I recently discovered k3d. It’s a light wrapper around k3s, which is kubernetes on docker. It’s amazingly easy to use! If you have docker installed, you can learn the commands and create a k8s cluster in under 5 minutes.
For anyone like me that likes k8s, k3d is a fantastic alternative to docker compose!
TST = Tree Style Tabs STG = Simple Tab Groups
Sidebery provides this functionality as well. Don’t get me wrong. If you like TST and STG, then enjoy!
Sidebery And userchrome.css to hide the default tab bar
Gotta check out Sidebery. It’s a big upgrade from TST
The simplest way is certainly to use a hosted service like GitHub Pages. These make it so easy to create static websites.
If you’re not flexible on that detail, then I next recommend Go actually. You could write a tiny web server and embed the static files into the app at build time. In the end, you’d have a single binary that acts as a web server and has your content. Super easy to dockerize.
Things like authentication will complicate the app over time. If you need extra features like this, then I recommend using common tools like nginx as suggested by others.
I recently dug into this because I accidentally trashed my wife’s OS which was encrypted with bitlocker. PITA btw and I couldn’t beat the encryption
Bitlocker encryption key hash is stored in 2 possible places. First is an unencrypted segment of the encrypted drive. This is bad because it’s pretty easy to read that hash and then decrypt the drive. The second place is on a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) which is a chip on the motherboard. This is better because it’s much more difficult to hack. It can be done but requires soldering on extra hardware to sniff the hash while the machine boots up. Might even be destructive… I’m not sure.
Either way a motivated attacker can decrypt the drive if they have physical access. For my personal machines, I wouldn’t care about this level of scrutiny at all.
Anyways you can see if any open source solutions support TPM.
OpenTelemetry
If you’re up for it, it’s generally better to not backup everything. Only backup the data that you need. Like a database. Or photos, music, movies, etc. for personal data. For everything else, it’s best to automate the install and maintenance of your server.
Disclaimer: this does take more effort!
I think “server” or “waiter” are more commonly used words but they’re all roughly the same. It’s usually a person working in a restaurant that take orders, gets drinks, delivers food, etc.
This really depends on the services you’re interested in. If you want something like aws, then no 🙂
There are plenty of other service providers that do things more ethically. Bitwarden is good, random example in my opinion. The software is e2ee and their service just syncs data between your devices. It’s not really possible for the bitwarden, the company, to read or mishandle your data in a way that matters. Note that this doesn’t apply to the credit card info for paid accounts. Still, this is what I consider “the good guy”.
So what services are you looking for?
Has anyone here tried Kando yet? Looks like a very nice tool. How does it compare to typical keyboard shortcuts?

Hardware has come up a few times in this post now. Seems I should share a bit about what I’m running 🙂
I bought an ASUS ROG Strix GA15DK just over 2 years ago. The hardware was shiny but not top-tier at the time. It’s not new at this point but also not old by Linux standards.
Ooohhhh I like that idea for testing! Thanks for the tip and the recommendation!
Well this is much more commentary than my post deserved :)
Thanks for all the input! If only I could give more than one upvote. Much appreciated!
Redhat :)
At least, that’s where most of my experience is. But now I’m working for a contracting company so I use whatever distros are made available by clients.
Thanks! Especially for the “You described EndeavourOS” comment. This helps me a lot. I’ll give it a close look!
If it wasn’t already known, I currently have no real opinions on various distros. But within a day or so, there will be one correct answer and all other distros will be simply evil! :)
Strange. I’m not exactly keeping track. But isn’t the current going in just the opposite direction? Seems like tons of utilities are being rewritten in Rust to avoid memory safety bugs
