Packages that cannot be accepted upstream: themes, icons, fonts, packages that are "too new" (think Zig 0.16 for example), anything that packages binary blobs, anything that maintainers refuse to accept like Brave browser, or even your own tools.

Just off the top of my head. The reason I started that repo in the first place was to get a Noctalia package that I can install across multiple machines.

    Been using Void for a while now, at home and at work, about 4 installs in total.

    I have my own packages repo which follows the official void-packages closely where I keep my custom templates, they get built by CI and signed, so on my void machines I simply add my repo to xbps config and get all my junk. Here's the repo: https://code.hosaka.cc/hosaka/vast-packages

    In addition, I rsync the official repo to mirror it on my server that syncs every few hours and my custom packages are build against that (see the CI workflow in the repo). This also has a benefit of being able to update the packages on my machines from my own mirror at much faster speeds.

    It took me a while to get things setup this way, but was worth it in the end.

    This is a solid advice. In the last Unreal Engine project that I was working, this is the approach I went for, entities handle their own input, with a few exceptions of course. Harder to find input handling but at least it's contained in a class the input actually needs to effect.

    I've been using coolify for in house services and databases at work on our own hardware, it works pretty well, albeit a bit difficult to get the initial setup going. So far it does the job.

    This was a really good read, I love how the author explains the whole story from the start and how it all started from a bit of tinkering with the hardware just for fun and grew into something bigger.
