The point here is the same as with „Black lives matter“. Of course all lifes matter, but blacks are underrepresented, as are men in mental health topics.

If you are dealing with a business you could check, if their adress and tax number are the same as in any official records and sound plausible.

Very relatable!

This is definitely true for Shawn the sheep.

A minimal setup would be:

• your VPS with an installed operating system like Debian 12 or Ubuntu 24(?).
• a Webserver, which accepts http(s) requests from a browser.

You configure your VPS to be able to access it via ssh, login, install a Webserver like nginx, Apache or others, configure the server to point requests to your IP or domain to a local directory on your server (e.g. /var/www/yoursite on Linux), write some hello world html file, copy that file via scp to /var/www/yoursite, voilá – you just created a (very simple) website.

If you want a little more bling bling you could use a static site generator. See https://jamstack.org/generators/

With a SSG you would initialize your site on your local machine, write some markdown and put in in your site generators folder structure and run the command to create the html files from the markdown. The output is normally a specific folder you could then copy to your server, as mentioned above. Or you could set up git on your server and use git commit and git push to push changes to your server. This is what you had in mind.

I find it easier to just use a graphical client software like Cyberduck to drag and drop the whole static site generator output to my server.

I think this is not possible to configure just with yunohosting standard tools. My guess would be you would not need yunohost to do so. I have a blog made with a static site generator and I just push the whole output to a directory under /var/www. Plus there is an nginx running as Webserver and to redirect traffic to subdomains.

What do you miss?

I think time efficiency and stability are the two traits I am looking for. Looks like yunohost can offer those.

Nice! I live in Germany and your situation looks similar to mine. I started with Linux 20 years ago and bought a Synology about a year ago. I have my most essential services (backup, photos, Media server and paperless) running on that machine in my local network. I started with a small VPS and a blog after this, to see if I could handle managing a server. It went well.

We have a small cabin we share with others and I wanted to set up some basic services like a calendar. Went across a post about yunohost and gave it a try.

This is an urban myth: https://uk.pcmag.com/mobile-phones/146275/mobile-myth-does-fast-charging-ruin-your-phone-battery

It is crazy how many highly skilled people put a lot of free work into pushing Linux forward, because of „let’s see, if we can get this thing working!”

I love the free software community.

During my studies I worked at the faculty, „typesetting“ the following for my professor: https://www.amazon.de/Evangelische-Akademie-DDR-Bildungsstätten-Widerstand/dp/3374024653

>700 pages in Microsoft Word in 2006. I knew about LaTeX, but was not familiar enough to convert everything to LaTeX and integrate last minute changes on top. The authors of course only knew word and the professor did editing and typesetting in parallel.

Afterwards all my academic text were written in LaTeX with Bibtex and I never looked back.

„Butt“ is a fish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bothidae In northern Germany it is also called „Scholle“.

I didn’t know Netbird. Do you selfhost it as well?

That’s a lot of ISOs!

I sometimes question the use of Jellyfin as streaming replacement. It only makes sense, if you have a huge DVD/BD collection you do not want to put into a dedicated player or if you pirate everything.

For music it makes more sense, because smartphones are great music players at home and on the road (and I love buying CDs).
