smileyhead OP , to linuxmemes in Security

You know a more fitting comminity to post it?

smileyhead , to linux in Linux for Kids?

Don’t overthink this, it’s a kid. She/He would not be yet biased like you or your surroundings. About wife - I don’t she would be against teaching kid how a computer works, maybe you explained it so she heard “hey can our kid spend more time in front of a screen and with my geeky thing” :D.

I have a little smart sister (now 9 yo) that use Linux, it started with her making a mess on Windows login (parents laptop) so I asked if she wants “her own space”, but instead of new account I installed whole Fedora on second partition. Why Fedora? Because It works and looks nice, there really is no need for “educational”, just install education programs on top.
There are basic parental controls in vanilla Fedora, but honestly there turned out to not be needed, she don’t hook too much after first shock of tech and like two cries she learned to stop when we say to stop, at least most of the time. Depends on the child, I suppose some really need a timer, that’s up go you, nothing bad with that. I have showed her some games too, she loves everything Tux. I teach her how computer works this way, showing more and more programs with time and every new icon of Krita, GCompris, Goxel or Scratch is new great thing. She has Windows at school, but everything works on her space too. Well almost, LibreOffice does not has ‘online cliparts’, so instead of arguing with 9 year old I told that program at she uses at school is not available on this OS (after a while of teaching she knows OS is something something wow the desktop looks like :D) and showed how to download search copy from the browser. With being honest and just responding on every little childlish curiosity question she already knows more about computers than her mother. I just made it normal for her, as after using Linux for years it is normal for me.

smileyhead , to selfhosted in Syncthing ... where are the users?

Syncthing is not a cloud storage or tool for sharing. It can be used like this on a stretch, but it’s a continuous two-way synchronization tool.

I portrait it like this: select a folder on one device, select a folder on second device, Syncthing would keep their content synced as if there were one folder :).
This is in contrast to Nextcloud that needs central location and user, to rsync that is oneshot and not two-way.

smileyhead , to selfhosted in The Immich core team goes full-time | Immich

I love it. The only thing keeping me from switching is two-way sync. Or at least make apps updates edited photos.

I keep photos of the current year on my phone and all photos on my computer. That’s because I want to edit them or use. Unfortunetly Immich currently is typical black hole, where I am expected to download file from cloud manually, then edit, then delete original, then patch creation date and then upload it again.

etc.

smileyhead , (edited ) to linux in How can i do whatever I want to do ?

Hey hey, calm down :).

Some software is OK to install manually and natively, like Wordpress or Nextcloud, they require some things to get together but those two are just standard PHP apps after all.
But Jackett and Sonarr are software made of much more moving parts. And actually are quite badly packaged (if packaged at all). Their creators see manual install as ment mostly for developers while end user is expected to use containers.

Like other have said, learn Docker and Docker Compose (or overall containers). You’ll be able to spin up such services with just one line (or with just simple declaration in compose.yaml file). But don’t copy-paste, learn it because it’s worth it.

If you really really get stuck, there also is Yunohost, a Debian based system with web GUI and one click install scripts for selfhosted stuff. But it won’t be as nearly flexible and portable (moving between servers, having multiple disks, configurable backups…) like Docker, there is a reason why shipping server-grade software looks like that so don’t be mad at Linux, because on other systems installing scalable, server-grade things would look the same :P.

smileyhead , (edited ) to piracy in Just wanted to share this simple way to use kaspersky for free

I wouldn’t install it even if I would be paid.

smileyhead , to linuxmemes in What launching Battle.net through Steam feels like

Valve is great in terms of Linux support and it’s development, but to be honest I hate Steam launcher too. I do not use the store frontend, friendlist, notifications and other things on top, all I want is to download game binaries and updates.

smileyhead , to piracy in Tribler: Peer-to-Peer decentralized torrent client

Torrents: exists Anonymizing networks: exists

This program: xkcd.com/927/

smileyhead , to piracy in Tribler: Peer-to-Peer decentralized torrent client

Then why not just turn on I2P on regular torrents on regular clients like qBitTorrent?

smileyhead , to linux in What is the most popular Linux distribution on PC?

PC is a computer based on IBM PC compatible standard, so usually x86 processor architecture with compatible with it components.

The term is so common that in practical language people started to use it as a replacement of the “desktop PC” or overall anything that is not pocketable or Apple.

But I guess with such question from OP it does not matter, as computers at the edge of the definition (like x86 Android tablets) are in a fraction of percent and won’t matter in “what’s the most popular”.

smileyhead , to selfhosted in How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves?

I spend a huge amount of time configuring and setting up stuff as it’s my biggest hobby. But I got good enough that when I set something up it can stay for months without any mainainence. Most I do for keeping it up is adding more storage if it turn out to be used more than planned.

smileyhead , to technology in Net neutrality is about to make a comeback

As long as their internet can accept incoming connections 🤷. Something something end of available IPv4 addresses and years of putting customers behind layers of NAT.

smileyhead , to technology in What a TikTok Ban Would Mean for the U.S. Defense of an Open Internet

Internet ≠ Web and other stuff on the application layer. But I agree this stuff is important to fix.
