I run a side business and have been AWS-free for years. I love when all my competitors go down during AWS outages — my clients are the only ones still online in their industry.

If it’s cable internet you might just be constrained by the available upload speed. I tend to put my media in Storj then run a VPS somewhere between all the clients that serves the media via WebDAV with rclone. This gets around the slow upload speed of cable internet at home, and I can cache the remote content on my NAS at home too.

They can’t even write their own fucking acronym right. It’s MAGA, not “Maga.”

Ruby on Rails developer here, why is that bad? Honestly Python feels old and shitty, PHP is a joke, and I can’t think of any other language I’d prefer.

Here’s the link to the basecamp/once-campfire GitHub repo.

I’ve got X blocked on all my personal devices but I opened the tweet on my work computer to retrieve it.

It wouldn’t be any different than your current configuration other than the domain itself.

It’s important if you’re using flash drives across platforms though that’s pretty rare these days too. My wife has run into this problem by formatting as ExFAT (GUID partition table) when print shops’ terrible machines only support FAT32 and/or MBR partition tables.

Thankfully macOS at home understands ExFAT otherwise those formatted drives from her Windows work computer wouldn’t even work.

So you’re just chiming in that people shouldn’t use it because you don’t see the use case for VPNs?

That might make me re-look into using Headscale.

I could never get this working in a basic Docker image pushed to Fly.io.

Tailscale only supports Mullvad VPN and when you do use it you’re stuck with its DNS server. It’s a super basic option and doesn’t allow for much customization.

Not really. I use the exit node to forward my “default” traffic through the VPN but I still use tunnels between my end devices too. My wife uses it to print documents from work and hell, I even shut off a lot of services on my LAN and made them Tailscale-only just as a way to force encryption (unnecessarily).

I do some pretty crazy stuff honestly because I’m really into privacy. Since I’m stuck using a VPS I usually put it in the same country that I’m currently in so that for my end devices it appears I’m just accessing some corporate VPN.

On the VPN I actually have two in-country double hop VPN tunnels. I then have two more double hop VPN tunnels that first go into some random country, then finally to Switzerland (because I love their privacy laws). Those two tunnels are set as two equal cost multipath hops for my Tailscale clients, then they get stuffed into the first set of in-country tunnels.

Iinject random delays to protect against timing attacks too, and on top of all that I run Blocky with an insane amount of blocklists and that traffic also spread between all the tunnels over DoT.

It’s a lot of overkill but I absolutely love having no ads, strong data protection and a higher level of freedom of speech.

I’m not familiar with NordVPN Meshnet but I wanted to chime in that you can use Tailscale with a VPN, but you’ll have to do some routing work between the Tailscale network interface and the VPN one. I do this on a VPS.

One day our Linux servers were hosed at work because the Windows server hosting them got all fucked up during Cloudstrike. I’ll never understand why you’d host Linux on Windows rather than the other way around.
