An excellent question. For a literature example to share, have you ever heard of Anne of Green Gables, a series of novels from the early 1900s? The title character herself would be treated for ADHD today, and there is another whose name escapes me that would be under ADD.

But they don’t have these terms, it’s the 1900s, so these characters are simply excitable, absent minded, moody, day-dreamers…

Neurodiversity has been with us probably as long as neurons, but we like to make people fit a mold, and anyone who deviates is given a funny nickname and pushed into the mold anyway, or ostracized for their “incompatibility”.

Same with autism and any others, we’re just at the point where we want to look at it medically, and use medications and therapies to get them in the mold, rather than “a good whipping and back to the school books, damn _slur” you’d get in the past.

I generally go with Debian, makes a good stable base. Then over SSH you can use a helper script like LinuxGSM, or use Docker containers. Or both? I’ve seen containers that use LGSM inside…

For the web aspect, you can use DockGE or Portainer as a simple interface for the docker containers, but if you want to dig into the game configs from the same panel, you might want a full grown game management program, or a system level panel like Cockpit.

One cool looking option is to set up a full out hosting panel like AMP, though admittedly it gives me weird issues often enough to think about downgrading to more basic options again. It was meant for a hosting seller environment, and behaves accordingly.

Gitea and therefore Forgejo also have container registry functionality, I use that for private builds.

I’ve only done my “is it even possible” research so far, but these look promising:

Huh. I was just considering establishing a caching registry for other reasons. Ferb, I know what we’re going to do today!

Others are posting the well written explanations, so I’ll make the short comparisons.

GitHub is like Reddit is to Lemmy. It’s the main player in source code hosting, proprietary and centralized to the profits and whims of Microsoft. But for that cost, you can easily bet a project you are looking for has a presence there, and it’s easier for a dev to pop from project to project with one account and identity.

The others are like Lemmy, meant for hosting your own GitHub-like website with all the bells and whistles on top of the standard Git codeshare. There’s a lot of feature parity, though some softwares have more than others. But it comes at the cost of obscurity, Codeberg is a big player but any instance you find is isolated, and any devs you entice to help you need to register additional accounts personal to that instance. And the hosting costs are on you, it can all vanish with an unpaid domain/server bill unlike the central giant of GitHub.

Might I suggest a hybrid approach? Pull from a DDL, verify quality, fix metadata, and then put your whole library up on a searchable DC like Soulseek or a DC++ group(are those even still around anymore?) Torrents if you want to make the effort of compiling the torrents.

I looked at Soulseek and it appeared like a mess of disorganized libraries, random compilations, and I couldn’t even find some major bands or albums on it. But I suppose that’s to be expected.

This is why I can’t/don’t have a lot of the “best practices” in my family archive. I’m not encrypting local drives, I’m not using BTRFS, or a ZFS pool. If I did I’d have to ensure my Will provided for the lawyer to hire a tech shop to help recover them. No, exFAT and NTFS, in the clear so those left behind can just plug them in and get to making their own copies. Otherwise the archive would die with me.

Does that mean someone could steal my drives and go through my family photos? Sure. I hope it brings them much guilt, something a garbled encrypted drive could never do.

exFAT is a newer and viable alternative to FAT32, with better size limits and some pretty good cross-platform capabilities. That said, if your primary access is through Windows, NTFS may have some better features and is at least read-only on other platforms.

Problem with that….

Whose idea of virtue?

You making a Catholic one? Buddhist? Right or alt-right idea of virtue? Lefty? Conservative values, socialist values? Etc.

Or is everyone going to make their own most virtuous AI and throw them in a virtual gladiator pit to finally decide whose (AI)God is right?
