There are several apps/websites to learn touch typing from the start, you go from using 2 fingers in their proper places up to the whole hand with exercises that go up in difficulty over time, just do sessions of a few minutes each day and thats it.
my personal recommendation would be https://www.typingclub.com/
As far as I know, CasaOS (same as Cockpit) is installed on top of a default OS install, so you could always access the OS directly to install/configure things outside of it, if the need arises.
I would not say you would be held back by it, if it does what you need. And for what I can see online, you can install any docker container even if it’s not on the default catalog of CasaOS, or access the OS.
If you want to grow your knowledge of how things work, or how to deploy services without CasaOS, you can always do so in parallel of using CasaOS, so I don’t see where the issue could be.
Dislike: there is still no way to group communities into sub feeds, apart from subs, local, all. (and the work around some do of having multiple accounts seems silly to me)
You can do a local recording with zoom, you can have a meeting by yourself, share screen, and then position the camera where you want it, and record. when you finish the recording and the meeting, the file will be processed and saved on a local folder without doing anything else.
I consider that the easiest method.
Not an expert in this and someone can correct me or expand…
In the case of imgur or reddit, with embedded content like image previews or when following a link the destination site can know where you came from. Here a link that explains it better than I could.
In the case of Google, if you use chrome or search lemmy.world through Google and then click it from the search results, google knows
And if you don’t have any tracking protection via browser or extensions, there can be tracking using cookies for example.
Cloudflare is probably a false flag detected by this site
And in my particular case following your link it told me “No tracking detected on this site at present.” As seen in this image
Old laptop, Debian with docker running nextcloud, navidrome, jellyfin, gitea, librespeed, wireguard, dnsmasq, and nginx as a reverse proxy.
adding Quillpad, as another alternative
QR is just image to text, most QR reading apps I have used, show you the QR content before going to the website (or let you disable opening the link directly) so you should be able to check the URL or content and see if the link is legit or not.
But let’s be honest most people don’t know or don’t even bother and that’s the real problem.
I recommend DuckDNS as well, you can run it both sides and set up a daemon to update the domain when there is an IP change automatically.
And with Wireguard you can set up a tunnel between both locations so you can share anything you need.
I’m using Debian, with Docker and running Jellyfin, Nextcloud, Navidrome and Wireguard on Containers on my old laptop. So that would be my suggestion.
You could install CasaOS and/or Portainer, on top of Debian if you want an easier way to manage your server and containers.
If you are not behind a CGNAT, it should be as easy as opening the necessary ports.
I have a reverse proxy running in ports 80, 443 and can safely access Jellyfin on a subdomain without issues from outside my LAN.
Markdown (there are plenty of editors to chose from) + Pandoc (to generate the output in multiple formats), would be my recommendation.
Did you know https://m.lemmy.world?, voyager can be used on desktop.
I use my old laptop as a server, and so far no issues with leaving it on 24/7
Been doing the same, just leaving my password-store offline, for me this is enough.
For me personally, when you reach a level where you can think, and communicate in the non-native language (without doing mental translations back and forth) with enough ease and speed, no mater the topic at hand (meaning that even if you don’t know a technical or specific word you can make yourself understood), and even if you make grammatical mistakes or have an accent, the point of the conversation is not lost between participants, then you can consider yourself fluent enough on said language.
My native tongue is Spanish (could you tell if I didn’t mention it?), but I have consumed so much content throughout (and yes I did check how to spell throughout) my life only in English and practiced enough doing conversations both writing and speaking (even with an accent) on the internet that I can communicate with ease and be understood.
I have visited the United States a handful of times for around a month for vacations with family, so I can say that I had to communicate with native people outside the internet now, but I haven’t had any formal education except a few very basic English courses in high school.
I don’t even know if there is a country where you are obligated to financially support a parent or even a brother under any circumstance.
If you support a parent or a direct sibling, it is only because you want to do it and, as others have said, should be done only if it’s financially possible for you without sacrificing your wellbeing, decent living condition and future.
My dad left my mom when I was around 6 years old (I’m in my early 30 now), that person is just related with me by “blood” but he never supported me or my mom financially or in any other way. If he came to me now asking for any type of help, I would refuse without question. On the other hand, I owe everything I am to my mother, she sacrificed everything to give me the best path she could by herself. She is now close to retirement and in my country there is no way to live off savings or pension due to very hi inflation, so I will support her from that point forward in every way I can, but this is only because I feel that doing so is a way to be grateful of her taking care of me on her own and I want to give her back now that I’m able to.
Ubuntu (can’t remember if it was 6 or 8) was the first distro that I used, my cousin and another family friend used it and I got interested and asked to have it installed on my home desktop.
For years, every LTS release of Ubuntu I installed as dual boot to try and experiment for a few weeks and then uninstalled it, using Windows for everything.
2 years ago, I decided that I wanted to try other distributions and to switch and use Linux as my daily driver, so I installed Manjaro on my laptop and I have been using it daily since.
You could do this perfectly with the docker version, so just curiosity here, why not user docker?
Is it because you don’t want to install docker for only Immich? (you could also install other selfhosted server/apps as bonus),
would you be against snap? As someone already mentioned, there is a snap version.
If the important thing is having backups of your photos, there are alternative apps with different packaging formats.
You could make a request for flatpak, and see if other users also would like it, but you would have to wait for feedback from devs and understand if they don’t have the resources or willingness to maintain it.
If I’m interested in a specific app, I see what packaging formats it has and see how to install it and try it out. Only if I’m having issues with it (that can’t be solved), or can’t run it on my specific distro with the available packaging formats, I try to suggest/request a different format.
