The sort of program that once set up, just ticks along without fuss or bother forever.
For me, as I’m replacing the vms today which I set up five years ago and haven’t needed to touch since;
- HAProxy
- KeepaliveD
Not easy to learn, but once they’re running, they both go on forever.

Just it always makes you wait for ~3 min and shows: … wait for something to be Configured (25s / no limit). :-)
If that happens to you, maybe you should open the logs and figure out why it is happening.
The other thing has logs too…
Debian and basically everything in its repos. Might be somewhat old, but it is really fucking stable
My small selfhosted system appreciates this very much. Having Debian as my base OS makes everything easier.
Total agreement. So many unsung heroes involved in Debian. Work has agreed with me - today’s job involved migrating those load balancers to Debian underneath.
Anything from Debian. I even run Debian-Testing, and it’s rock solid. Also, Linux mint, on my other partition.

Linux
It ‘was’ uCollage, but whiny, obnoxious, ungrateful LiGNUts ruined it like many other unpaid softwares by driving a critical developer (Ueberzug) to quit or sellout.
Many LiGNUts probably work for Microsoft, because Microsoft gains when they cause issues, and mislead and lie to people.

Syncthing. Absolutely ace bit of software. I remember it being a little questionable in 2013, but today it performs exactly the same task, just more reliably. Love it.
Good shout! I use syncthing myself to sync all my useful stuff between multiple devices seamlessly.
Yep I love it. It’s how I keep my password manager synced between devices. It can be finicky to set up but just works without thinking after that.

The OS itself, Debian. If I have to pick a component, Mate Panel. Compared to the Windows 11 start menu, it’s useful, customizableand has no ads. My IT department at work can’t even figure out how to remove the Windows 11 start menu ads from my computer.
Debian!
