📰 My home server is smart, my VPS is deliberately dumb, and that's the whole point
People mostly assume a VPS is a more reliable home server because it's always on and should be doing real work. Mine isn’t. I previously talked about how my NAS is just dumb storage and my local Debian server handles the compute. All meaningful workload stays on my Dell Latitude home server — Docker services, databases, media, and anything that actually owns data. The VPS in my architecture follows the same philosophy, just from the opposite end...

📰 Ubuntu Linux Looking To Get Rid Of /etc/debian_version Historical Artifact
Ubuntu Linux has shipped /etc/debian_version that is carried over from upstream Debian and in turn just indicating the Debian Sid development version from which the packages are arrived. Besides it being inaccurate, /etc/os-release has been the long preferred standard for reading the OS release information. Thus finally Ubuntu developers are looking at dropping the /etc/debian_version file...

📰 Desktop Linux apps on Android proved my phone's biggest bottleneck isn't what I thought
Running desktop Linux apps on an Android phone sounds like the sort of thing that should fall apart almost immediately. You are dealing with a small screen, awkward touch controls, and an operating system that was never designed to work like a desktop operating system.
