sftpgo is a nice project to host files in a secure way without too much hassle.

While I don’t agree with your first point from my experience, the second one is very true. Especially for memory consumption, your typical Java app easily occupies five times as much as something more bare metal.

Aaaand blue screen.

Imho, the Steam Deck will be the only one with a really long product lifetime. Simply because Valve’s main business is selling games, not consoles. The Deck makes people buy more/different games. Worked on me. I haven’t played much in the last decade because I was too tired to play at my PC after work. Now I can play everywhere. Couch, bed, car, … Basically every other manufacturer makes money exactly once by selling such a console. As soon as their marketing is done with it, they’ll release a new revision and you won’t see a single software update for the old model ever again.

Better heat the whole state and compile it on your Minecraft redstone CPU inside the Java VM on that tube based CPU.

As long as it plays Doom I’m fine with that. What’s the TDP though? Guess I’ll have to buy a new PSU.

I think the dependencies might actually be a problem for the “one binary fits all” solution. For a simple binary the user is responsible for the external dependencies. If by any chance you’re using Arch, there a package in the AUR.

That’s actually not a bad idea. There are a few downsides to this like the binary being quite big compared to the classical “one binary per architecture” style. I’ll give it a though. The docker image is pretty small btw ;).

Sorry for the double response… I got an error the first time I hit Submit.

My favorite feature of good old reddit (rip)! Makes me feel right at home.

This is the way! There’s a catch with swap files on encrypted disks and hibernation but that’s quite a special case. Edit: forgot to mention zswap, the compressed version of swap.

I tried it a few times but was so slow (even in a local network), I ended up cancelling the transfer every single time. I prefer Syncthing which does require some basic setup though.

Not necessarily. For networking, I wrote a bash script with just a few lines that creates and assigns a private networking namespace to a pod and sets up the default routes. That script is run by a systemd user instance and has the suid flag set. One could argue that it’s not rootless because of that but that’s just the moment when it’s starting. No performance impact and very robust. A lot better than the docker network bridges imho.
