Alpine is great on the desktop too! I use it on all my desktops, laptops and servers.

I have been running wayland with sway for around 6-10 months (I forget when I switched). I have a 4-monitor setup and hated the default workspace management but swaysome convinced me to switch. I heard a lot of stuff about how manual tiling is bad but I actually don’t mind it and kind of prefer it to automatic tiling from AwesomeWM which I used before sway, .

I have a 6700xt for Linux and an old 2070 that I pass through to a windows guest. I might get a usb card too to pass through but not sure if I have any more space in my mid tower for another pci card.

A molex to PCIe adapter with an 850w power supply. I only have like 10 watts of headroom but usually only one gpu is running at a time so it works fine. I would have bought a better one but my dad accidentally bought 2 for another project so he had an extra one and it works fine.

I kind of prefer mini flux but I maintain the freshrss package in Alpine so I have an instance to test things.

I am thinking about hosting my own Mastodon server from home on a Raspberry Pi (Pi4 8GB)?

  1. Are there good tutorials out there?
  2. What's the annual cost just to host yourself?

@linux @nixCraft @raspberrypi

I would not suggest mastodon for such low powered hardware, its also overkill for a personal instance. Akkoma or GotoSocial would work much better on a Pi. The annual cost is pretty much just 3-15$/year for the domain name.

IP changes are not your concern. It is likely that your ISP blocks outgoing port 25, you can check with nc gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25 and if you don’t get any output its blocked. If you don’t have very many users on your Pterodactyl server, I would suggest just using a gmail account with SMTP in pterodactyl. If you have port 25 unblocked and want to selfhost email, mailcow is a great option and really easy to set up.

The kindle paper white is nice but it’s Amazon. I have one that I keep in airplane mode and load books over usb.

I prefer digital with no drm but if that is not possible I will get a physical book.

My home directory is a git repo with a .gitignore that contains something like

It’s an environment variable. I have MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=true in my sway wrapper script.

I want to do something like this but airmessage does not have a desktop client that works without using their clouds. I use a Apple phone but I just want to be able to respond to texts on my Linux computers. I have an iMac server that I vnc into but it’s kind of annoying just to respond to a text.

Is it open source and in my Linux distro’s repo?

The zoom Linux client is crappy so if the web one does not work for you I would suggest just booting into windows and using it.

Zoom does not work in wayland

If I take 2 a day could I go back in time?
