Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

No trolling.

Give Gentoo a shot. It’s super stable and you will understand everything in your system. Also it now supports binary packages
And by now you mean for the past decade at least.
Huh?
Portage has supported binary packages since forever, back in 2012 I had some binary packages on my system, I clearly remember because it was a pain in the ass to compile certain things, for those I installed the binary version. It's like Debian supporting source packages, it's been there since forever but people don't know about it.
I mean it’s had -k/-K since mid 2000s from what I remember but it’s changed

The point is that they have recently focused on better binary package availability. Sure they always had support for binary packages but most software needed to be compiled.
