Your family will hate you if you’ll change their distro and DE every time you visit them. Distro hopping is normal for the first couple of years, but do it on your own machine.

Why custom? There’s 6.17 in trixie-backports.

What is n8n?

I mean not much difference in hardware support.

Ubuntu is the wrong choice for any server.

In general, I agree. But I don’t want do participate in holy wars.

Don’t expect much difference between Debian and Ubuntu. I guess you just need to install a newer kernel package from backports.

I’ve read the article you pointed to. What is written there and what you wrote here are absolutely different things. Docker does integrate with firewalld and creates a zone. Have you tried configuring filters for that zone? Ufw is just too dumb because it is suited for workstations that do not forward packets at all, so it cannot be integrated with docker by design.

What does dpkg --print-foreign-architectures say?

What are passwordless solutions in Windows for remote access, disk/filesystem encryption, keyrings?

BTW in all that cases a password can be replaced with a hardware token, for instance. It is just the simplest, most widely used and one of the less secure options.

Install updates regularly. Don’t install software from unofficial sources. If you see a recommendation like run curl something | sudo bash, ignore it. And, in general, don’t run anything as root unless you understand what you are doing and why this cannot be done without root privileges.

Devops engineer is a role.

How often do you rebuild the image?

Unit tests? No matter where you run them, and normally this is done by CI in a prebuilt container image, so you don’t have to wait for “docker building”. Acceptance tests must be run in an environment as close to production as possible, but that’s definitely not a programmer’s job.

Most of what you enumerated is not a terminal emulator job. There is tmux for multiplexing, search and persistent sessions, for instance. And if you want image rendering, what a hell you use TUI for this? GUI programs can also be controlled with keyboard.

If you mean HTTP server, what you need is a reverse proxy and name-based virtual hosts. I usually use nginx for such tasks, but you may choose another web server that has these features.

There’s no any solution. It is impossible to convert from PDF to any editable format correctly. The exception is a “hybrid PDF” that has an embedded editable document. If you need to edit PDFs that you created yourself, store them in hybrid format.

DevOps, not programmer.

What do you want to accelerate? And for what you need more than 256 colors?

Are you serious? It’s just a window where text is printed. Use what your DE provides. Now I’m mostly on LXQt, so I use QTerminal. With tiling WMs I prefer urxvt because I don’t need builtin window splitting ans tabs. I can’t imagine what other features may I need.

Or, alternatively, [[:digit:]], and dont’ forget to add a quntifier + to match multiple digits. See documentaion for details.

awk '/^\/dev\/loop[[:digit:]]+/{print}'
