   I watched this video (shared by @mayank on the currently broken 🦋 site) because "Build things because you can" is such a good attitude.

   But at 3:56 they start talking about the complexity of hosting simple web projects. Jake has a project of a little box they can have at home to host simple things with minimal effort and less worries, and wow there is a lot of overlap there with https://dropserver.org

     @teleclimber yeah no, Linux is part of why it feels daunting. i'm very much a GUI person, i avoid the terminal whenever i can lol.

     i'm pretty sure my rpi is 32-bit (that's what it came with, and i don't want to change it bc i already use it for my Plex server).

     at least Node runs fine on it. but i still need to figure out how to serve multiple static websites and run multiple Node servers on different ports in the proper way.

     this is what Jake was getting at with "it requires upfront work".

     @mayank Are you a regular Linux user? Because if not I can definitely see it as daunting. It's one reason I want to make Dropserver installable on Mac and eventually Windows, ideally with a GUI only and no config file. Being forced to use an unfamiliar OS to do an unfamiliar thing is just double the pain.

     Regarding Deno it should run on a 64 bit Pi. They have builds now as of earlier this year:

     @teleclimber this was the video that got me tinkering with my raspberry pi. i want to host simple client-only websites that solve very specific problems for me.

     as a frontend developer, i still find it a bit daunting tbh. it's easier for me to deploy to serverless platform 😅 i don't think my rpi can even run deno
