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.

    Consider alternative ways to get it, e.g. static binary, other package managers e.g. am, AppImage, etc.

      Yeah, I only tried what I assume was the snap version, and then APT which I suspect redirects to installing the snap version (maybe not though since this is mint and not direct ubuntu?) In any case I have a few more tendencies towards LMDE which will probably make me end up there eventually.
