Colonel Linux and his army of daemons!

It’s the canonical choice

I recommend grating cheese over your fries before warming them up!

It’s a secret! I’ll post the answer next month … … … …

Yeah, no Lemmy user would ever be like that in real life … … … …

I can’t see from this article whether “could cost” means there are lawsuits ongoing/pending, or just the author has speculated what the fine could be if there were a lawsuit?

Thanks!

Does this really need docker, if it’s all in-browser? Ultimately, is it just served as files from your self-hosted server and the client browser does the magic?

Yep. It’s on the TODO list…

You can do that? On ordinary, non-rooted Android?

I use Nebula. It’s lightweight, well-engineered and fully under your control. But you do need a computer with a fixed IP and accessible port. (E.g. a cheap VPS)

You can also use “managed nebula” if you want to enjoy the same risk of the control point of your network depending on a new business ;-)

Tailscale is great. The principle concern to me is that your super easy mesh network depends on Tailscale so if they want it they have control, and if they change their pricing or options you depend on them, and though they can’t see the data you send they can see the topology of your network and where all your computers/devices are.

I use Nebula, which is more work to set up and doesn’t have some of the features, not But if you slap the ‘lighthouse’ (administrating node) on a cheap VPS it works great. And it has some advantages. But Nebula also troubles me: though it’s fully open source and fully in your control, the documentation isn’t great. Instead, you can now get “managed nebula”, which puts you in the same problem as Tailscale: the company sees and controls your network topology. I fear the company (Defined Networking) is trying to push things that way. Even their android app you can’t fully configure unless you use their ‘managed’ service.

For now, Nebula is great, and my preferred mesh network (I looked into all the main ones). And for Tailscale you can run the administration server yourself with Headscale and be fully in your control.

Actually I wish Tailscale the best as a profitable business. They’ve created a fantastic service and system. But for me, I’d rather my network be in my own hands and for my own eyes. And, as is OP’s main point, once they have enough dependent users, the service might turn much worse.

I think that’s because both work on Android by being a VPN, and the system can’t handle doing two vpns simultaneously

Shills or no shills, using Debian does not reduce your reliance on Red Hat software all that much

Maybe, but if, based on one loud mouth in a Lemmy thread I began a whole intensive programme of de-redhatting my life, that would be a bit dumb ;-)

But veering a little more away from using Redhat or Fedora, seems a proportionate response to finally feeling there really is bad faith shilling and genuine red flags. My inflammatory language was perhaps just an emotional expression of that.

Does your distro use systemd? … If so, Red Hat has a lot of influence on the evolution of your distro

And that was part of the controversy, wasn’t it? And part of why, if vague memory serves, Debian resisted it at first. Perhaps your comment vindicates them!

I also think not being idiotic means acknowledging facts.

Sounds like a pretty sensible policy :) Thanks

Normally I sit back from this sort of drama: there are certainly bad actors and bad attitudes in various places, but in the end, for most purposes, it’s just another distribution?

But one commenter here, by looking so strongly like an idiotic shill, has now turned me against RH and Fedora. Hopefully the sour taste will fade soon and I’ll forget, but for now: Use Debian-based or Arch-based, people! Or SUSE! (I know they had their controversial moment, but AFAIK all is forgiven.) Or another! But keep control and consolidation out of Red’s hat.

I read this as a “rolling cheese distro.” Like Debedam, or Camombware. I use Brie, btw.

It’s a butter-cooled pc. More effective than water cooling.

Oh, I remember that margarine brand, ICBINB: I Can’t Believe ICBINB’s Not Butter

No, you can often see what’s going on and adjust your speed a little to let merging work well, without causing risk to other traffic.

Well, I can at least.

You can also move in one lane if it’s empty to let merging cars enter the outside lane easily.
