Say you are working for a family member (helping your dad with his company or sth.). A colleague once had to go help his parents with their small company and no one questioned it a bit. No “better pay?” or “man you are moving far away!” just “oh, well good luck”.

Doesn’t look like it, but you can be the one writing one.

There are a lot of big ones like Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Fedora or Arch. Arch is for users with a little more experience. But funnily enough Arch has like child-distributions, that build upon its core. Ubuntu is also a ‘child’ of Debian an Mint builds onto Ubuntu.

It’s kind of like three or four big families, that had lots of children. 😂

(and then there are NixOS, OpenSuse and lots of others, which I forgot)

It has to do with Linux.

Linux itself is not a fully fledged operating system as most people would expect it. Since Linux has to work on servers and microchips as well as on desktop PCs, lots of stuff is not shipped with it.

For example Linux is missing a way to display windows and has no real package manager.

A distro (or distribution) is a predefined set of of software, that makes it easier for a user to use Linux.

This is mostly a window manager or desktop environment like KDE or GNOME, a package manager like apt or pacman and useful software like an office suite, a browser and other stuff.

Distros also exist for servers, the ln they don’t include a way to display images, but still have a package manager and other useful stuff preinstalled.

That’s of course not all, but maybe gives you a little overview.

I have rephrased the text.

Okay, I actually never tried that. Thanks.

Okay, I am intrigued and did not find anything right away. Can you give me a link?

Yeah, but I want to get rid of my wireless keyboard in favor of a small website/app for my phone.

Can I run Jellyfin on my laptop, but close it up and choose the video to watch via a different browser on my phone?

I don’t use obsidian. I use Joplin. It has nextcloud integration and works flawlessly.

For the rest (e.g. Tasks, Collaborate Office) I use DAVx5 and the nextcloud App to sync.

Doesn’t Nextcloud do all this?

I don’t really know, why it really HAS to be all that. I think that not a lot of people will have those specific set of requirements.

Also I really dislike the section about “solving not wanting to self host by making it federated” that is not how that works. Please host stuff yourself. Please support those who host your stuff. This part makes you sound cheap and stupid.

Pease be satire! 😐

Okay, the others are a little short for what you need.

Your VPN needs it’s own DNS. With that DNS you can route the traffic internally from the VPN subnet to the server. Then you can set the server up to only take requests from that subnet either via firewall or the reverse proxy.

This is the way! I also have a synapse with this ansible playboy up and running and it works like a charm.

Look into Periodical as well, it’s on fdroid and completely local. It also shows when the next period should be and works better than some closed source apps.
