Situation: we live in europe, there’s PRISM and Privacy Shield and all that, to which selfhosting is the solution. Now, my sister, mostly on Apple, got concerned with all the hacks and privacy violations over the years. She’s a tech noob, so i can’t really recommend her prism-break.org
There’s a bunch of hosted solutions geared towards small to medium business, like Univention Corporate Server, NethServer, etc.
Are there similiar bundles for private use, basically Apple cloud alternative? With services like cloud storage, cloud office, media share, maybe chat, videocall?
Or should i let her wait until i got my box up, VPN her over? I’m only semi-professional tho.
You should setup a yunohost server for her.
But you should be upfront about being a teacher for her not being a helper.
For the others in the topic, yes teaching people to be autonomous with the digital is a lot of work (and a lot of phone calls), but it’s also really rewarding for both you and “the student”.
