My idea is to allow premium users to have third-party apps that can be more customizable. Google barely has to lift a finger, premium would get more popular, and the experience would be so much better.
I never knew the word was used as a slur or had sexual connotations. I thought it was a verb akin to “nerf” or “cripple”, as in “Windows 11 gimped the taskbar functionality.” I guess this word is still bad, as I want to enhance, not “gimp,” my pictures.
That’s it? That’s like at most $50 per person. And remember, money that is sent to the poor will be reinvested into the larger economy through increased consumption, or more sales for the employers.
Maybe I should just cloud host, as it costs the same as a VPN. But then again, a VPN will also protect my privacy. Do I need to use let’s encrypt if I use a VPN or cloud host if I want to be secure?
I want it to be internet accessible. A friend taught me how to use nginx for the local network, although I’ve forgotten that now.
My previously mentioned computers are computers I don’t use that much, especially the old laptop. My main computer is a 2021 ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition. I won’t be hosting from that.
Private networking is just hosting over a LAN, right?
Does Docker work well on old hardware and is Docker easy to learn?
I have the most knowledge on Ubuntu based distros. I don’t think Manjaro, a bleeding edge rolling distro, is good for hosting.
How do I use let’s encrypt or something to boost my security?
I think of myself as technically inclined. I have installed Linux multiple times and have basic command line knowledge, and I've programmed in many languages, with the most experience making a static website game using HTML/CSS/JS.
Additionally, I own the superspruce.org domain (my registrar is Dynadot), but I don't really know how to wield the power of owning a domain. I also have some spare computers to be used for hosting, a 2009 laptop running Lubuntu and a 3900X+32GB RAM desktop other running KDE Neon, but I'm also open to experimenting with cloud hosting too (I know, sacrilege here).
However, I don't know much about the TCP/IP protocol or other networking protocols. I'm happy to learn, but the curve would need to start gently.
I would want to try hosting my websites, and also a personal non-federated Lemmy instance to serve as a archivable forum for my games. Even if it's not very useful, it's great experience.
Can we have a la carte payments back? I don’t pirate movies/tv because I barely watch any movies/tv, but the only time in the past year I paid for one was when I could rent it for 48h for $4. I hate subscriptions and would rather just pay once per every time I watch.
Most of my music is “pirated” because you can’t find it on any streaming platform, it’s usually a YT download, often for game OSTs (often ones I own a copy of), and offline play allows stuff like Music Speed Changer to change the pitch and speed of the music!
100 times this.
I think I have a solid grasp of C++ and its manual memory management, but give me a build error and I’ll have zero clue how to fix it.
