I am interested in automation on the internet. I own a NAS server and have a website at a webhotel.
Let's start out slow. If i wanted to call a webpage a few times a day, what would my options be? On my NAS server i can write custom batch files, but I don't really want to learn how to do this, it doesn't seem too easy to get into (correct me if wrong). Are there any frameworks that can help me do this? I looked a little into Node.js, and it seems pretty good. Can i put a Node.js script on my server, and have it call a website at specified times?
So, my question is this:
what are the most widely used options, when it comes to automation on the internet?
EDIT: When I say "call a website", i mean call a webresource via a url, which would then do whatever it is instructed to do. Such as write to a database with php.
Usually lightweight varsion of linux can be accessed on NAS servers. In this case you can install any web server on it. But considering phrases "but I don't really want to learn how to do this" and "what would my options be" I would say: Hire specialist.

i'm really new to these things. Normally in making website it's easy to secure it becasue everything is actually local. Just PHP or someting like that process data and shows up in a static page. But when we got desktop app i don't know how to do it. How can i make app <-> server relation? Like Instagram or Facebook or something like that. At the first i think JSON might work for that, but it think it's not secure for all information.I hope i explained good.
Little bit late but if someone comes here, here's the answer you're looking for; HTTP. Yeah It's that simple. Learn how HTTP works. For making security tight, look for cross origin resource sharing (CORS), two-way encryption, server-side validation and so on. Have a good day!

I'm new to web development and I want to make some small web applications like a video downloaders, an document converter, and that sort of apps. I know that I can use either a JavaScript framework (react, vue, or angular) or php (laravel) but I'm confused which one is best suited for this situation.
I don't know if the this is the right place to ask this kind of questions but I want to know your opinion, so should I go with JavaScript or go the php route? I'll appreciate you help guys and thanks.
This is a very subjective question. Personally I'd recommend NodeJS or PHP as I'm not a big fan on PHP for my own subjective reasons.
My recommendations:
NodeJs: Great ecosystem, lots of shared knowledge
Use Webstorm from Jetbrains
Learn about docker, use it and make your deployments easy
Use something like Heroku until you establish it's limitations for you then you'll be better equipped to understand why you want to host another way.

Meteor.js integrates well inside a Mantra.js architecture, but does it have advantages since it slows the running of my requests.
For instance a dummy request in GraphQL (get a random string from the server) runs in few ms using Apollo Client and 1 second and more using Mantra.js (exact same request wrapping Apollo stack).
It only depends what kind of project you want to work on.
Mantra.js is an architecture framework for Meteor.js, that means :
it helps a developer to follow the creation and development of its modules corresponding to the Mantra framework. The developer is free to use any kind of front-end library he/she wants, any Data Query and Client caching he wants, but in my opinion, it doesn't really improve the quality of the code. Someone can organize a project with own rules and it can be maintainable easily.
So if your team is comfortable with your code structure you definitively don't need something like Mantra.js.

So I recently stumbled upon jscrambler.com
This tool actually allows you to protect your javascript code, its fascinating. However, the service is cloud based and im wondering if this is really ok. Since im actually posting code on their servers. While others cant steal my code, it is still vurnerable to theft from within the the guys behind jscrambler.
Maybe im worrying too much. Is it safe to use jscrambler services?
You're right. Giving your code to a 3rd party to protect it is as counter-productive as it is counter-intuitive.
That said, browser users always have access to the underlying Javascript code. The most you can do is wrangle the source code by making syntactic changes that produce the same functionality but result in harder-to-read text.
This process is known as uglification or minification (since it reduces file size). UglifyJS is the most frequently used tool for this.

I'm interested in creating my own comments box for my website. I want it to be very similar to facebook's commenting system. How difficult would this be and what language is the best for something like this? Also, could someone point me towards some documentation that would help me learn how to do something like this?
Using Rails for the back-end, but could build the box with php preferably using heroku or mysql databases.
If you want to create comments box like Facebook, then you will have to use some server sided scripting technology like PHP, Servlets or any other which does the same thing as these do.
And you will also have to learn DATABASES like mysql, Oracle, Microsoft SQL, etc.
Since these will be used to store comments and retrieve Comments.
My suggestion will be use PHP And MySQL because they are free to use and you can learn these from W3Schools.com.
