docs(website): ship the two update bullets — validated on VM today
End-to-end validation of the per-app container update and the Furtka
self-update ran green on VM 192.168.178.128 this afternoon (26.0-alpha
→ 26.3-alpha → rollback → reboot). Both flows are real — promote the
drafted HTML-comment bullets from _index.md and _index.de.md into the
visible "What works today" list.

The "plain-English Wi-Fi story" was the only one the copy was missing
a truthful on-box outcome for, and it still is (for a moment here
a-few-days-ago, but the update story moved past that).

Matches the commitment in feedback_no_invented_content.md — we only
publish after confirmation.

Furtka Open-source home server OS — simple enough for everyone. <span class="mono">26.0-alpha</span> — work in progress

Furtka is an open-source home server OS. Boot from USB, click through a wizard, and any old computer turns into a private cloud for your household — with your own apps, your own name on the network, your own data.

The goal is simple: your dad should be able to set this up.

What's coming next

  • Apps for photos, files, smart home, game streaming and media
  • Plainer language in the setup wizard
  • Secure connection on your home network (no browser warning)
  • Linking several servers together

What works today

  • Boot from USB stick and install Furtka onto the hard drive
  • A wizard asks for name, user and network — done
  • Then: open the control page in your browser
  • First app: file sharing on the home network (everyone on Wi-Fi sees the folder)
  • Install and remove apps with one click
  • Update an installed app with one click (pulls the newest container image)
  • Update Furtka itself with one click — no reinstalling for new features

We're two people building it in public on evenings and weekends. It's early.
