Running my own Vaultwarden, Gogs, Nextcloud, and monitoring stack. Initial setup took a weekend. Maintenance is 30 min a month.

nextcloud is rough to maintain in my experience

vaultwarden is incredible, can't believe bitwarden's server is that lightweight

what monitoring stack? I want to set something up

PostgreSQL vs MySQL in 2026
I've used both extensively. Postgres wins on every technical dimension. MySQL only wins if your company is 15 years old and scared to migrate.

mysql still has better tooling in some ecosystems

postgres is genuinely excellent, partitioning and JSONB especially

sqlite for the win actually, just replicate it

i've touched both and postgres is in a different league

mariadb is the real answer

Docker Compose or Kubernetes?
For a single server with 10 services, Kubernetes is massive overkill and I'm tired of people recommending it.

k8s has its place but yes most people do not need it
somebody - 03/31/26 8:03 AM No.344
k3s is the middle ground if you want some k8s features without the complexity

docker compose and a cron job is an infrastructure stack and i will not apologize

3 months in. The borrow checker has made me rethink how I write code in every other language too. 10/10 would recommend.

for systems stuff absolutely, for web apps maybe just use Go

the borrow checker teaches you to think about memory even in GC languages

What's your current dev setup?
Switched to NeoVim 6 months ago and haven't looked back. Running it in tmux on a Debian box. Muscle memory is finally there.

vscode because I like to actually get things done without configuring my editor for 3 months

jetbrains for anything serious, neovim for scripts
