Thanks for explaining. I really didn’t mean it as a Headscale v Tailscale. kind of thing as far as data security goes. I’ve heard a lot of great things about Headscale. OP was just worried about his data being compromised, and I was just pointing out that it’s pretty tight.

Of course devs cater to Windows. 1 Billion + user base that are consumers. Why not target the biggest market share? I still use Linux, Mac, and Windows, although the latter is a ‘crippled’ version…very heavily modified. Until I can find a Linux version of BlueBeam that matches it feature for feature, then I’ll stick with using Windows, But I’ve never viewed it as a competition. It may seem shocking but I have no real preference other than what it takes to get the job done without handing over all your data. Linux makes that easier, but Windows can be tailored to do pretty much the same. It just takes a lot more work.

Didn’t down vote you but…in general, people follow trends and Windows has been trending for quite a while. Also, people like convenience and I don’t think you will wrest the convenience of Windows out of their hands no matter how much you try to steer them.

Windows is a dead end at this point. Start planning your escape to Linux before the cage door starts closing

That sounds ominous. What cage door is closing? I mean, you and a majority of people here, would agree with you. But I don’t see Windows going away…at least not in the foreseeable future. In as much as Linux has made some great strides, I don’t see it being a Windows replacement for a global population, in the foreseeable future either.

Journiv sure is blowing up!

Same to you bro

There seem to be some people think I shouldn’t have done that last bit, though.

Do your thing man, fuck what they lookin’ at.

Don’t forget to sleep and exercise

Even mild exercise, like getting out and walking, works wonders for me. Gets all the happy chemicals roused and flowing.

I’m currently selfhosting a website that has quite an audience (~2 000 unique visitors/day)

That’s something to crow about. Congrats on the site’s success.

On a whim, I did a search and sure enough there is a dockerized AWStats:

https://github.com/justb4/docker-awstats/blob/master/test/docker-compose.yml

I’ve never used it, so I cannot vouch for it, but it is a thing.

Even with something like no-ip, which some routers support, if the gateway is down, nothing is going to happen.

Music is the window to the soul and everyone’s view is different.

like listening to music (or even playing an instrument),

I have found great solace in music. I’ve been playing stringed instruments since I was 5. I’ve been a fan of music all of my life. I create music and post on SoundCloud. The benefits of just listening to music I think gets overlooked.

My brother…I empathize with your situation. About 25 years ago, I fell from 2 floors up, landed on my skull on a concrete pad and lay there for an undetermined amount of time before someone found me. I suffered a TBI that has gifted me a seizure condition as well as other mental/neuro issues. The right, frontal lobe of my brain looks like a piece of wadded up, cotton candy. I’ve come a long way and I have far to go. I am fortunate and thankful to be alive regardless the situation.

and short term memory [loss]

I spent a week in the hospital after I had a seizure and it wiped my memory. I didn’t know who I was, how to do even simple tasks, or who anyone else was either.

I use selfhosting and computers in general, to do the same thing as you. It keeps me thinking and trying to solve problems. I have problems expressing my thoughts, but the folks here have been patient with all of my silly questions and the occasional inability to grasp the information being presented here at lemmy/selfhosted. I don’t watch TV, but I’ve found structure in reading, and I read a ton of info. I’m more into IT (obviously), history, etc but no fiction.

I truly wish you the very best bro. If I can ever be of assistance, I’m usually around somewhere. We can pair your brain with my .25 brain, and fix something. LOL

I know you’re trying to tell me something brother, but at this moment in time, I seem more stupid than normal, so if you would, unpack that for me in relation to what I was explaining to OP about Tailscale security.

I think I’ll add this feed to my feed.

I don’t want to risk any data compromise at some point

What data compromise are you worried about?

• End-to-End Encryption: Tailscale utilizes WireGuard
• No Centralized Servers: Tailscale creates a direct peer-to-peer connection between devices
• Minimal Metadata: Tailscale may collect some metadata to facilitate connections, but this info does not include the content of your data.
• User-Controlled Access: You have control over which devices can connect
• Tailscale does not, and cannot inspect your traffic

I’m not the Tailscale sales person. Go with whatever suites your threat model. I am just curious what data compromise you are concerned with. If it’s the metadata aspect, you already blew that away when you made the post here at Lemmy, even assuming you are using a VPN.

coyotes in town

That’s understandable. However ‘I see Mr Jones left his garbage cans at the road for a third day’ would get a response like ‘Mr Jones here, I just ramset the cans to the sidewalk. Suck it!’.

I don’t have a use case OP, but the project looks great. Seems like it would be an obvious NextDoor replacement.

Out in my neck of the woods, NextDoor wouldn’t be effective. Lots of acreage between people. We don’t take kindly to snoopers and busybodies. We keep an eye on each other, but not in a nosy neighbor kind of way. Now, where my lady friend lives, it’s eat up with NextDoor. She showed me her feed once, I was like ‘You know, I strongly believe America could solve about 50% of their problems with this one simple trick: Mind Your Own Business!’.
