The way networking has developed is honestly embarrassing. We shouldn’t have to have cgNAT or any of the other problems that come with how we’ve broken the end to end principle, and it’s made us reliant on centralized Services when there’s absolutely no technical reason why that ever had to be the case
I can’t wait till meshvpn technology becomes so common that we forget what life is like without it. Tailscale is awesome but it is just the beginning
I never really understood intuitive as a description for user interfaces. I remember back when opinion articles on Tech news websites would use that term to mean it “looks and functions exactly like Windows XP”
Jellyfin is the solution if you have a media file on your computer and you want to stream it to your TV in a different room and Bare Bones works fine. It serves my use cases for a lot of things pretty well, but for hardcore self-hosted streaming Plex still has more features and polish
Plex is more polished, jellyfin is basically functional but we use Plex in our household because we watch movies all the time. I have my own personal jellyfin server on an old computer
These same people are at the same time taking away freedom of speech to support a genocide. How do I know they won’t scan for pro Palestine content?
Yeah we all know that’s BS. “Child porn only” will become “anything illegal” which will become “whatever we want” and SL"with a warrant" will become “all the time”
I had a friend who heard signal was backdoored and that a regular old cell call was more secure. Had to correct that
WhatsApp Supports starving children to death
If you have a friend outside airstrip one you can tunnel through them. I could see some kind of tailscale like mesh vpn type deal being deployed for this purpose
dkyc fucking rocks
I assume on purpose
This is a huge problem. We need to start our own ISPS. Municipal owned or alongside a microgrid co-op are good options
My jelly fin server is running off of an entry level desktop in 2009, a single core celeron processor. I have to downscale video files to standard definition in order for it to keep up.
A cheap streaming stick might work
I’ve been thinking of messing with the FOSS tailscale implementations
What’s the jellyfin experience like nowadays?
We need to make tech that is useful for overthrowing dictatorships
And “porn” means anything pro LGBT
This is why mesh vpn technology is so exciting, all of the nonsense that we’ve developed to cope with broken Network standards that develops because ipv4 didn’t have enough addresses to accommodate the end-to-end principle just melts away. Tailscale works wonders for me, And the technology is only going to get better from there
