It depends if you’re using Pangolin for private access or public exposure.

NetBird is a clean replacement for headscale/tailscale, but if your using pangolin specifically for its public tunnel feature then you’d need to keep pangolin.

NetBird is coming for you

Fedora for desktop, just because gnome is a first class citizen and it just works. On my laptop’s however it’s either Alpine or Void musl.

Hey, first I’m hearing about Netbird. Sounds amazing. How complicated was it to migrate from taliscale to netbird? I might need to do the same

Plenty of distros out there that don’t use systemd

Anti-AI evangelism is at its peak rn.

Between promoting AI integration and their Discord community… I’ll pass.

Sounds like proton is building a complete and centralised ecosystem, kinda like Google. Sure, they’re not the same as Google, and you can probably trust them as far as security is concerned. But, for me, decentralization is key to privacy.

If it uses more water and more energy, what exactly is “eco” about it?

Yeah, true. But I saw people mentioning XMPP in the comments and thought the link might be helpful for some. It’s not like it’s wildly unrelated to the topic… I stand by it.

This looks cool. Good luck with it

You did the right thing, and you did it gracefully. I would have told them to fuck the fuck off, and probably would have reported them to the department of consumer affairs and to the fair work commission (aus)

Totally agree. The docs don’t talk back and can’t clarify specifics or uncertainty. I always read the docs first (probably should have noted that in my first comment), but often I’d have specific questions or concerns regarding unintended affects on other services on my sever etc.

I’d never JUST run with AI to set something up. But it’s like having someone sit with you who knows what they’re doing, but dont know anything about your existing setup. So asking questions while also explaining my current setup, and pasting in and errors or warnings, is what made it useful for me.

I know some people think you should just learn from docs alone. That’s fine. My anecdotal comment was only highlighting how I was finally able to do something outside my knowledge and skillset because I had specific contextual help from AI.

I did both 🙏

I started my self hosting journey a bit over a year ago. Now I host and maintain multiple services for me and my family. 1000% absolutely could not have set it all up without ChatGPT. Just no way.

Thing is, I’m not a computer beginner. I’d confidently say I’m a moderately advanced computer user with a decent understanding of Linux/BSD and POSIX shell. I used ChatGPT to learn how to set things up gradually. Yes, things did break a couple of times and I spent a few late nights fixing them, but I never ran commands that I knew were irreversible until I fully understood what they did. This cautiousness comes with experience.

So, unlike many, I do encourage the use of ChatGPT for assisting with computer related projects, just know your abilities and don’t trust the robot unconditionally.

Proton has become a problem for privacy

Same bro, just became a supporter myself. Worth every dollar!

I know it’s not intended, but this meme is low-key saying you support framework (you just can’t afford it)…
