  • if that’s all you need it to do: browser, kitra, libreoffice and not much else… any mainstream distribution will work.

    fedora’s ‘atomic’ distributions tick your boxes. minimal terminal exposure, hard to break, and infrequent demands of user password.

    silverblue (gnome) or kinoite (kde). kde is a traditional desktop experience, but gnome would be excellent for your rather basic set-up.

    rotisserie chickens are bred for that purpose and their lives are cut short to meet the cost and weight targets of the largest customers (walmart, etc), which means the facilities can produce ‘more’ in the same amount of time than roasters. they cost $6-10 here and $5-6 on sale (higher $ is at the regional convenience store chain, lower is wm), and i can frequently find ‘old’ ones in the cooler at wm marked down to $2 (yea, just two bucks each).

    roasters are larger, priced by weight, and usually cost more (per bird) than rotisserie chicken. here, they’re $10-12 at wm, $15 and up at the ‘local’ grocery store. they’re rarely on sale.









  • take a look at endless os.

    https://www.endlessglobal.com/foundation/access/operating-system

    specifically, the ‘full’ install with all the goodies and content ‘preinstalled’.

    notes from personal experience (i use endless at home): don’t be tempted by the ability to install alongside windows and dual boot. it’s not optimal by any stretch. that configuration uses windows as the boot manager (windows has to basically boot to get to that menu), and endless and its data is then stored in a loop device (slow, especially with old hdd). do a normal install (use the ‘advanced’ option in the windows installer to make an ‘endless usb stick’ then choose the ‘full’ image). you will need a 64gb flash drive for an english language ‘full’ installer of the current (6.0.8) version.





  • the form itself is easy, it’s the bot detection and spam prevention that’s hard. on my own sites, i’ve given-in and use the highest-level recaptcha, a hidden form field triggered by bots but not humans, and a server-side script for the mailing that also has some spam detection routines. they still get through, but far less often than a naked form would.

    if you’re satisfied with your existing comments function, can you simply enable comments on your ‘contact’ page and hide them from public view?
