I haven’t looked at yunohost in years now. It was my first attempt at self hosting, but I realized as soon as I deployed a service with it that I wanted to learn all the details of hosting rather than use a push button sort of setup. No hate at all towards using that, I just realized I wanted to get my hands dirty right away.

I think CasaOS is a popular one. Another one I recall is YUNO Host

Ah. Yeah. I think then you’ll want to look into cloudflare tunnels. I believe that should get you through the cgnt and deal with the dynamic IP ll in one go.

You can deal with the non-static IP by using duckdns.org

are you looking for a google drive replacement? or a tool to sync google drive to your linux/kde system?

Super!

I feel this

It’s super nice. I still often type out the full path, but it sure is nice when I’m going levels deep to just type the destination directory and be there.

I don’t have a lot of customization, just a few tweaks to make things a little more pleasing to me.

I’m a bash guy, and I like the Dracula theme, I currently use gnome and gnome terminal with Dracula, but soon plan to try out Hyprland and Sway.

My command prompt customization is also minimal,

Outside of those visuals, the biggest customization is that I use zoxide for directory navigation instead of cd (I have the command aliased to zd).

edit: spelling

youruser:youruser just means the user’s group. For instance, on my fedora 40 install, my user (bippy, just a silly name), is the username for my user, but also the name of the group that my user belongs to.

So when I do a chown, I typically do chown -R bippy:bippy path/to/directory

If you wanted to give permissions to a different group on your system, but also to your main user, you could do a chown -R bippy:wheel /path/to/directory (wheel is an example group name, which is similar to sudoers)

It’s not that Linux can’t do what you specify, but that it may not do it in the way you require, which is based on your windows experience. Lots of what you describe can be done

For example, using command line tools like sed, rename, ffmpeg, find, etc…, you can do all of the text manipulation you can imagine.

But you also specify that you want gui wrappers, and in all likelihood, there are gui wrappers for what you want to do, but to meet your exact specifications, maybe not.

If you’re willing to do some adapting, which it sounds like you are, the. I think you can pretty easily adapt to Linux, as it’s perfectly capable of handling your high level requirements. It’s in the minutiae of how those requirements are met that is in question.

Awesome!

You could write yourself a bash script to do this.

Element/matrix does indeed have a web version. You can use https://app.element.io, or you can self host the web client.

Apple is definitely just as fucking terrible.

As the other commenters said, “district” was an autocorrect typo. I meant distro/distrubution.

I can’t speak to what’s wrong with the fan, but if you use imager and write a supported distribution to the sd card, you can see if the fan works again, and/or try troubleshooting again.

Also, consider that it could be a hardware issue. The fan could just be dead. Hardware fails, and you should try to rule that out.

Yup. Autocorrect got me

Definitely a typo. Stupid autocorrect

You need a different distro for the raspberry pi, which has an arm processor. The easiest way to do this is to use the Raspberry Pi imager. From within the app you can select a number of different os options, and if you’re looking for something with a desktop environment, start with raspberry pi os, or Ubuntu, both of which can be selected in the app.

Edit: fix autocorrect error

Found it. Thank you!
