Considering everything that’s happening recently it’s getting increasingly harder to find rest and peace, and I’ve been wondering what do people in this community do for fun, if there’s any media you recently found you enjoy, or anything else that comes to mind.
It’s been really hard finding community where i live, and i thought maybe this will make me and other people like me feel a sense of community.
I’m living at home now with my aging parents so I’m fortunate enough to use some of the backyard for growing veggies and plants.
I’ve mostly been “building” an operating system by using Alpine Linux. It’s a super minimal operations system that’s commonly used for containers like Docker. Once installed, you start everything from a TTY screen. There is support for graphical desktop environments but even then you need to add extra parts to it. Everything from file systems to USB connectivity and so on.
It’s been a good starting point for me into understanding how Operating Systems work without taking any formal education. Alpine is very modular which means you can create a system specific to your needs if you wish. I think it’s great for a web facing server since you can create a system that has less surface area to attack. One step out of many when it comes to internet safety.
I did create a program for myself based on POSIX scripting standards for file transfers using Rsync which I am quite proud of creating. It should in theory work on a wide range of operating systems that fall under unix, including apple products or even windows if you are using the linux sub system with Rsync installed.
