I didn't mean to be disrespectful, it was a genuine recommendation.

I can see how "[look up] on the internet" is so obvious, it can be taken the wrong way. So I removed it from my comment.

Docker: it’s a container used as a sort of sandbox environment for running various tools
Federated: uses the activitypub protocol
Self host: Don’t use services in the cloud. Build your own
Fork: Derived from existing project (or process)
Container: Sandboxed part of your OS
Instance: There are multiple definitions but the one probably most relevant to you is a node of a federated network
Flatpak: No idea. I think this is Ubuntu’s containerized deliverable
Tailscale: I think this is a reverse proxy?
Distro: A flavor of Linux
Wayland: Succesor to X11. Gives you graphics on Linux
Nginx: Web server software. Alternative to Apache
Tailscale is a tunneling service which allows to easily connect multiple different networks together. For example, if you have two computers in different locations, they can talk to each other as if they were in the same location using a tailscale network.
