I built a cute lil server using a refurbished office PC, a DAS, and ZimaOS.
ZimaOS has been a very cool and well designed experience, even though it's Linux.

tried to install ZimaOS on an ancient laptop that I wanted to turn into a music server, but it doesn't work because it doesn't support UEFI (yes it's that old)

@zimaspace.bsky.social's ZimaOS has a way to add pre-configured container repositories. I'd love to see one with lots of atmospheric services like pdsmoover, pdsls, tranquil, bsky-pds, all easy to install on ZimaOS home servers.

Well, thanks to @dammitjeff.com I've been just about successfully nerdsniped into giving ZimaOS a shot on my server. Been rolling Mint XFCE on it but ZimaOS looks so much more purpose-built and more what I'm looking for.
(Man, where was this video several weeks ago when I was setting up?! Ha.)

Something I've been doing all of a sudden is ripping CDs and getting those delicious FLAC files like it's the 2000s and I'm loving it.
Would be ideal to get an automatic ripping machine working on my ZimaOS environment but that will take a lot of extra doing. God I love Foobar 2000 though 😤

ZimaOS started with a simple idea: make self-hosting easier, so more people can keep their photos, files, apps, and backups on hardware they actually own.
Thank you to everyone who helped us get here. ❤️
