Most interesting conversation. I'll have to go through it later when I have some time tonight.
@matigo @height8 Basically, what I'm aiming for is to have a bunch of web apps I'll toss together for myself behind some kind of a layer of security to prevent abuse or pretty much anyone else than me wasting system resources. All running from a tiny Raspberry Pi from my home via my ADSL connection.
@height8 Yeah, it pretty much is. I'm about 15-ish years behind so I'm more than open for modern suggestions that hopefully won't give me headache like PHP did. :)
Time to learn how to make a secure login function in PHP so I can dare to put my personal tools online and actually have access to them. :>
Well, I guess I might as well install PHP now and start re-learning that stuff.
@matigo I grabbed Raspbian Jessie lite off the official website and burned to my SD card. Had to do the writing to the card twice for some reason. First time I probably provided the wrong command as I was doing it in the terminal on OS X.
I will say this though, it's pretty darn cool to sit in the kitchen and write commands to a tiny computer running a UNIX compatible system on a very thin slate of glass and metal. ?
Ørk. Do I really need to install MySQL in order to get all these darn things working? I'm really not fond of the assumption that it's always installed on the server.
