He’s mine! I saw him talk when he came to our community center. It was refreshing having a politician who seemed ready to actually make positive change. Because after our last system of government, we definitely need it.

Thanks!

I have one as well and love it. It reads like my paperwhite, writing is easy and comfortable and has a pretty decent handwriting to text ability. I’ve found marking up and/or signing PDFs to be a great bonus feature I didn’t think about when I got it. Overall very happy with it and running Android, I can do pretty much everything I want with it.

You have a CNAME record that points service.my.domain to machine-that-hosts-caddy.ts-domain.ts.net, and with tailscale enable it hits the caddy server and then reverse proxies it to the machine:port of “service”? Which may or may not be the tailscale IP address and port?

Oh 100%. It was so easy to type and/or Swype back then. I remember complaining in the late teens how it had gotten much worse.

I mostly use it to keep track of what I read as opposed to a social media platform. I do follow some people that are on the same instance but mostly on the off chance anything looks interesting.

No! We should court the center vote! It worked in the 90s and it’ll work again any day now!

I’m more or less happy with weather here in the PNW. Not that cold and wet in winter, not that hot and dry in summer. Of course with climate change, ACs are now needed and it actually snows in winter, but traditional weather patterns agreed with me.

I remember that! But yeah, it didn’t make any sense back then either.

Saw an article the other day about how Texas is the most disaster prone state, while simultaneously being the most against any sort of disaster preparedness.

Dumbfucks.

We all got to learn somewhere!

Lot of good advice here, but sometimes people forget what it’s like to be a beginner. Since you don’t know what you’re doing, I would recommend not trying to host things on your home server and access it from the outside world. That usually involves port forwarding on your router, and that comes with a lot of risks, especially if you don’t know what you’re doing. Others have mentioned it, but a better option when you’re starting off is to rent a vps and host your software there.

Squarespace might work, but my guess is it’ll be easier to transfer your domain elsewhere. You can follow guides for that online and it’s pretty straightforward.

Having a vps, a domain name, you’re most of the way there. On your vps, you’ll want to install a reverse proxy, which is what routes incoming urls to the right place (nextcloud.domain.tld goes here, calendar.domain.tld goes there).

Docker is another thing I’d recommend learning as a lot of what you’ll self host will likely be in a Docker container. I’d watch a few YouTube videos to see how it’s done. This channel has some great videos, and there are others out there.

It seems like a lot, but learn a little here and there and don’t expect to have this all working overnight. You’ll get there!

Yeah, I just don’t know how we come back from this. It’s not like the sane among us are suddenly going to decide to go along with fascism, nor is that 30+% that somehow control the narrative going to stop being the literal worst all of a sudden (see: post-Reconstruction).

So we… Balkanize? Hold US Nuremberg trials and actually do something about the priblem, assuming we can get to that point?

Same with the Misskey clones. There have been some very dramatic opinions on both sides.

No, I’m one of the special ones he won’t turn on! The leopard won’t eat my face!

Do they all have main character syndrome and think plot armor will save them?

Nextcloud got too bulky for me, and in my search I tried a number of different options before installing OpenCloud without realizing it isn’t fully finished yet. That said, it still works well enough for my use case.

Like OP said, you can get Plasma on Bazzite, as well as install it right on a SteamDeck if you have one. It’s constantly being updated, and if gaming is your main driver, Bazzite goes out of its way to make things work. In theory you wouldn’t have to do any tinkering to get games running, with the added bonus that you won’t be messing up or introducing any entropy to your system files. If something does go wrong, you can reboot into the previous release and it’ll be back to where you just came from.

There’s still plenty to learn if you want to, it’s just not the traditional Linux distro setup.

Tailscale is great for not opening your ports to the internet. Having it playable on a friend’s appletv adds some extra complexity. Reverse proxy on a subdomain with something like fail2ban would work, but it does leave you more vulnerable.

No, as an expert on not knowing what the fuck he’s doing, he’s just confirming.

No! It worked in the 90s! It’ll work again any day now!!

Also, we make too much money, so no.

Can’t help with saved game data, but Bazzite is a solid choice, not just because it’s a gaming based distro. It’s one of the immutable distros, so all the important stuff that keeps it running, you can’t mess with (easily). And all your personal stuff that doesn’t keep the computer running, it doesn’t touch. So your computer is always up to date ( faster than steamOS, and if something goes wrong, just reboot into the previous) and you can’t screw it up without trying.
