Does this run on x86/64 bit systems? Or this is for Linux smartphones more.

This

I use Jerboa, never tried anything else. Does the job

I’m using it on a Fairphone 5 since a while. Works flawless

Here’s how I build my own images. More details are in the repo, feel free to re-use https://gitlab.com/olof-nord/selfhosted/-/blob/main/images/Makefile

I should say as well, postgres, mariadb and memcached all support riscv, you just got to build it yourself. I have found the riscv64 ubuntu docker images useful as well to use as a base - for example the riscv64/ubuntu one.

I do! Since a while I selfhost with my risc-v Unmatched board. There are prebuilt Ubuntu Server images available. Its mainly for software which you have the source code for, and are willing to build from source. I’ve made use of docker buildx for cross cmpilation a fair bit as well. Go and Rust has good support. A good start can be to check out the riscv-bringup repo from carlosedp. Its definitely early days though, you need to be pretty motivated. Debian support is scheduled for next year AFAIK.

So, what do I actually use it for? nginx + tailscale so far

Tailscale maybe? They have a mode where you can configure a site to site links, you could route the docker networks. https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets

In case you haven’t seen it already - 3mdeb shared some info on the state of things during last FOSDEM. If I’m not mistaken they also did an update the year before too.

I know of exactly 1 AMD corebooot laptop. Starlabs Starfighter.

For coreboot you’re basically on Intel. As others mentioned, look up dasharo. They have added support for two modern MSI motherboards and Intel cpu models.

Test!

My vote goes to Mullvad. Possibly Proton VPN as a second contender.

I didn’t know about GMaps WV, thanks for sharing.

+1 for Organic Maps. Create an open streetmap account and contribute - its a game changer for me. Instead of a consumer, you’re a contributor. (That goes for all OSM ofc)

Yes. I use QKSMS for text messages now instead.

Ah, I was wondering why I couldn’t find how. Makes sense now. Thanks for sharing!

Very well written article, very much worth a read.
