This time it's #Debian with #Docker. I used to avoid containers, preferring to run services directly instead. But setting up backups made me appreciate the separation between the application data in image and persistent state in mounted volumes. The final piece that convinced me is the ability to self-host my own container registry with @forgejo@floss.social
I'm doing the initial setup through #Ansible (learned from @notthebee@tilde.zone), but specific applications are managed via dockge. The ambition to do every adjustment through playbooks burns out really fast when working with a single instance.
Oddly tempted to try to switch to #Vim (realistically @neovim ) again for code editing. And switching on vim mode in @silverbulletmd
Trigger: the realization that anything not purely open source (like VS Code) eventually #enshittifies

Although familiarity with usual vim still comes in handy on the school computer 😅
@zef @neovim @silverbulletmd Just curious, what is bad about VS Code? There's also VS Codium, which is a community-maintained open-source build of VS Code.

@slashtechno it’s not bad just yet, but MS controls some key parts like the marketplace. Also: this https://devclass.com/2025/04/08/vs-code-extension-marketplace-wars-cursor-users-hit-roadblocks/

Writing a single bash script that turns a clean #Debian install into an opinionated #selfhosted setup (the one that I use myself) with:
* #Docker
* #dockge as web UI for managing docker-compose stacks
* @tailscale setup to expose deployed services with TSDProxy as separate TS domains
* Restic for data backups
Anybody interested?
This is what #FOSS promises to be, and it does feel nice to actually do it.

@marek congrats! Silvebullet is so awesome. I'm still on v1, anxious about updating, but eyeing all that awesome work 👀
I did enjoy the ease of setup of TkInter, and compatibility with Matplotlib, but I was missing the simplicity of immediate mode libraries. In trying to emulate these, now a few callbacks trigger "given this dataclass with state, the widgets should look like this".
The micro-management gremlin is whining that it's repeating useless work, but more importantly the window is complete and I can go on with the experiment.

Thanks @grunfink@comam.es for the #snac server, @stefano@bsd.cafe for the blog posts that pointed me to it, @voron@snac.nya.pub for the theme and @manton@manton.org for motivating me with your book
