Sometimes they are on a remote server that I sshfs mount and play the same way. Multiple people could use the server at the same time if desired, though for me it hasn’t been an issue. It’s audio, I don’t need a visual UI for it. I still have a fair amount of physical media too including LP’s, though my record player is long gone.
Anyway, be happy that I didn’t mention FORTH :).
I just don’t get it, I’ve seen people struggle with itunes, that stuff is way too complicated and I don’t see any need for it. Maybe I’m missing something but if I want to play some music and it’s in a file, saying “play this file” seems about as direct as it gets.

I just have a bunch of media files (.ogg, .mp3, etc.) in directories and play them with mplayer from the command line. Playlist = shell script that plays some group of files. I use old school track numbering (01-whatever, 02-whatsit, etc.) though, so most of the time “mplayer *” is how I play an album and the tracks play automatically in the right order. I don’t understand the purpose of anything fancier. Now get off my lawn.
I mostly have old Thinkpads with snap-in batteries. They’re nice. They do need replacement now and then. The one I have with an internal battery was still not too bad. Take out some screws, open computer, swap battery. No adhesives or soldering or anything like that. Conclusion: avoid Apple stuff and you’ll be ok
I think I’ve seen some things like that, but you can never stop them from taking a screen shot, with a camera if necessary.
Reddit probably beats Facebook but it’s getting worse all the time. If you want to use Lemmy you might consider running your own instance. Lemmy as far as I can tell has usable photo uploading. Maybe the new thing you mentioned will be better, but idk anything about it. There is also Threads which is a Facebook thing, right?
If you have the time for it I’d say run an independent site. Lemmy is ok for posting photos though.
99 Luftballons was the first one that came to mind.
This almost seems like a leopards ate my face situation. I remember Plex supplanted some other proprietary media server that went evil. I couldn’t understand why people burned by the first one switched en masse to another one like it. Once wasn’t enough? If you’re going to switch at all, go to something that is 100% libre.
You can certainly spin up a VPS with Windows Server on it and figure outhow to do your daily tasks on it. Buyvm.net will let you run an old version at no extra charge on cheap VPS. Other hosts have newer versions that you pay a bit extra for, but it is affordable.
Get some sleep.
Maybe nextcloud? IDK I just use Borg. But Nextcloud allows that type of syncing that you describe, I think. I run a small nextcloud server for other purposes and don’t use that feature.
For Windows users it might be simplest to start with Debian MATE. There is an install image on debian.org. No idea about Mint.
What? No that would be an aspect of the programming language. Ok, maybe if you study compilers. I know there are also books about garbage collection so maybe there are courses about that too.
When I first saw the question I thought you meant bulk transfers, like in data communication or parallel programming. There is a topic called “the data center as a computer” that could be relevant. Like if you’re trying to split a problem across 1000 computers, a lot of the planning will be shovelling data around between them, in addition to the computation itself. You could look for Hadoop books and docs.
The domain name in the certificate has to match the one in the browser. Does it? You haven’t said.
I have a small self-hosted Nextcloud with Nextcloud Chat and it can do video though it isn’t great. Jitsi Meet is much better but I haven’t tried to host it myself. I’m sure there are other options too, though idk what to suggest. Maybe see what’s around on Scriptaculous these days?
The software part is easy. The hassles are more in dealing with abuse, ddos attacks, inappropriate content, etc. Hosting can also get expensive if usage gets high enough. But, things like this have been done plenty of times and there is lots of such software already available.
What does it even mean? People can recompile the kernel to turn the crap off.
These days if the file is write protected, you get prompted for whether you really want to remove it. I don’t know when that change appeared or whether it’s universal.
Maybe they can dogfight some Nazgûl on horses.
