D’oh.

Yep. My b. WordPress or bust, really. You can mess around with drupal or Joomla, but WordPress will be the lowest barrier to entry for self hosting.

I agree, I only include it as a “woah this WordPress stuff is confusing!” lower barrier to entry.

Try WordPress first. If they’re absolutely stuck, wix is a lot more beginner friendly. But yes, beware of the downsides to having your hand held.

Use WordPress. It’s by far the most used content management platform, so if you’re a beginner, you’ll find the most resources. It’s also free and open source.

Then you can, if you want to make it even easier, use a page builder like Elementor or Divi or something. Or not.

There’s also Wix for very simple page builds.

Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?

The whole anti Google holier than thou is annoying at these levels.

Ok fine, don’t use Google. But telling your friends and loved ones to switch email providers over your crusade is worse than vegans telling you about their diet.

I’m all for kicking Google to the curb. I’m not for shoving my beliefs down other people’s throats.

Man, I don’t know. I wanna know too.

I got a refurb drive in 2019 that has been clicking and rumbling a little to moderately for 6 years now. Great value at this point, but it’s replacement is gathering dust…

Yesterday:

<nav script="dropdown.js" style="dropdown.css">
  <button onclick="toggleDropdown()">Menu</button>
</nav>

Today:

// index.js
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './global.css';
import App from './App';

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')).render(<App />);

// App.jsx
import Dropdown from './components/Dropdown';
import './App.css';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <main>
      <Dropdown />
      <p>Hello, world!</p>
    </main>
  );
}

// components/Dropdown.jsx
import { useState } from 'react';
import styles from './Dropdown.module.css';
import ArrowIcon from '../assets/icons/ArrowIcon.jsx';

export default function Dropdown() {
  const [open, setOpen] = useState(false);
  return (
   <div className={styles.dropdown}>
      <button onClick={() => setOpen(!open)}>Menu <ArrowIcon /></button>
      {open && (
        <ul>
          <li>Option 1</li>
          <li>Option 2</li>
        </ul>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

Having 0 documentation doesn’t mean you have no DLP strategy. That’s amateur hour.

And again, NB: this does not scale.

I operate on the philosophy that it is better for me to relearn things than lean on old documentation that may no longer be accurate/relevant.

The best way to implement a safe connection to my home lab today might not be the safest way tomorrow.

Old dog, new tricks, etc.

Also! Your documentation is an attackers wet dream.

NB: this philosophy doesn’t scale.

It is ok to admit you are wrong.

Jesus Christ, your obnoxious.

Blocked.

I’m done arguing. Not gonna respond to whatever fedora fanboy nonsense to follow.

Ubuntu holds around 30 percent of the Linux desktop market. Fedora sits around 1 to 2 percent. Ubuntu focuses on Long Term Support stability, massive community documentation, seamless hardware driver support, and minimizing breakage for new users. Fedora deliberately pushes bleeding-edge kernels, experimental libraries, and rapid changes that regularly introduce breakage. Beginners do not need the newest kernel version or experimental features. They need stability, predictability, easy troubleshooting, and access to a massive community when things go wrong. Fedora is excellent for intermediate users who know how to fix their own problems. It is irresponsible to recommend a testing ground distro to someone who is still learning how to use the terminal.

If Fedora were actually a good beginner distro, it would dominate beginner spaces like r/linux4noobs, It does not. Fedora is respected, but it is not designed for beginners. Even Fedora’s own documentation assumes technical competence that a first-time Linux user will not have.

It is objectively not a good distro for beginners. Not even Fedora thinks it’s a good distro for beginners. Your arguments make no sense. I certainly don’t care to hear anymore of them.

Good day.

It is a testing ground for new features. It is literally one of the worst beginner distros. Shit breaks constantly. That is not good for beginners. Just because you like it doesn’t make it good for beginners.

We’re not talking about what distros are good. We are talking about what is good for beginners.

Would absolutely not recommend fedora as a first distro.

Yeah, I don’t recommend settling on it, but I stand by learning on it. It will be the most frictionless. It’ll ease you into resolving hairy problems in a way that is less discouraging, because they’re not quite as hairy.

Ubuntu. Many will disagree but, Debian flavors are a way smoother experience from the start and Ubuntu has a ton of community support. You’ll rarely find an issue no one found and solved before you.

if you want total control

You literally just moved the goalposts.

But, sure, ok… your NAS can be simply 1 16TB HDD in a server that does a dozen other things already, assuming its generally always available on your network. That’s roughly what I do (with redundancy).

Synology is made for the tech literate tech idiot.

They solve one problem and create a dozen more. That problem not only doesn’t need a physical solution, it doesn’t need to be a standalone device. It doesn’t need its own shitty proprietary operating system.

Anyways. Fuck them.

No, you did your math wrong

Also, something about politics.

(Just kidding. This is neat 😎)

Go to your local precinct and threaten the officers with a good time and let us know how they react.
