I’d say no. Even C needs external libraries.

I guess Rust does this too though - in which case transpiling rust to bash is even less appealing :shrug:

I think you may as well write your script in rust, if that’s what you want to do, and just have it call shell commands then parse the output in rust.

I’ve done this in Python before, works fine.

Eh, go is really good for this kind of stuff. It compiles to a single binary you can just execute from shell

What a surprise this guy is having trouble with marketing

I respect that

I wonder what the overlap is between people interested in self hosting computer services and people who are interested enough in fashion to want to catalog their clothing in an app. I’m in bubble A and not bubble B, but it feels like cataloging stuff you put in your fridge so you can make recipes instead of just looking in the fridge.

I know. He wants to complain and isn’t interested in anything contrary to that.

Ty!

I think I’m on Wayland and it’s been fine?

I’m not concerned about it personally, but you are putting a lot of trust in them as a 3rd party service provider. It’s up to your specific risk profile if that’s acceptable risk or not.

The alternative would probably be self hosting a vpn yourself with dyndns to handle ip address resolution. I’m biased (I have a professional networking background) but I don’t think it’s that much harder to setup either. But then I’m also a hypocrite and don’t self host anything anymore.

There’s also a valid argument to be made that doing it yourself is riskier because novices make mistakes. I don’t think this is too big of a concern personally - it’s not like you’re rolling your own cryptography.

Just as much as Tailscale is self hosting. Tailscale is probably more concerning from a security point of view.

Why use the same name as an existing tech product? If he doesn’t get sued then it’s still bad seo

I’d have to buy a new keyboard at that point

That sounds inconvenient. I use ~ all the time. $HOME should point to the same dir in most cases though

I’d skip Active Directory but the rest seems reasonable.

Doing it all through infra as code and using ci/cd tend to be the most “devopsy” things.

I’ve never understood the point of postman. I usually just use curl

It matters to distro maintainers, which is why it’s everywhere now.

I’ve never had systemd break either

Install wine-staging through your package manager. Every tool you mentioned on relies on that or does something similar itself.

That said, this is an XY problem - what are you actually trying to do?
