I built a small web tool that generates a single install command for multiple Linux applications.
You select apps and a distribution (Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, etc.), and it outputs grouped commands for APT, DNF, Pacman, Flatpak, Snap, and AUR, including setup steps when needed.

Inspired by the friction of repeatedly setting up fresh Linux machines.
Hi guys, after your feedback from last time, I have turned my simple storage cost calculator into a financial cost modeling tool. I have made every effort to include all types of costs involved. Do you think I have missed something? I would love to hear your thoughts on it.
I have read and watched these articles and videos where people seem to have a problem with Microservice, Kubernetes, cloud providers, or anything that's not a PHP server sitting behind an nginx running on a $5 VPS. I have also seen the front-end analogy of these types of posts, where anything that is not written using HTML, CSS, and jQuery is unnecessary bloat. I will soon write a blog, which I think will cover more points and nuances of both sides. For now, here are some of my scattered thoughts.
- If deploying your MVP to EKS is overengineering, then signing a year-long lease for bare metal is hubris. Both think one day they will need it, but only one of them can undo that decision.
- Don't compare your JBOD to a multi-region replicated, CDN-enabled object store that can shrug off a DDoS attack. One protects you from those egress fees, and the other protects you from a disaster. They are not comparable.
- A year from now, the startup you work for may not exist. Being able to write that you have experience with that trendy technology on your resume sure sounds nice. Given the layoffs we are seeing right now, putting our interest above the company's may be a good idea.
- Yes, everyone knows modern CPUs are very fast, and paying $300/mo for an 8-core machine feels like a ripoff, but unless you are business of renting GPUs and selling tokens. Compute was never your cost center; it was always humans. For some companies, not being able to meet your SLA due to talent attrition is scarier than the cloud bill.
I know these are one-sided arguments, and I said I would cover both sides with more nuance. I need some time to think through all the arguments, especially on the frontend side. I will soon write a blog.
Most cloud pricing calculators online are built by a cloud provider or storage server seller. As a result, they are too simplistic and always show their option as the cheapest. I have built an actual pricing calculator that takes into account every single variable to give you a detailed yearly breakdown for both scenarios.
You will be surprised to learn that once you start accounting for different variables, on-premises may not always be the cheapest option.
I'm pretty sure GP means: all those users have egress from a finite number of IPv4 and thus if rate limiting is done by IP those behind the NAT are going to have a real bad time. It's true of all NAT setups, but the affected audience size for GCNAT could be outrageous
- Content getting cut was a limitation of iframe. Most blogging platform don't allows you to embed another page. This was best I could do given the limitation.
- I do use AI to bounce ideas, but a lot of effort went into getting the apps working as intended.
Now that you have mentioned it should have been working principle or algorithm. It made sense in my head. English isn't my first language sorry about that.
