I see with this simple approach, besides others, is that different communities are different in terms of activity / post frequency. So ideally the better, but more effort, way would be to let each community instance communicate their posts themselves via a query with activity metric parameters. Basically the amount of returned posts would depend on common parameters set by the most active instance.
It’s not yet thought out, but just getting an mvp started and test the waters would probably be better than having it perfect right away while working on it for months
The issue was much more straightforward than i thought. It seems sometimes thinking of too complex issues will hinder finding the easiest cause - the local forewall on the pi was blocking it / had no explcite allow.
To check i did: sudo ufw status verbose
There was only port 22
I added the new port as Allow Port 8081: sudo ufw allow 8081
And it works now! Thanks for all the tipps that pointed me in the right direction!

The jbod idea sounds good to explore further, as it tha home server and storage would be separated. However it would add an additional device to the power bill.
However i don’t need the full amount of all disks at all times. If i’d want to unplug via shell script, i’d need to plug it manually in person back in for storing things. I actually do not need it running all the time, as the home server ssd can cache most of what i need recently in access. The jbod is then more an archive.
i’m mainly looking for a way to power down the inexpensive hdd’s. I could use the raspberry pi as the jbod controller, but it does not properly support wake on lan, so thats also not an option
Can you recommend some devices? Most of the ones i saw had good prices, but not performance relative to power usage. The N100 with its 4 efficiency cores is actually quite good for the price and power usage. Unfortunately most mini pcs with it have limited ports.
I also think, that 2 ssds might be sufficient for the beginning. I’m even thinking of just adding 2 external ssd’s and call it a day for the beginning (one as backup), but that does not scale well.
