What would you recommend that is not NixOS or a Bash script and can be used agnostic of distro?

This is not correct as pass uses GPG, and you can do symmetric encryption with it, it is just a different parameter in the command.
You can use a different password per file, or the same one
I use qtpass as a GUI for pass
Can I use it fully offline?
Yes, it is fully offline, you can back it up by any mean you could any other file, and it should be fine as the files are encrypted (should store the keys separated), can be a USB, an external drive, another computer in your LAN, a git repo, nextcloud, syncthing.
How do I back it up to USB drive?
You copy and paste the files
What does the day-to-day operation of Pass compared to Keepass look like?
As I said I use qtpass as a GUI so, open qtpass, search for the specific password file, double click, put the password for my gpg key and then the password I need is stored in clipboard for 30sec (this is customizable or can be disabled) and I paste it where I need it.
If I need to store a new password, just use the add password button, and input the data, it is that simple.
I’m going to mention Ansible
as I haven’t seen it mentioned, and it can be used to locally manage a reproducible build.
It has already been mentioned, but as a minimum to replicate your system you need two things:
/home
directory as there is where the majority of the configuration files of your system pertaining the software you use (there could be configs you could need on /etc
and on /usr/local
or other dir), that is why it is recommended to partition your disk on installation of your distro, so the /home
directory is already separated, as if you reinstall in the same machine you don’t lose any configuration in addition to your personal documents/pictures/etcThe truth is that using any of the tools in the second point requires learning a bunch, so if your skill level is still not there, there is some work to do to get there.
You can do a local recording with zoom, you can have a meeting by yourself, share screen, and then position the camera where you want it, and record. when you finish the recording and the meeting, the file will be processed and saved on a local folder without doing anything else.
I consider that the easiest method.
That’s a very specific use case that would need you to provide more information, like what app are you using and what trackers are being reported, and that I particularly don’t know if I can help you with.
Maybe if you post said information, someone else can help you.
Edit to add: it is very likely the tracking is being done by the app itself, or when accessing an external link, or embedded content from the app, the app is not protecting you from other trackers, as lemmy.world itself is not tracking you
There are ways to block most data collection, as I said an example of this is using a browser with built in blockers for tracking and/or extensions.
The other part is on the user hands, proprietary services and apps are always going to track something even if minimal, like I said using Chrome or Google search or visiting reddit or opening an embedded image preview from imgur are totally on the user, and could be avoided.
Not an expert in this and someone can correct me or expand…
In the case of imgur or reddit, with embedded content like image previews or when following a link the destination site can know where you came from. Here a link that explains it better than I could.
In the case of Google, if you use chrome or search lemmy.world through Google and then click it from the search results, google knows
And if you don’t have any tracking protection via browser or extensions, there can be tracking using cookies for example.
Cloudflare is probably a false flag detected by this site
And in my particular case following your link it told me “No tracking detected on this site at present.” As seen in this image
Old laptop, Debian with docker running nextcloud, navidrome, jellyfin, gitea, librespeed, wireguard, dnsmasq, and nginx as a reverse proxy.
adding Quillpad, as another alternative
QR is just image to text, most QR reading apps I have used, show you the QR content before going to the website (or let you disable opening the link directly) so you should be able to check the URL or content and see if the link is legit or not.
But let’s be honest most people don’t know or don’t even bother and that’s the real problem.
I recommend DuckDNS as well, you can run it both sides and set up a daemon to update the domain when there is an IP change automatically.
And with Wireguard you can set up a tunnel between both locations so you can share anything you need.
I’m using Debian, with Docker and running Jellyfin, Nextcloud, Navidrome and Wireguard on Containers on my old laptop. So that would be my suggestion.
You could install CasaOS and/or Portainer, on top of Debian if you want an easier way to manage your server and containers.
If you are not behind a CGNAT, it should be as easy as opening the necessary ports.
I have a reverse proxy running in ports 80, 443 and can safely access Jellyfin on a subdomain without issues from outside my LAN.
Markdown (there are plenty of editors to chose from) + Pandoc (to generate the output in multiple formats), would be my recommendation.
Did you know https://m.lemmy.world?, voyager can be used on desktop.
I use my old laptop as a server, and so far no issues with leaving it on 24/7
Always funny to hear all those second place jokes with the brother.
Dislike: there is still no way to group communities into sub feeds, apart from subs, local, all. (and the work around some do of having multiple accounts seems silly to me)
