I think this would work better as a poll. If you make one please let me know!

Hey there 00's brother!

I work with data, and just today I found the longest name in our database, it was 46 characters long counting spaces and it consisted of three names and three surnames (which in reality is only two, but one is twice as long).

Mine is 37 characters long and I have two first names and a "Del". My girlfriend's is 33 and she has three first names.

The "De", "Del", "La", "Los", "De La" etc, count as part of a surname. For example "Del Río" is a surname.

For the exaggerated example I gave before, I chose a Telenovela sounding name, those are very uncommon but do exist in the wild. For more examples, I'd recommend you check out spanish royalty names, they are a lot longer and include a bunch of titles a la 'king of the Andals and the First Men, lord of the seven kingdoms and protector of the realm' but with saint names and things like that.

You know, having a Latino name takes this to the next level.

"Luis Arturo Fernando De La Rosa Elisondo De Los Montero"

Yeah... And my name ends in "-el" so 3 minute wall-sit it is

I think this is due to the fact that we've become a more sensible and empathetic society recently. We have access to more education, mental health, etc. We have a better understanding of the importance of childhood as a developing phase for human beings, and just how vulnerable children are.

I mean, sixty-seventy years ago, the US still had apartheid; that's how much we have changed as a society (I'm not american, but there have been many cultural and social movements all over the world)

Poor grammar/orthography

For comedy, these illustrations are very detailed! Do you make them yourself? I've been absolutely enjoying this series so far.

I completely agree with you there, Lemmy is its own thing. People are nice and respectful, communities are more constructive and less competitive, mods actually like what they're doing; the "vibe" is completely different here. No karma or awards incentives, pure cooperation and real social interactions.

We're open source! open hearts and open arms!

Are you suggesting that they are individuals? I mean, have you ever seen every Reddit user in the same room? Exactly! they are all the same 3 people replying to themselves (or so they seem to me).

Thanks!! I feel a bit more confident about this project now. To know that I'm on the right track is very validating to me. I will do my best to do my proper research and not go balls to the wall on this one.

I also really appreciate your advice on security, as I think this is the leg from which I limp the most. I'm still very new to all SSH and HTTPS things, so yeah...

I also didn't quite understand your first point; what does openhab mean? And how is it possible that the people you mention aren't getting hacked? Is it related to the second point about using ssh keys? I read in another comment that hackers could compromise my home network if I'm not careful enough, so I want to be extra cautious with that. (I hope I'm not lacking in common sense... perhaps it's my reading comprehension that's lacking... Yeah, that must be it!)

Thanks! I'll look into this hello world example. And as for the electricity bill... I'm planning on having this website running locally for a short while, as this is mostly for learning purposes. Perhaps in the future I'll try other hosting options, idk.

But for the time being, I like to think that I'll be able to host whatever I want whenever I want you know? It's kind of liberating.

Thanks! This actually helps me a lot, I'm lacking a bit of knowledge on ports and stuff, it sounds a bit daunting to have that many ports to choose from, but if you narrow it to that one port and another temporal one it gets easier haha, thank you, I never know which ports to use for stuff.

I've been reading some other comments and I think I've kind of figured out what to do, it's just a matter of doing some more research, as you mentioned the how-to's are easy to find online, but the bones of my plan are kind of there haha.

Thanks! I also appreciate your concern. I'm also worried about getting attacked or hacked, so I'll be doing my research on that too... Maybe, if the risks are to high I might have to compromise with a small short-term deployment (just for the accomplishment) and then switch to a more reasonable project, perhaps trying linode or something.

Thanks again! I just checked the material on Professor Messer and I think I'll be taking the "Networking+" course per your recommendation and maybe the security one; after all, I'll be hosting something publically on the internet.

Also, when I'm done (and if you don't mind) I'd like to add a small section as a tutorial of sorts, on how to accomplish this with the links and resources that you shared with me, so that other people can also do it.

You might be right, Lemmy is not for the masses... I would consider myself a tech nerd, privacy enthusiast and shitposter; so migrating from Reddit was the best thing to ever happen to me. This place feels like a real home where I can share my interests with people who are incredibly helpful, kind and passionate about what they do. This place is a heaven for people trying to escape corporate and mass media. And I agree with you, Lemmy is a failed Reddit alternative, because it's not a Reddit alternative, I don't see it like that anymore. People here are genuine, I love that <3

Thank you! I'll do some digging around, I think these concepts are enough to get me started

Thank you so much! You've been incredibly helpful. I really appreciate that you took the time to write such a comprehensive guide with links to this many resources. I will read everything, and as soon as I've got something running I'll update. (I'm not in a rush tho, so It might take a while)

Again, thank you so so so so so much! <3
