Yea I use a 4GB RPi 4 and it handles several services really well, all running in docker: Grimoire Navidrome Traefik Seafile + Collabora integration Gitea Vaultwarden Radicale
It idles just under 2GB most of the time so it’s doing well.
Same but it was Duke Nukem 3D for us!
I really think the book Always Coming Home by Ursula Le Guin is very good on this subject, they have a sort of metaphorical religion created themselves, with many of the good community building aspects on religion.
I personally think there is much good to learn from the ways of Buddhism and Daoism, both their core ideas and some of the practice.
I also think that bolo’bolo should be more widely read. It’s really well written and really thinks through how an alternative society could work, it often feels like an Ursula Le Guin book to me. It’s critique of both capitalism and state communism as the Work Machine is pretty great.
I think its spot on about the size of community that’s best for humans (a few hundred), and I like that each bolo is based around some guiding principles, I often think that’s important for a community to stick together.
It’s obviously not perfect or an exact blueprint but its great food for thought and I wish other plans for alternate societies were worked out in engaging detail like bolo’bolo
Two very good points here. The second is the one I’ve been thinking about recently. It’s about considering what format your data is kept in and if you can usably get that out and implement it somewhere else without too much work.
