chatGPT. In my case, "I have experience with Unity game engine and C#. I want to host a web forum. Can you please assist?"
I started with an ASP.NET server at chatGPT's recommendation (which would have allowed my C# to translate) but soon found that only Linux servers allow SSH, which seems very very important.
So I asked some more, and wound up with a Linux provider, using nginx to host.
chatGPT was pretty helpful with Linux permissions, owners, fixing 404/301/403 etc
Be wary of talking in circles about something chatGPT is unable or unwilling to tell you - Google and Stack Overflow are still here as backups when the chatbot doesn't "get" you.
Plus, Google forces you to dumb down your questions, since chatGPT is perfectly happy answering to essays and short stories.
- mattmanser 4y agoHuh? This comment is a great advert of why you should talk to a real person instead of using chatGPT. First, there's no such thing as an ASP.Net server. Second, you can run ASP.Net on Linux. (Google "asp.net on linux"). Third, even if you didn't use linux and were hosting your asp.net application with IIS on Windows Server you simply RDP onto a windows server instead of SSHing. Hint, RDPing is much easier than SSHing for novices unless you want to pretend you're Cypher in the Matrix. It's basically like accessing another desktop from your machine, it has a full GUI instead of a CLI.

- mattmanser 4y agoYou wasted a bunch of time going down totally incorrect rabbit holes.
