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

Another copy. Would have been crazy if it was the exact copy I had.

I was at a used bookshop the other day and found the same Caldera Open Linux 2.2 book and cd that I used to install my first linux distro on a pc. Man that was exciting!

Super!

I feel this

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.

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.

Found it. Thank you!

100% this. Everything else is just a distraction meant to divide us so we cannot effectively act against them.

No. Your best bet is with something like privacy.com or mysudo.

Edit: grammar

+1 for proton. Been using them for years now.

If it’s a MacBook that no longer gets updates from Apple then it’s probably from around 2014ish, and is definitely an Intel Mac. This is a great candidate for Linux. If you want an environment that is similar to Mac, go with gnome as the desktop environment. Outside of that, any of the major distributions should be fine. I’ve run KDE Neon, Ubuntu, and am currently running fedora on a 2014 iMac and all of them worked without issue.

Color me shocked that a meta product is sacrificing trust so the line continues to go up.

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but mysudo may work for what you want to do.

I am like you, and love the idea of starting up a food truck business. I wouldn’t do it unless I was already wealthy enough to just pour money into it, hire people to deal with the admin, and leave me the fuck alone to cook.

I ran my own (non food) business for a decade. My experience is anecdotal. I don’t pretend I reflect the reality of running your own business, but it fucking sucked.

I spent so much fucking time on admin. I worked 80+ hour weeks, for what amounted to less than minimum wage. After a decade I burnt out and shut it down and now I work a dumb job that I give no fucks about and cook at home with my wife for us and for friends for the sheer pleasure of it.

Edit: my business was based on something I loved to do, and I hated all of the “business” parts of the business.

How could that possible be relevant to what’s happening here in the USA? /s
