you could slap some kind of vnc solution in there… maybe hafta open a port on her router

i duct-tape a 22 to the side of the server with the trigger trip-wired to the wan port.

your move, iptables

my kids went their entire childhoods without suffering commercial-filled television (still dont)… its extends well past the pre-k stages.

cuz my kids are awesome, and most of the schools sucked. its cool, they were consistently the best performers.

they earned being treated like they might some day be adults.

its kinda crazy having your own personal netflix, right?

i originally used it so my kids could watch cartoons in school

im a simple user

I don’t really like watching things

then this shit aint for you. just because you can do something doesnt mean you have to want to do it.

im old and have been doing this for almost 30 years. long before jellyfin; my kids never suffered commercials, never had to worry about some streaming service going up or down. they never had to care whether some source had the show they wanted. even when away from home, they were streaming my shit.

my very large curated collection may be less random than some iptv streams, but sure as fuck is more reliable, dependable, quality controlled and well, i dont even need to have fucking internet access for my shit (my library) to work for me.

i get it. i ran my own server for 15 years… and i stopped ~ 8 years ago. it was just too annoying between the spam filtering and -todays-new-security-enhancement-

email is the one service im happy to pay someone to do… from a bunker in switzerland. google not required.

…but you cant not use email and function in the technological world of today. email isnt about communication any longer. its about security and authentication.

What to do other than installing nano and changing visudo?

suffer.

isnt the whole point we get to use the tools we want?

it sucks that this is the new normal.

People don’t subscribe to institutions with no credibility and don’t provide value in return.

ha, ok. have you met many people? id like to introduce you to an entirely fake valuation we call the “stock market”… where nothing is real and unfortunately for poor people, everything matters

you should know that local and state laws have been enacted specifically to prevent communal telcom services in many places

…because your politicians are bought and paid for. good luck.

the issue is that its very old. when running it, you will use a ton more electricity and be a lot slower than even a 5-8 year old unused retail box/workstation.

yes, you could throw ubuntu on there and it will work fine. then you could toss docker on there and play with some container apps for the kids maybe… like a mintecrafter server.

but, like i said, youd be better off digging a more recent workstation out of some garbage can and doing the same thing.

e. ha, just checked that is a desktop/workstaton box…i thought you were talkin a real HP server… they have much larger power requirements. that little box you have there would be fine for a little mini server for light apps.

welcome to 24 months ago… its a good time to pay attention, because things are now functional.

we said the same thing

kinda scary when ai slop becomes successful ai analysis

it kinda sounds like you failed to back them up and are attempting to restore them from a non-backup.

and yeah, pulling an integral, configured component and expecting it to just run fine seems kinda… psychotic.

might be a bit heavy for this, but ive been having fun with nextcloud… its caldav based, i think. ive got it syncin with outlook calendars and the mobile client seems to throw shit in my face as needed

havent really messed with the contact stuff though

Well… its for data driven anything…so in your case id prolly have a dash with all my services maybe I a list with ip/port and a red/green status… links to the admin piece of that service, etc… cert exp dates
