From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Need help with setting up home server (lemm.ee)

So my dietpi setup stopped working out of the blue. I use Plexamp over the Internet and it's been steady until a couple months ago.

Long story short, I panicked. I reinstalled dietpi on my SD card, but then realized I wasn't able to connect my phones hot spot to it (I don't have a lan line currently) so then I just said screw it and download the bloated Ubuntu as it "just works" sometimes. Thankfully I was able to get my internet working this way albeit.

So now I'm downloading Plex media server. And things started to finally sync on the browser and it worked for like 5 minutes before all my Plex accounts started showing offline again. What am I doing wrong here? Do I really need to ask my neighbor to let me use their Ethernet connection to setup my raspberry pi? Guys is there a way I can just use a hotspot for now for this? Why is this so difficult?

To make matters worse, I was going to install rustdesk so I could plug the thing into my neighbors router again, and remote access things. But Ubuntu connection on rustdesk disconnects every 7 seconds. What do I do?

Well there's your problem. Public wifi is going to have systems in place to stop exactly the kind of thing you're trying to do.
