  • My home and corporate networks are both set up with igmp snooping.

    Problem with using tailscale is that if I’m at work, both my desktop and phone would have to be tailscaled home to connect which is not ideal.

    When I’m at home I need my phone to connect to my home desktop, when I’m at work I need my phone to connect to my work desktop.

    If they supported a list of static IP addresses that would work

    If they allowed DNS names as the targets that would work.

    If they could add IGMP multicast to their search capabilities that would work. IGMP is the option to be allowed to forward across networks.

    Bluetooth could work

    They could use MQTT or NTFY

    It’s probably about a billion ways to skin this. They basically just need some form of communication without knowing the exact target or being able to specify the target dynamically. I give it a shot every year or so get it to connect a couple of times and then eventually give up.






  • The opposite of self-hosted would be managed service.

    You run it yourself at your own location however you want it

    Vs

    Someone runs it for you at their location. However the want it

    VPS is someone loans you a VM at their location that you run yourself however you want to.

    It’s still relevant to self-hosted because you still have to do all the work, you were just using their network, power, air conditioning, hardware and fire suppression. You’re still in the hook for installs and patches, configuration, and software issues.


  • Given that this is a privacy community, I would think that it would go without saying, But I just like to point out, We should probably disable Firefox sync if were using it. Log out of Firefox accounts in the browser. Even if you’re not giving them telemetry they have all that data.

    You can use the x bookmarks sync plugin, Don’t make an account with them just use the un-logged in plugin to backup and restore your bookmarks between browsers. On the upside it’ll even let you copy bookmarks from Firefox derivatives to Chrome derivatives.

    Go down a comment or two and use Floccus, Just converted it’s wonderful

    at their location. However the want it
