The cheapest one I know of is about $8 a month, so it should be affordable, even on a tight budget.

You can buy a super cheap cloud VM and use a (self hosted) VPN so it can access your own PC and a reverse proxy to forward all incoming requests to your own PC behind your school’s network.

It’s arguable whether this would violate their policy, since you are technically hosting something, but not accessible on the internet from their IP. So if you wanna be safe, don’t do this, otherwise, that could help you get started.

Yes, but then you’re not using IMAP.

If you’re using IMAP, the emails aren’t completely downloaded by Thunderbird, just the headers.

What I use for a lot of my sites is SvelteKit. It has a static site generator. If you like writing the HTML by hand, it’s great. Also HTML5 Up is where I get my templates. I made the https://nymph.io website this way. And https://sveltematerialui.com.

Backups and rollbacks should be your next endeavor.

If it doesn’t, I would consider that a bug in the router.

Routers are not particularly known for being free of bugs.

Ouch. xD

It’s super easy to create. And you distribute it on your own, so it’s basically like an installer exe on Windows. In my mind it’s one step above only offering source code.

My software, QuickDAV, is not in the AUR. It’s open source, and I release it only as an AppImage, because I am lazy.

The Firefox snap was the reason I left Ubuntu. (Or, the last straw, at least.) Fedora has been wonderful.

If you want cheap encrypted storage you can run a Nephele server with encryption and something like Backblaze B2.

The way I’ve done it is Ubuntu Server with a bunch of Docker Compose stacks for each service I run. Then they all get their own subdomain which all runs through the Nginx Proxy Manager service to forward to the right port. The Portainer service lets me inspect things and poke around, but I don’t manage anything through it. I want it all to be super portable, so if Ubuntu Server becomes too annoying, I can pack it all up and plop it into something like Fedora Server.

They can’t do 4K video. The best they can do is 1080p30.

I didn’t say Raspberry Pi Zero. Those are niche machines. They’re not fast enough to do general purpose computing.

2.4 times. But, who’s counting?

No. They emulate a keyboard, and use the keyboard shortcuts to do things in Windows. So they won’t work out of the box in Linux, but you can add each of the keys as a keyboard shortcut, then they’ll work.

I’d recommend the Pepper Jobs windows 10 gyro remote. I’ve got two of them because they’re so great.

Exactly. N100 mini PCs are like the Swiss Army Knife of computers. Almost as compact as a Raspberry Pi, and compatible with a lot more things.

I release a lot of my software in GitHub and I’m offended at how accurate this is.
