The rest lives on my NAS or Rock 5B as it deals with large data, backups, pictures, etc. Like Jellyfin, Immich and supporting tooling.

https://github.com/daegalus/daegalus/blob/main/licensing-phi...

I created something like this on my github and then i relicensed what i could that was purely mine, and kept other stuff unchanged and only used those licenses as default going forward mostly.

I chose EUPL also for pure AGPL style OSS work. and I plan to use other licenses as needed.

is there an alternative?

I am curious, can you elaborate more on these Roguelike features and mechanics. Its up for 1 more month, i might be interested in trying them out before it shuts down.

No, because installing something in the userspace is different from system. Most package managers install to system locations, like /usr and so on. Homebrew installs into /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew and is useable from userspace.

Immutable might not be the best term, its more atomic. And while you can install packages with rpm-ostree for example, it gets layered ontop, and the more packages you layer, the more likely an upgrade fails, or a rebase fails. Hence you build a custom image, or adopt a user-space solution.

The method to install applications is again, userspace focused ones. for GUI apps its Flatpak and AppImage. For CLI tools it can be appImage, but for others its Mise, Brew, asdf, or even Nix.

The antithesis is installing applications onto the immutable portion of the system, or messing with it in any way (by layer packages ontop of the immutable parts). Installing into userspace is the preferred method. So these "immutable distributions" do have ways to install "packages (programs)" and that is Flatpak, Brew, AppImage, etc and not the system package manager.

It is why they are moving away from even having Layering as an option.

I use an immutable distribution, i dont use the package manager as it is antithesis to the concept. The current most popular immutable distros (Bluefin, Bazzite, Aurora, etc) use Bluefin for CLI tools, or even some apps that are tricky to get full functionality from Flatpaks but cant do system install.

Sooo, i dont have a system package manager to use to add more packages, not without building my own image ontop of Bluefin/Bazzite.

Also, all the packages on Brew are fairly well tested, while mostly on OSX, they officially release Linux prebuilts for Linux and get tested equally. Brew has been around for ages.

And I havent used MacOS for 8-9 years, and only for a small stint. Not long enough for it to do things.

Also per official stats: https://formulae.brew.sh/analytics/os-version/90d/ Ubuntu makes up ~20% of brew usage, and the Universal Blue family is about 2% and growing.

There is absolutely a usecase for it and its just as good if not better, as most tools are more likely to be statically built, and you donthave a giant dependency mess and other nonsense to deal with. Its cleaner.

On an immutable distro, its a lot of Flatpak, AppImage, and Brew/Mise/etc. Layering packages is greatly discouraged and as the ecosystem moves towards Bootc images over OSTREE ones, the option will go away entirely. You either build a custom image with yoru custom stuff layered on yourself (there are templates and Github CI stuff to help with it.) or you use other package managers.

Also another win is weith Brew, i can reproduced my tools and environment quickly and dont have to deal with Distro quirks. Brew works the same on almost every distro, same pathings, same behavior, and even offers the Brewfiles to let me specify my setup.

I recently switched jobs and had my work setup installed and created within mins of booting into a fresh install and I was working shortly after.

You can literally use Brew for a lot of things. Linux brew is pretty good these days.

If you want this makefile way, use Justfiles,which are modernized Makefiles so you dont have 30 years of cruft and such being injected into it.

But also at the end of the day, Mise exists and is directly targetted for this.

I personally use Brew bundle files + Dotter for my home/tools management. Brew bundles also support Flatpaks these days and i can install those too.

great, now can we convince the rest of the internet to start adding AAAA records and ipv6 endpoints for things. Github is still a nightmare to use DNS64 and NAT64 to access those from IPv6 only machines.

Or all the Container based stuff that still falls flat with ipv6 only modes. Docker still shits the bed if you dont give it ipv4 unless you do a lot of manual overrides to things. A bunch of Envoy based gateway proxies fail on internal ipv6 resources in a k8s cluster that runs on ARM64.

There is just a bunch of nonsense you have to deal with if you choose the ipv6-only route

Dont get me started on CDNs like Bunny or Load Balancers as a service like those from Hetzner, UpCloud, etc that don't work with ipv6 origins.

It looks like DNS is just shared CloudDNS, and email is limited. From the FAQ:

How reliable is dot.bs DNS hosting?

dot.bs is backed by ClouDNS. ClouDNS serves over two billion DNS queries per day, so I can confidently say your DNS is in good hands.

Do I really get free email?

Yes! In order to make this possible, there are some limitations. A maximum of 5 email accounts per domain (unlimited domains) A maximum of 5 outgoing emails per hour, per account (to prevent spammers) A maximum of 75 MB storage per account If these limits are a problem for you, please reach out and we can figure something out.

Mostly political, the other stuff makes more sense, domains are mostly a nice to have.

And for .com, .org, and .net those are owned by ICANN which is US controlled anyway.

Porkbun is based in Portland, Oregon, USA. I'm trying to move my infra to EU only stuff.

It was fine when I lived near Bellevue, Washington. And I did live 30 years in the US but I want to divest myself from that shitshow.

Why would it need to make money, it's just a registry of information and a small about page with a list of entries. It probably runs on sqlite on a single $5 VM. Or a single db.

Other than that, maybe ads

To be honest, it's been flawless but since I mostly use it for personal or self hosting, I haven't had or deal with your situation. I have had to contact support and they are very fast.

I also use it to hide and protect my hetzner server.

It works well. My only gripe is the ipv6 thing

Right now, I would only switch from Bunny if they allow IPv6-only origin servers and route IPv4 traffic to it.

Also no pricing and a "Talk to sales" only link. Which usually means super expensive, or B2B only. I pay like 10 cents a month on Bunny something
