Gives new meaning to the word mastication

Yeah same. I'm pretty chill right now.

Nice, no more messing around with treesitter packages

Seems to be more complete than reddit.migration

Wow, I tried NixOS at one point but I couldn't keep it as a daily driver because it didn't play nicely with my conda-based dev environment.

I knew nix like guix (another failed experiment I wanted to make my daily driver) could be run as a package manager but I had no idea it could cross-compile and copy in one command!

These are static builds right?

True, I've never had my own build server before... maybe this is something I can start looking at.

Other packages do this though, and builds are easy to automate. Is it because it's not stable software, and so hasn't passed the usual unstable, testing, stabile repo vetting process? If so, I'm surprised, it really looks mature.

Ah cross-compiling is something I hadnt considered... do you have a preferred toolchain for this?

I'm thinking of doing the same, just for a few users like my and my family to interact with the rest of the world. I'm just worried how much resources this will need. How much RAM + CPU are you seeing in your small instance?

 

I'm impressed that Lemmy only needs 150 MB RAM and uses virtually no CPU

This seems like an ideal thing to install on an embedded system such as a Raspberry Pi.

Problem: Where are the builds?

In the installation page, you have three options: Docker, Ansible, From Scratch

I'm currently doing the from scratch option since my OS distributor is not a fan of docker or ansible (and neither am I), but the build is taking ~1hr.

Are there no nightly builds with .deb packages?

general-purpose computers stuffed in a cupboard and forgotten about

This is what the Pi-Zero W was for me. The Pi4 is proving to be more heat sensitive than I hoped for, and though it's a great device (Jellyfin and other streaming services work fantastic on it), I do wonder if I'll come back home to a burning house if I leave it in a wooden drawer.

I yearn for the future where I can host all my home services off a credit card sized device powered with solar panels on each side of the card.
