Proxmox is basically a VM management software that runs in a Debian install. You may be able to add it to your current install, but I am not certain about that.

I think people were already making the internet worse. AI just helps them make it worse faster.

Thank you for the summarized information.

Star fleet is essentially a military organization, so that makes sense. I know they do a lot of other non-militaristic stuff, but when war happens they are the ones fighting it.

First based on everything I have ever heard, don't host your own email server. If you want to learn it that's fine, but don't do it for something you actually rely on. My understanding it's a constant miserable slog to keep it functioning.

Second for getting started, get a cheap used computer and install Linux on it. Also be prepared to wipe it and install something different. Docker may be a good place to go next. You can find lots of guides online, there are tones of apps setup to run with docker you can test out. You could also explore virtual machines. Both have the advantage of making it easier to experiment with different things.

Let's say that yes, you pointed them to "networking". The issue is that they have a specific problem and you are pointing to a topic so broad and deep with no specific direction. But you also say "it's basic". Well if it truly is basic and they still don't get it, this would be a clear indication that they need some level of hand holding. Last if your feeling "that is a lot of work, I don't want to do that" no problem you don't have to. But in that that situation I would suggest reviewing before commenting: is it going to get the person closer to a solution? Is encouraging to the person? Am I indicating I also have this problem indicating someone else could step in and help multiple people at once? Is it funny? If it's no on all those, maybe don't comment.

Sorry my statement was ambiguous. I mean we send those people to prison instead of trying to help them. So then prisons become the those things, but shittier.

I think the important factor is that you have contributed nothing of value to help this person learn. You could have linked to a useful resources, you have suggested Google searches to point in the correct direction. But you basically said "This is easy, RTFM". Next time at least send them the manual they should read.

Pretty sure those are prison a lot of the time.

I have a job I mostly enjoy, work with people I like, get paid enough to not worry about money all the time, and have flexibility to take care of things during work hours when needed.

I wouldn't mind more money, but other than that I don't think I can do better on the rest of it.

I think an important detail is likely missing. My experience as a software engineer intern included getting paid well and full benefits as an employee. So legally I was an hourly employee and I think the label of "intern" was to set expectations work/performance/responsibility.
