I also use Tailscale.

It’s fair to say that I don’t really know what I’m doing, so am picking my way through the world of self-hosting one lesson at a time, but even with that in mind, I’ve found Tailscale an absolute breeze to set up, even if I still don’t fully understand how it all works, and what it can all do.

In short, I have my server at home as part of my tailnet. I’ve also installed it on my Hetzner VPS, which is running YunoHost. Within YunoHost I’ve set up a bunch of redirects which take the Tailscale ips of my various services and turn them into URLs.

So in essence, my Navidrome server goes from being http://100.111.11.1:4533/ to navidrome.mysite.co.ck.

I’ve got Navidrome, Immich, Home Assistant, Invidious, and Jellyfin running like that, and as far as I can tell I’ve not had any security issues at all.

52% of those who voted

In reality, Trump was voted in by around 32% of Americans who are eligible to vote. He’s tearing everything apart with a mandate from 23% of the US population.

Democracy, baby!

I have an Italian friend, so tried to learn Italian. I did French at school (30 years ago), so how hard can it be, right?

Real fucking hard.

WHY DO SO MANY THINGS HAVE GENDERS?! WHY IS AN APPLE TREE HE, BUT AN APPLE IS SHE?! (or is it the other way around?)

I’m English, so I guess I’ll just carry on the grand tradition of talking louder and using hand gestures.

No one can stop you ordering a huge steak and a glass of water.

OP said “unethical answers only”.

YOU WOULDN’T DOWNLOAD A REDDITOR

What have the Romans ever done for us, eh?

God I fucking hope not.

Whoa whoa whoa. As a proud English man, I can’t sit idly by and let you lay all the blame on the US! England is the reason for at least 80% of the problems, with the US only really coming along after we’d set the ticking time bomb

Get the fuck out with your American exceptionalism!

Took delivery of a Pixel 9 last Thursday after 16 years of iPhones. Within an hour of delivery I had it on Graphene and after a few days of VEEEEERY steep learning curve I’m really enjoying using it.

I have absolutely no idea how any of the sandboxing stuff works, and could stand to have fewer notifications warning me what the system is doing, but overall it’s pretty straightforward.

I’ve lost a couple of podcasts to Spotify. Life goes on. I don’t begrudge anyone wanting to earn money, but I won’t support Spotify’s practices.

There’s such a wonderfully low barrier to entry these days that there’ll soon be something else coming down the pipe.

As someone who’s made a number of podcasts on and off over the years since 2007, much of this post resonates.

However, I take solace in thinking that a podcast is just an extension of a broadcast; where a broadcast is, well, broad, a podcast is a self contained…cast. In a pod. Broadcasting covers audio and video, so it figures that podcasting would as well.

With that in mind, my own style of podcasting, and my preferred format is personal stories. I love podcasts that are by people in their bedrooms talking about their lives, or by journalists who talk to regular folk. Regardless of what Spotify do, that style will always be out there, available on an RSS feed.

I don’t use Spotify, I don’t use YouTube. If I can’t get it in my app then I don’t listen to it. And that’s OK.

I really need to get back into it though. I used to love making them.

I didn’t say it could, just that it’s easy to do (assuming your hardware is supported of course).

After 16 years of iPhones I switched to a Pixel 9 two days ago so I could run GrapheneOS. It took me ten minutes to install. Shit’s remakably easy to do. Assuming your phone isn’t carrier locked, of course.

“take him to Disneyland”?

This is a fun thread.

I’d love BTT on Linux too. The hardest thing for me with a move from macOS to Linux is losing the ability to zip about the OS with a trackpad. Also, I’ve had BTT set for years so that clicking the middle button on a mouse shows Mission Control. God, I wish I could work out how to do that in Mint.

I’m about to switch from iPhone to a Pixel 9 so I can put CalyxOS on it. Used iPhones since a 3GS in 2009, but the time has come.

I think most of the ones I usually mention in threads like this have been covered, but a glance through hasn’t shown me

The Blindboy Podcast

I’ll admit that this one may take a minute to really get, but once it locks in you’ll love it forever.

It’s basically just an Irish author, comedian, and former rapper telling stories, talking about mental health (he also has a masters in psychology), and interviewing people. One week he’ll be interviewing a couple of lads about insects, the next he has Cillian Murphy on. Last week was an hour about how he ended up in an office canteen covered in black hair dye, holding a bag of lemons.

It’s a wonderful podcast hug every week, and I can’t recommend it enough.
