Self hosting search engines is very hard. The scraping, indexing and storage requirements are immense. You could definitely self-host a front end (with your QoL improvements), but the back end search engines (Bing/Google/etc) will be able to track you all the same.
I have no issue with tinkering, my issue is more when tinkering gets turned around into advice.
I think I would be happier if these communities/subreddits were a bit more explicit about “We are amateurs, for actual advice, go to X, Y, Z”.
Yes, some people absolutely take things way too far, and often unproductively.
Like the person who was trying to disable websockets. Or the people who will shun signal, but jump directly on the flavour of the month signal clone, which might be completely backdoored.
If you dont know what you are doing, randomly turning things on and off at best does nothing, at worst makes you even more signaturable/trackable.
Its good to educate yourself on various protections, but unfortunately, it requires a lot of careful research and understanding.
If they can be hidden, like in Windows, I dont really mind if every app has one. I’ll hide the ones I dont care about.
The app dock isnt visible by default, so thats a partitial solution, but I’d prefer to be able to access it directly without opening a menu or overview first.
Steam provides a quick launch menu, thats a good enough reason for me.
Technical issues are worth resolving, but I want the UI to remain the same as the windows one. Its a pattern that works just fine.
Does seem worse IMO. There is nothing wrong with the windows tray, should just copy that and call it done.

Is it actual server hardware? I’ve seen some very weird things with real servers that take ages to reboot (I was assuming it was self checking or something). Are you sure its hung, and not just very slow to shutdown/reboot?
Is there any serial/monitor output before the hang?
Up-to-date runtimes definitely makes sense, that is where docker shines.
Gitlab is obviously a bit overkill, but maybe you could just create some systemd timers and some scripts to auto-pull, build and deploy?
The script would boil down to:
cd src
git pull
docker compose down
docker compose up --build
Your welcome to steal whatever you can from the repo I linked before.
Its definitely not a lightweight solution. Is the pi dedicated to the application? If so, is it even worth involving docker?
Yeah, probably, but thats not very common is it? Normally you’d just let the docker daemon handle the start/stop etc?
Afaik, systemd has nothing to do with docker, except to start the docker daemon.
I think I have done almost exactly what you want to do, I use gitlab CI to build and deploy my application:

Gitlab is relatively heavy, so I dont know how it will go on a raspi (I run on a Intel nuc). You can run gitlab on a separate machine, and the CI runner on your Pi.
You really got dogpiled hard there, as if being corrected half a dozen times wasn’t enough, they had to downvote you to oblivion as well :(
Old kernels still run on it, it just won’t get new versions.
The reason Linux (and BSD) is perfect for old machines is that the source code is available, so anyone can maintain it if they want to. It doesn’t mean the core Linux team has to maintain it for them though.

I started reading and though this was someone who had lost their marbles, by target 2 I was hooked.
And next to his original, fully erect penis, was another one. Identical. Bio-engineered, apparently. He struck a pose.

None that im aware of. There are webscrapers, and I guess you could just webscrape and dump the results into a postgres db and use it to index. But I’m guessing you’ll eventually want something more tuned/custom? But even if it existed, there is the discovery problem. How do you find the sites to scrape? Bing and google both let site operators submit urls, but that isn’t gonna scale to self-hosting.
