Apologies for the poor grammar, English IS my first language and so I’m rather flagrant with runons.

I’m really not half as tech literate as half the people on the fediverse, but my noia about the state of online cloud hosting and lack of control over my data has led me far out of my depth. I’m wanting to set up a LibreCMC router and connect it to some type of home server (made of local office E-Waste) for media storage, email hosting, and fucking Minecraft servers or something. I promise I’ve tried my best in searching for the problem but often find myself floundering in 3-letter acronyms, and relations between systems I don’t understand (like dockers, or the Jellyfin vs Plex argument.) I don’t need an explanation but maybe some orientation on where I am to look for resources on these topics that assume I’m the 6 celled neurobase I am.

Thank you for your help, or your chastising.

Edit: thank you everyone for your replies! I’ll hopefully keep you all updated as I work through learning Linux terminals, and destroying terabytes of data in horribly predictable mistakes : )

    Using an AI is a great way to get learning materials tailored specifically to you.

    But after you’ve learned from it, before you move on to another topic, you HAVE to verify your understanding against more trustworthy sources that you previously couldn’t understand. Ideally with an online course that actually gives you a test.
