I need more blog posts like these…
Though I know very little of enum and never used it before, I think this is what I needed. I couldnt imagine there would exist a type exactly for this purpose since I could consider adding or deprecating data later in time. I would need time understanding how I need to restructure the current JSON object to accomodate enums, but I think it will be worth it. Thanks for you time!
Ive heard about enums before, but I never really paid attention to them since I never got a need to use them in any of my projects till now. I think this is exactly what I need. Ill research more on it
Thank you so much for your help
Yeah, I didn’t consider this reason, but it is plausible.
Wait, is using GBoard with blocked internet access actually private? I read other people say it is like a keylogger, and probably would bypass the internet restriction.
Wait, is an old laptop also good enough for setting up a home server? I thought you would require a completely separated and dedicated PC box like the ones you can see in studios or offices. That’s new to me!
That is a great analogy of explaining the broadness of the concept of self hosting that I wasnt able to understand from the other comments.
As a beginner, I would like to start out with a storage provider like Google Drive (& Google Photos). I currently don’t have any hardware for a home server but I can get one as per my requirements.
The biggest issue for me would be the OS running in the home server. I would preferably want something compatible with Windows since I have worked with Windows for my whole life. I am also fine with working with Linux, however I don’t want to spend weeks banging my head on setting up and using Linux before I even start configuring it for my home server. I will be able to handle learning about networkings of the server on the go and troubleshoot problems as long as the OS does not bother me. As with self hosting, I am a beginner in the field of Linux so I don’t know what ‘distro’ would be best for me for this purpose, but nonetheless I will research more about it thanks to your headstart.
A for effort
