@ash I'm using chimera and it's alright. Mostly because of the linked post, but also to try going a little off the beaten path. Alpine also looks like a solid choice for that, and their packaging policy of disabling opt out tracking and firefox's ai crap is nice. They seem to take it seriously.
Not sure if it's flatpak or kde but I seem to have a lot more issues with games and window size; I have to lower my monitors resolution before launching the game to hit a reasonable fps and I try in game or after it's launched things break, and I can't really get gamescope to work well.
Gnome and KDE are both uninterested in putting any effort in supporting systems without systemd. I guess we'll see how much of a burden that becomes for the BSD's and systemdless distros.
@agatha Pretty much. go to social's cli can tell you where the media files are. To be careful you may want to turn off the server before making the copy; you should especially do this if using postgres but it's probably good to do for sqlite too, and it's not like the downtime is bad for a single user instance.
@dequbed Finding materials on how to roll your own crypto (I just mean securely implementing existing algorithms, not even designing a novel one) is also really hard! I haven't found anything like "common pitfalls and how to avoid them". Of course the standard should hopefully document which parts need to be done in constant time or anything, but it still feels like there's a lot of assumed knowledge.
(This post is a request for any such materials if someone knows of them)
