WARNING: Blatant self promotion follows :)

I've recently switched to using Alpine on my laptop, and have written a bit about setting it up using ansible here:

And when you can't find the apps you need in the distribution there's always podman:

Instead of using podman directly, and potentially messing with X11 permissions, you could use x11docker (despite the name, it podman support). It attempts to safely share X11 into a container.

Tried using x11docker in Alpine, didn't work for the Electron apps I tried with it. Tried for several days; finally got the app running in Docker without x11docker.

vs upstream saying

I ran Alpine on my laptop during the last half of college. It's a great little distro if you don't mind occasionally compiling things.

I've been on Gentoo since 2005. It's a great distro if don't mind compiling everything ;)

Fun fact: Gentoo actually uses Alpine docker containers as a base to build their Docker containers.

I got hazed by an upperclassmen with gentoo around that time and it's ruined me ever since. It's just not Linux if I can't edit a text file and rebuild the world.

Mine had the unfortunate 'let out the magic smoke' feature :/ Which fortunately led to the upgrade to an Atari 800 :)

Ha! I've been working on https://movielandmarks.com/ since 2006 or so. It has gone through various changes (started out as a LAMP stack). It is currently a static site built from a pile of json and a go program to assemble all the parts. I'm the only contributor these days, and only work on it when I feel like it.

At the start I had dreams of selling tons of DVDs via Amazon associates. But I'm terrible at marketing :) So these days it's just a simple site with no ads -- just 1258 landmarks from 322 movies. I sometimes announce new additions on twitter from https://twitter.com/movielandmarks but it only gets about 30 or so visitors a day (mostly bots).

Looks fun. I'd fill in a few dozen suggestions if there was a form.

https://goaccess.io/ is nice, analyzes the logfiles instead of requiring it be added to the pages.

It's much simpler, though. You get aggregate stats on who is sending you requests, which is useful but not what people have come to expect from "product oriented analytics."

I've had to do the same thing with pretty much all of my Logitech trackballs - https://www.brianlane.com/post/fixing-a-few-logitech-trackba...

They do last for quite a while, but eventually one of the switches will go intermittent, depending on how much minecraft the user has been playing...
