Just ideas of stuff to code or do or whatever. Gets struck through once I do it (like that's gonna happen)
  • Arch package build server
    • Instead of building locally, it sends a server a request to build a package, then the server sends back the built package, which is then installed.
    • The client is a yay fork.
    • EDIT: Actually, this should probably just be done as a basic script with makepkg and stuff.
  • An SSH replacement that's light on bandwidth. Compressed and everything, and that only loads what's on screen (plus a small buffer). Especially good for when you cat a huge log and have to wait for SSH to catch up with the 10k characters you just printed.
    • This already exists - mosh
  • archive.org clone - initial a backend only, frontend developed separately.
  • A Linux distro with the stability of RHEL, but with per-package-toggleable bleeding edge repos or an AUR-like thing. So by default it remains on super stable packages, but packages can be individually overridden to get the latest version or build them with an AUR-like system.
  • Akkoma-compatible fedi server and standalone akkoma-fe fork.
  • An Arch iso mirror but the isos are modified to boot silently, no beeper noises - could probably be done in half an hour with Drone or something.
  • activitypub server written as a minecraft mod, call that the fedi block
  • fully spec compliant implementation of the daytime protocol (port 13) that just prints the word "today"
  • port of distant horizons' chunk processing to another language for better performance
