You can either decide by what is currently in demand in the industry and then pick a project that you can exercise that language with or you can think of a project you’d like to do and then go by what the best language is for a given project.

In the end, languages are just like different wrenches. First you have to learn how to use a wrench, size or features don’t matter much at this point (unless you already know that you want to become an expert with one particular wrench).

I think starting a new project is way easier than contributing to an existing one.

Best advice I have:

Keep at it. Do actual projects. Actually use the tools for a while. It will eventually make sense.

Why do so many external entities care so much about constantly trying to reduce my privacy?

If they would not have started it, I wouldn’t have started to care.

Ask chatGPT (as one step of your search for a framework that suits your needs)

I have been trying to find a suitable existing solution and by just explaining what I want it to do, chatGPT output a bunch of potentially interesting projects, which I didn’t bump into through searchengines. (And a lot of unrelated bogus, but it was a very good starting point anyways)

netcup as well

Well, it’s right in the name - National PUBLIC Data

I had some similar symptoms on a Fritzbox router, because by default the devices connected over wifi were unable to communicate with those connected by cable. Some routers also had this setting for the different wifi bands, 2.4G & 5G.

But I don’t think you’d be able to ping it if this were the case.

Check yoyr router settings anyway, maybe you’ll find something there.

For me the best learning came from actually working on huge, complex projects - then seeing the problems that come with that - then looking for ways to improve the situation.

I use portmaster

netcup and contabo each have the cheapest VPS option in certain specc constelations.

Even more so if you can wait until black friday or christmas, since they both regularely offer huge VPS deals.

I’ve been using a njalla domain for my personal website and selfhosted stuff like git, gist etc. and it just works so far.

They have a pretty clear stance publically afaik - if you do something illegal, they kick you out without explanations. I have no opinion on that. But it seems that lots of people who tried to host something illegal there play innocent on social media and cry about how njalla took their domain. So as a result the service seems unreliable.

Is it maybe the case that the setting is for allowing/disallowing you to go to sites on your local network?

For example your router controls at “192.168.1.1” (example address) or a raspberry pi with a selfhosted service like nextcloud etc.

You can probably test whether my claim is true by trying to visit your routers page with the setting enabled vs. disabled. (I am not using Chrome)

I don’t think websites have access to your local network through the browsers javascript engine, but I may be wrong.

I typed in the exact words I would type if I had your question and the first three results were the answer you were looking for.

How can “search engines” suck any less than this?

No need for personal attacks btw. cheers

Just use a search engine and type “wifi icon number 6”

One more good plugin in this line is Chameleon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chameleon-ext/

How are we supposed to give you feedback if we can’t play the game yet, since it is not released?

With a Blazor (serverside mode) project you could have that with a nice user experience. Blazor has a tiny js which initializes something, otherwiss it renders the site on the server and sends the component updates to the browser, so the whole site does not need to reload, only the relevant components (which is kind of interesting).

Maybe there is some blazor serverside e-commerce project out there, I wouldn’t personally recommend it though.

Well, I don’t think thats what OP had in mind but there is WebAssembly as well.

For the site itself the most minimal thing you can do is an html file.

Then some software to act as the “server” that serves that file to a visitor. (nginx, caddy, apache - there are many options).

And your domain needs a domain record which points to your server.

As you want to use a home pc, you need to figure out whether your ISP gives you a dynamic or static IP.

If static, you can just use that.

If dynamic, you’d need some service like dynDNS to keep pointing your domain to your changing IP.
