Alright I've got myself a 1GB RAM VPS for $12 for the year (a 4x increase over the Pi 😆). It's in London and everything for super low latency! I managed to get installed through some hackery and migrate my blog and instance to it.

One slightly weird thing I had is that inbound traffic on both SSH and HTTPS was returning a "connection reset by peer" for a while. It seems to be working now, but if some IPv6 folks can check https://cablespaghetti.dev loads properly over v6 for them now, it would put my mind at rest.

    Chimera Linux has been using apk 3 for a long time. That's helped expose a few bugs, so hopefully the Alpine switch is smooth.

      apk-tools 3 was merged to edge. Hold on to your hats!

      Some of the new things are listed here:

        Updating from my laptop... because typing on the shell is really challenging/unforgiving both in terms of latency and accuracy.

        I was not a fan of , especially with the bottom address bar, so I used console to install via:

        $ doas apk add epiphany

        Not only does epiphany look better on the phone, but it also allows me to install web apps, which I did for , a web-based client.

          I couldn't figure out how to add my account to the Chats app, so that's why I fell back to using

          That said, I'm surprised the weather app worked... because it doesn't on normal o_O.

          I'll try to add my calendar and contacts later and see if I can make an actual phone call... crazy stuff :}

            We'd like to welcome @fossdd and Mio as new Alpine Linux developers.

            We really appreciate all the work they and the rest of the community have done.

              We talked about the roadmap for 3.23 yesterday. So far we have:

              - apk-tools 3.0
              - gcc 15
              - python 3.13
              - improve/clean up Alpine user handbook (we need volunteers for this)

              See
              gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/ if you want help or have things you are working on that should be included.

                We are planning to update apk-tools to 3.0 in edge repository on July 1, 2025.

                We are keeping the apk 2 index and package formats for now, so everything *should* just work, but scripts parsing the output of apk may need to be adjusted.

                  Time for another blog post, about hosting a fediverse instance on my ancient Raspberry Pi. Obviously I had to share it on the fediverse.

                    Here's a blog post on setting up Alpine Linux on my old 256MB Raspberry Pi in diskless mode and having it host a static site (and now my blog). I'll write up another on how I got Snac installed to have it host my fediverse presence over the next few days. Enjoy!

                      Part of running a instance on a 256MB Raspberry Pi is working out how to do "stuff" without installing more packages than you have RAM for.

                      Here's a script to backup to Backblaze B2 with just Jq as an additional dependency (and the included curl, tar, openssl etc.). It works so far...
