I gave one of my RPi's to my son to use as a PC for school (he has an xbox for games and media). So I was left with RPoD (my server
I am typing this now in vim via ssh to RPoA from an ipad pro), and RPoJ which had a hose d FreeBSD installation.
I reimaged RPoJ today to Manjaro Linux (an A rch based distro). I picked the minimalist i mage and am looking for something to do with it. I am going to be swapping this Pi out i n a few days as I ordered a new Raspberry Pi 3b+ and a 128gb uSD card. This is also my e xperimental test drive of Manjaro, to see if I want to use it on the new pi...
I have thought of installing nextcloud, but I just don't need it. I have an scp client o n my phone and can hit my external storage c onnected to my Pi's from anywhere. I use tex t files for everything so I dont need to bac k up apps. I really could do without my pers onal phone, as I rarely use it, except as a music player. I routinely rotate music on my phone with my master library on a large dri ve connected to one of the Pi's.
I think I am looking for something new to in tegrate with my usage pattern. RPoA has xorg and twm so, the new Pi doesn't need a gui. A good addition may be a cron based scp of m y home directories, www, and gopher (live an d chroot... man I need to get after finishin g that). I also monthly run a full dd image of each pi to an external device so they can be swapped like nothing happened. The sched uled scp would fill in the gaps.
I also want to screw around with netcat and create services to do useful things. Maybe a program with password protection that I cou ld hit using telnet that I could type a phlo g entry into, then it would trigger the html gen and git push/pull to RPoD?
Maybe an information harvester/agregator? Cr on and curl, massaged with sed for easy cons umption... ad free and clean. Maybe feed it URLs of www content and the ID the site uses for its main content div?
In any case, time available is limited, but there always seems to be time to mess around . Got some thinking to do.
