  • I used to use Alpine containers but I’ve since standardize on Debian completely. Proxmox is Debian, my VMs run Debian, my LXCs run Debian, my VPSs run Debian, Raspian on my RPi is Debian, Armbian on my Odroid is Debian, etc, etc.

    The benefit of running the same distribution on all my servers no matter where or how they’re hosted can’t be overstated.

    Less mental overhead remembering different commands or config paths, same software on everything, etc. It’s been fantastic and Debian has always been rock solid for me.




  • iOS dev here, especially when using Swift, supporting older OS’s greatly restricts which new Swift features you can use. Especially any OS lower than iOS 15.

    Give the fact that the vast, and I mean like 95% or more, of iOS users update to the latest iOS version within months of release and over 99% of users are on at least the previous iOS version, it’s preferable to start a new app on the latest iOS version possible.

    Unfortunately that means older (usually 5+ years) devices get left out, but with small volunteer dev teams or solo devs it makes practical sense.
