My router is just a Protectli Vault mini PC with Alpine Linux. You can essentially pick your favorite Linux (or BSD) distro and make it a router.

They’re similar but mainly Tailscale arranges WireGuard tunnels between peers. There are tons of useful features around that functionality like being able to route specific traffic through specific hosts (“nodes” using “app connectors”); it’s even better at finding a way out of hostile networks using relays.
Just as an example I typically use my VPS as an “exit node” so that all my traffic routes through it (which does a ton of tunnel hopping through commercial VPNs) while my wife isn’t into that at all, but both of us have Tailscale on our devices so when either of us accesses Home Assistant it’s routed directly to the host hosting it.


I used to just use a script with cron to update Cloudflare DNS records but these days I don’t screw around with exposing anything to the public internet directly, I just use Tailscale.


Are you thinking of Tor? i2p can be very quick once your node becomes aware of others.


Why is this always the go-to answer? I kind of wish we’d stop asking it must sync to the clearnet.
Honestly if Lemmy (and other services) were built from the ground up for anonymous overlay networks rather than clearnet in the first place it would be a better place overall.


Web developers (or rather those that pay them) will do literally anything but stop spying; fucking trolls. It’s disgusting how greedy people are.
(Disclaimer: I’m a professional web developer myself but thankfully not in the realm of unethical spyware shit like this.)


Even worse, don’t use the suggested Samba, NFS without a tunnel either! You should probably have the default ports blocked at the router.


Surprised no one just said Samba or NFS over a tunnel (Tailscale, WireGuard, etc).
Or by “sharing” do you mean keeping files synced between the two for replication?


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.”


Yep, as a web developer I hate this too. C’mon now, how hard is it to get this right?


As a web developer this grinds my gears. It’s dead easy to fix this.

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.
If you see a Docker solution that looks nice just look at how it’s built and replicate whatever software is packaged in its
Dockerfile.
