    My process for project identification has been:

    1. Be annoyed at ads/payment structure/whatever in some app or service
    2. Search https://alternativeto.net/ for alternatives to the thing I’m annoyed with (filtering by Open Source and my devices)
    3. Try out 1-2 of the top alternatives
    4. Settle on what service I want to run
    5. Install, route the subdomain, etc. if necessary (otherwise just access via my tailnet)

    As for how to deploy, docker / podman are great! With podman I’d recommend looking into their systemd integrations too. Incus is a neat LXC option too, meant more for longer term services (less micro service focused, good and bad).

    Hope this helps!

    No doubt, you make some great points.

    I agree that finding steel frames with magically unscratchable lenses probably aren’t realistic :) I also agree that treating a pair well is the best bet at making them last. The pair that I just broke was my first time splurging on a nice pair of sunglasses and being intentional about treating them well. They lasted me for over two years and I was very happy with them!

    The more I see promises like Waterhaul though, I wonder if their Osprey-style guarantee would be nice to have. They have a lifetime guarantee on replacing their frames (probably banking on most people losing theirs rather than breaking them) on top of using recycled materials. Obviously this would not include replacing lenses. Seems like it’s at least half way to being a good route?
