• Show HN: I built a website to share files and messages without any server

  I've got another one on topic of self-hosted file sharing: - FileBrowser running in Docker (https://filebrowser.org/features) - Syncthing running in another container (https://syncthing.net/) Syncthing keeps the files on your PC, Mac, BSD systems updated, and FileBrowser can point to the share and supply a convenient web UI.

• Just got a new M2 Pro after my 2016 became outdated. What are your first steps to setting up a new computer?

  If you haven’t already, this is the time to install a tool like yadm and get your computer configuration into version control. Your command-line tools can be managed by yadm directly, your system settings can mostly be managed with a yadm bootstrap script that runs things like defaults write, and the software you install can be managed with a Brewfile that the yadm bootstrap script uses to install software with...

• System 76 Linux script to set up a new PC including the personal profile and prefered software installs

  I personally use YADM. It's basically a git repo on my home folder, that only tracks what I explicitly set.

In it's essence, it's a set of bash/sh files that are executed sequentially when you launch the yadm bootstrap command. Source: about 1 year ago
