If you want to keep everything inside a singular Nix configuration while still using Docker, you can check out the NixOS option virtualisation.oci-containers - essentially, a declarative way of managing docker/podman containers (similar to docker-compose) but with Nix.

You could host on Gitea and mirror to GitHub. Obviously, users may be less inclined to sign up to your Gitea instance, but I hope people being unwilling to register becomes less of an issue once Forgejo (Gitea fork) implements forge federation.

I hope this changes (even if a little bit) once Forgejo (FLOSS Gitea fork) adds forge federation.

when you copy/paste a file on your computer it’s much faster than copying the file

I think you meant ‘when you cut/paste a file’?

This is a pretty good option, though I also think something like what aseprite has done is pretty good too (compile it yourself for free, or pay for a precompiled binary available through e.g. Steam) - from what I can tell this setup is fairly profitable.

Well, I’m not sure how many lines of C rm is written in but I think that rm being only around 4kb (iirc) is something to consider.

But still, storage probably matters least in this day and age. Oh, and…

something I used to completely nuke my home server

If I’m reading this right, then I hope you had backups ready :)

Nah, no way. :)

This probably isn’t the answer you’re looking for, but vpr being memory-safe isn’t a benefit that it has over rm, since rm apparently doesn’t allocate any memory (as @radiant_bloom@lemm.ee wrote).

the first thing you mentioned as a benefit was memory safety.

Looks like I worded my project description poorly. As I wrote in another comment, I meant that this alternative is memory-safe (being written in safe Rust), but not that rm isn’t.

edit: I’ve updated the post’s title to clear things up

I guess vpr -x would be memory-safe that way then. ;)

I don’t know whether rm is memory-safe or not, but vpr is. By ‘memory-safe alternative’ I meant that this alternative is memory-safe, but not that rm isn’t.

Matrix/Element isn’t an alternative.

Why not?

And, what about Revolt?

Happy to hear that you like it :)

Go for it! It’s pretty simple but does help teach a few things.
