  • There are many options, but I’d say on those specs anything will run more or less fine with some tweaks/settings.

    Personally I would go with KDE Plasma, because I feel most comfortable with it. It can be pretty light on system ressources when configured properly. Disable all the visual stuff (animations, blur, anti aliasing) and some of it’s background modules (baloo and some other stuff that you personally don’t need).

    But you should take the one you are familiar with and find out how you can tweak it to be more light. Cheers





  • With a Blazor (serverside mode) project you could have that with a nice user experience. Blazor has a tiny js which initializes something, otherwiss it renders the site on the server and sends the component updates to the browser, so the whole site does not need to reload, only the relevant components (which is kind of interesting).

    Maybe there is some blazor serverside e-commerce project out there, I wouldn’t personally recommend it though.



  • For the site itself the most minimal thing you can do is an html file.

    Then some software to act as the “server” that serves that file to a visitor. (nginx, caddy, apache - there are many options).

    And your domain needs a domain record which points to your server.

    As you want to use a home pc, you need to figure out whether your ISP gives you a dynamic or static IP.

    If static, you can just use that.

    If dynamic, you’d need some service like dynDNS to keep pointing your domain to your changing IP.








  • Well, as far as I know, the open source seeds are not that great. It is not commercially viaible to switch your agriculture business to them. Maybe only a tiny plot for marketing campaigns like the “open source bread” some bakeries want to sell.

    I’d love to see some billionaire hire a bunch of plant biologist to develop modern, high performing, commercially viable seeds and open source them instead of milking the cashcow.

    The opensource seeds project does not reject gen tech per se. but since they don’t have that kind of money, all the seeds they develop are made through old school breeding of outdated seeds that are not commercially licensed.

    But I think the idea is not only very important but also really interesting.
