I suggest to use sftp/ssh with rsync instead. Much more secure then FTP.

Have you seen the caps on some milk packs? Those are just evil.

To add to this. Take a look at the fog server project. It allows you to PXE boot and pull and push images in a automated way.

Personally I am using rocky Linux. I wonder how the 2 compare nowadays

You have been free for a while then i suppose.

It is a entire ERP/CMS suite. It might be to big for most when starting out. However, it allows for growth with the buisness.

Use I2P guys. The more the better. It is Foss and is 100 times better then any VPN. It is only a bit slower sometimes.

lol. I am the exact same. Trying to work around stuff and bypassing just about anything thought me how most things work.

i partially agree here. Comparing something like Nix vs Gentoo is like comparing cars and plains. sure their both vehicles but that’s about the it.

Arch linux? :) joke aside perhaps something with btrfs support is handy. you can easily rollback if something breaks. For parental control don’t give the kid sudo/root. other then that restricting websites and stuff is more easily done on a firewall outside of the kid its control.

Almost any of the larger distros will suffice i think. Personally a fan of opensuse tumbleweed which has btrfs support out of the box. use a DE like kde/gnome and i think you have a very solid start

IPA beer is good for sure. freeIPA is a central way to manage Linux devices. manage users ssh keys and even limiting sudo commands with sudo rules. and some other things. It can not do everything active directory does but their sure are a load of similarities.

X11 is very old and all code has been glued on over the years. It is one big spaghetti mess. Very hard to work on and fix bugs. Wayland is much more modular and future proof.

Sudo apt install Firefox

Ubuntu then installs the snap version.

For me it is partially the way canonical pushes snaps and forces it on to users. More so they are slow and the proprietary back end is a huge downside. Some snaps are know broken and cause more harm then good like the steam snap for example. Steam actively discourages users from even using it.

That is very promising!! I checked the spec on the minisforum page but it did not list 8K only 4K 60hz with HDMI 2.0 not 2.1.

Thanks for the info. I like the miniPC form factor as it fits nicely with the rest. I got a eye on a Minisforum UN100L. I have taken a look at the CPU it has and as far as i can tell it supports decoding of almost all modern formats. Might be a bit overkill for the usecase. I thought about the Minisforum N40 but reading the specs of the CPU/GPU it supports 4K 30hz for HDMI not 60hz unfortunately.

No idea. but I remember the direct download link for the iso to became available due to it.

Not sure if it is still possible. But I believe you can on Tor if you spoof your user agent to be a black berry or some other device. Then you can grab the direct download link to the iso and download it over Tor. Been some time since I have done this though. Keep in mind this is from memory so it might be slightly different.
