I am kind of the technical guy in my family and friends surrounding. My biggest problem with helping people with their #linux problems so far, is not having an easy way to get #remotecontrol working.
Is there no easy solution for this problem? I looked into VNC through SSH tunneling in the past, but it looked complicated and relied on a dynamic dns setup, which is not free to my knowledge.
Appreciate any input or topics I should check out in this regard.

Use #syncthing!
Syncthing is an open source file sync tool. No server required! All you need is two (or more) devices that you want to synchronize files between. Once connected you can add or remove devices and folders.
I use my phone as the "introducer". Anytime I want to add a new device I add it with my phone and all my other devices accept it and start to synchronize.

I was recently recommended https://tryhackme.com and I can confirm it's a brilliant site. I've been going down the #Kali rabbit hole recently and it's great to have a site like this with lots of interactive #elearning, a lot of which is free. I may even submit my own learning content someday.
@samurro this is their github, you can get APKs here until Pulse Music gets added to F-Droid (it should be soon) https://github.com/HardcodeCoder/PulseMusic
The repository that you should add if you want to download from F-Droid now (and a few other FOSS apps that aren't on F-Droid yet) is this one https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/

@samurro
IMO these two are the best on F-Droid:
Vanilla Music β https://f-droid.org/packages/ch.blinkenlights.android.vanilla
Vinyl Music Player β https://f-droid.org/packages/com.poupa.vinylmusicplayer
Just installed my first phone with a non-default OS, #grapheneos . Still trying to figure out if there is any decent #audio player from #fdroid or if I really might need the Aurorastore.
No more tinder, sigh.... :D
In regards to sharing config files between computers, instead of github, can I not just #syncthing? Ofc I have no versioning and what not but....wayne?
Jeeez #syncthing is astonishing. I just shared a file between my desktop and my phone.
I feel like the possibilities are endless. Why is anybody still using a #cloud?

@samurro My main pdf processor is #pdfcpu which is just wonderful.
It is a library written in #Go whcih comes with a cli and I was able to replace most of my #Ghostscript scripts with it.
Extracting, splitting, converting, rotating, putting watermarks etc. can all be done with it and I am always surprised how few people know it π
@samurro It's pretty common to include scripting languages into programs for sand boxed customization. Games often use "Lua" for embedding, or even C#. Python can be used stand alone and embedded. Most prominently web browsers embed a scripting language called JavaScript for controlling web sites π For some extra confusion: C compilers are often implemented in C π
@hund I'm confused. Signal uses GPLv3 and AGPLv3, which makes it free or libre per definition by the FSF.
What ist your definition of "libre"?
@hund "Signal ... non-free"
How so? You can get the source on GitHub (https://github.com/signalapp), it's developed by a non-profit organisation (Signal Foundation) that was expressedly founded with purpose "to develop open-source privacy technology..."
While not decentralized it provides proven E2EE and ease of use even for non-tech folks.
