(Read the room, dude!)

I did not realize they had a free tier, thanks!

Is it kind of like unbound with a webgui then?

What does it do?

It’s like Dropbox but instead of the cloud, it’s at my house. Less expensive that way.

Not selfhosted but after I found catbox.Moe I haven’t had yo worry about sharing files.

Why is that, if I may ask? I’ve used both for years and personally I find Ubuntu has fewer footguns for a new user, and an easisr upgrade process.

I don’t get it, I thought it allows all browser with JavaScript enabled.

I’m a vim novice. I basically know just enough to save files or quit, paste with formatting, and “insert” changes. I think I used to know how to find within a file, and I’m sure I could learn again in an instant, but I haven’t had to do that in a long time for my noobish tasks. I know it is way more capable than that, but I haven’t had to learn more features yet since I use it at a ‘nano’ level.

I agree it only takes 3 minutes to learn these things, but personally it took me a bit longer to make them muscle memory.

I get it if someone were to be annoyed that things they knew how to do in another program they had to re-learn in vim, but this kind of thing it seems like you would just accept that you’re going to be frustrated and then put in the work to learn it so you can work more easily with your coworkers or whatever. Like you said, vim has serious advantages, and it seems a little short sighted to not be willing to learn from people that want to train you up in a tool to be more effective.

I was initially very concerned that you were trying to install a 13+ year old version of Ubuntu, 12.04 (Precise Pangolin). Now I just feel old.

I still like Ubuntu, as long as everything works, I recommend getting the LTS release.

So that’s like, reading all documents, writing stuff, and I assume it can also make outbound connections to servers?

The models seem to be getting worse at this one task?

Can anyone explain what this is

I’ll just add my 2¢

Tailscale is incredibly powerful and they do a lot of work to make their systems intelligible, but the learning curve is still pretty steep. But still a great option.

Could you use this to log into tailscale?

Adding to this, the eff certbot website has really great noob-friendly instructions which really helped me get set up.

To me it didn’t sound like complaining, just sharing that experience.

My gut instinct is to think, this is just a dumb person being mean on the Internet.

But upon reflection, no one would say this on yt, twitter, Facebook, etc. because people are sharing actual bullshit on there. You would be dunked on so hard for complaining about yt videos or just ignored. There would be no point in complaining.

On one hand it’s nice that Mastodon doesn’t have ads, and people usually don’t share bullshit, but does that logically result in attracting users who shit on someone for sharing a YouTube video, because sometimes other videos on YouTube are bad?

I like that Mastodon has actual conversations but I don’t like this guy being dumb.

I love storing 2FA in the password manager, and I use a separate 2FA to unlock the password manager
