When sleeping, I always wear a long pyjama trouser, otherwise the blanket touching me keeps me up.

some things seem to have duplicated in there, i will clean it up now.

My smallest python program was for filtering wifi names according to patterns. I hab collected some wifi names atomatically via sone other programs, and had them sitting in a text file with one name per line (a very simple data format). I wanted to find interesting names out of it, but didn't want to spend much time scrolling through hundreds of names following the same pattern, like ISP-12C5, ISP-3F4B, ... So i invented my own pattern syntax for very simple patterns, (ISP-%4Ax for ISP- followed by 4 hexadecimal digits with only capital letters), and wrote up a python script that read patterns from a file, and then filtered the standard input against those patters. any line not matching any pattern was then printed.

In short it was a small project that i wanted to do, with simple data formats that i could easily parse and relatively simpel logic that i had ideas how to implement while designing the patterns. And i had some data to test it on.

So my advice is similar to the other people here: look for things you are interested in or you need that sound simple to program, and then go on and program one of them. No problem is too small to make a program for.

If you click links in the readme (i only tried the last two ones) you get a dmca takedown message.

Sounds just like git (unless you do some special operations to change the copies)

It will be used just for file storage. But what exactly do you mean by "lighter hardware"? april said anything more than a raspi, so better than the quad-core Arm Cortex A76 processor @ 2.4GHz from the raspi 5? (ik that truenas is for x86 and not arm)

You can just not git add the one file on the secondary drive when it is not connected. This schould not be that much overhead and (at least for me) it is much simpler than any other solution. Ps: Why do you want that one config file on the external drive and not on the main one?

Ps: i haven't documented all the cursedness yet.

It also only works for the main module and only until you hit the recursion limit.

I already wanted to switch since i disliked the privacy issues, and then once my laptop got too slow for windows (1 min in a call/video before i got sound), i replaced the hdd with an ssd and installed linux mint, which i still use.

Would changing the biome to rived help?

You need to do that, it is actually a bug that was fixed in a snapshot two weeks ago: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-131646 So it won't be in 1.20.1, but in 1.20.3 when it is released. You could search if a mod backports/also adds that fix.

Most apps worked out of the box. It feels like gimp is a little bit (very tiny) slower at starting. For OpenTTD i had to manually add the x11 access in flatseal. And for osu! it is the only way i can play the current version, and that just works.
