I host mine just like you want to do. Ghost running in a docker container on my homelab, with reverse proxy and domain pointing to it.

Haven't had any issues so far.

Plasma-pa is built on libpulse, but pipewire is an in-place replacement for that anyway. Kmix is still only built with qt5 on Arch, while Plasma-pa and the rest of Plasma is qt6.

If they were to rename/rebrand, what would be the new name, do you think?

I've heard mention of GeekLinux/GeekOS.

KMail is a great email application, the main issue I have with it, is the Akonadi backend. It's really big and ressource heavy.

Thunderbird just does the same thing, with less ressources. It's also the main reason why I use Thunderbird instead of KMail.

I've used btrfs-autosnap for a while on Arch and it's brilliant. Whenever you install or remove something with pacman it creates a btrfs snapshot of your subvolumes and if you have grub-btrfs install too they get added to Grub menu. Very handy.

You can define which subvolumes you want snapshotted and how many snapshots of each you want to keep. Which means it also removes the oldest snapshot when a new is created if it gets over the keep amount.

I'm probably the odd one out, but my home server is running Arch Linux. And it's been really smooth. I do weekly maintenance in the form of updates and cleanup and it's been reliable since I set it up a couple of years ago.

Sure. But if the project in question only has one or two donation methods and none of those are supported by the company, then the company can't easily donate anything. Companies usually have a strict way of how they can donate and it usually entails Paypal or some other costly solution, while projects like that likely just has a patreon or LibrePay option and perhaps a crypto wallet. Most companies can't work with that.

I use Breeze Dark. All the white in light themes hurts my eyes after a little while.

Not x86_64 based, but the PineTab2 and PineTab-V are 2 alternatives. The PineTab2 is aarch64 (ARM) based while the PineTab-V is, you guessed it, RISC-V based.

Both 8 GB RAM versions go for about $210 on their website.

If you find anything let me know. I have a couple of dogs I would love to keep taps on, when they are out hunting. And I don't have any iDevices, so AirTags are not useful for me.

So when it's booted it will just advertise the storage to the LAN over nvme-tcp protocol?

For my blog I use Ghost. It's pretty simple to set up, but it does require a database (like most blogging software does). So it might not be what you are looking for.
