Now that you’ve dubbed OP a tech person…

Hey OP, can you help me fix my printer? It’s only printing “RED RUM RED RUM” for some reason.

Thanks!

So do you run a tailscale exit node on one of the public clouds or a VPS provider like DigitalOcean?

Nice app! I do have an android device sitting around doing nothing. Will use this app if I ever get into it!

Ah, I’m not going there yet. OpenWRT is an eventual goal. But right now I’m stuck with devices that do not support it. I’m ok with alternate solutions.

huh. Never thought about public pihole servers. So nice of those folks running them.

I don’t understand how you’re saying you’ve stopped self-hosting VPN and are still using tailscale. Are you using their SaaS service? Does that allow you to set your own DNS? Do they have speed limits? Are they zero-logs?

I’d like to add to the voice about Memo. It’s very nice, stable, loads of features if you want them and actively growing.

I think of my “diary” as a stream of consciousness. Thus Memo makes sense. It feels like a personal Twitter feed.

Tagging, photo upload, links. All that works great in Memo.

A tutorial tried to get me to install emacs the other day. I guffawed in nano.

I use this almost every time I need to launch something on my Portainer setup. It’s not perfect but works like a charm to convert simpler docker runs into yaml files.

Hey on that 3tb thing… can I pick and choose folders or parts of folders from the backups?

Or, say, I want to move stuff around in folders… is that possible after the backup has reached them and is only visible to me through their web interface?

Never done that before. Interesting! Will try that out and see what happens.

Eh. ISPs in the US are much the same.

I use and love zerotier. Just that using it on mobile is a bit of an effort with the VPN. Also, it doesn’t seem to support DNS like cloudflared does? Am I missing something in zerotier or is the only way you can access your servers is by IP address?

OCI free tier as in Oracle Cloud? How’s that working out for you? Not miniflux… the cloud…

Second this. Portainer + docker compose is so good that now I go out of my way to composerize everything so I don’t have to run docker containers from the cli.

Seriously. Nano is the best.

What reverse proxy will you use? And are using tunnels to get access from outside or something else?

Yes, because till University, you’re trying to learn something new. And the best way to learn is by doing.

At work, all you’re trying to do is save money (for the corporation). Best way to do that is to reuse, recycle.

thanks for that :)

BTW, if I fire up a bunch of docker containers in WSL2 using podman or native docker, and then kill them, does WSL2 release the RAM it acquired to run those containers?
