    🛡️ Windows Hello™ style facial authentication for Linux

    Project mention: Introducing Biopass: Modern Multi-Modal Biometric Login for Linux | dev.to | 2026-02-27

    Historically, Linux has lacked a modern, unified equivalent. While the community has incredible tools like Howdy, it focuses exclusively on facial recognition, relies on CLI for management, and hasn't seen significant updates recently.

    đź’˝ Build Bespoke OS Images

    Project mention: FediMeteo: A €4 FreeBSD VPS Became a Global Weather Service | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-12-30

    For Linux this will vary between distributions and configurations. For example, based on some testing I did today using mkosi [1] (for reasons unrelated to this discussion), a bare-bones Fedora 43 installation uses about 130 MiB of RAM, while a Debian installation uses a little more than 100 MiB.

    IIRC last time I tried a bare-bones FreeBSD installation it used about the same amount of memory, maybe a little more based on how ZFS is set up.
