Right. I think the real vision isn’t that every single person self-hosts, but every community has somebody in it who does the self-hosting for the community. Everybody can be independent like villages instead of totally centralized like empires
Ikea shelf instead of a rack, but I used metal shelves for better thermals!
Top to bottom:
they said it had widgets in the announcement blot
I have seen the tuta news… That really did annoy me, I emailed them every time I get one of them asking them not to do it anymore. It should just be a regular email. Not some special fake email.
I don’t see any ads
The general topic was about self-hosting. IPv6 is very useful for self-hosting,… connections.
I’ll admit there is a critical mass problem with torrenting clients, but if you’re trying to set up a wire guard tunnel with your friends, IPv6 is a absolute banger
In most environments ipv6 bypasses cgnat (because, why would you need a nat with ipv6).
I set this up a while ago, so the services are a little dated there might be something better.
I also use speedify, and I use 10, yes 10, different mullvad VPN connections.
I have three internet connections at home. Each of the three connections has a wire guard connection to my two closest mullvad cities and one connection across the Pacific.
Speedify sees the wireguard tunnels, and each of the three uplinks. And I can use that to aggregate all the different pathways and do a first pass the post race for every packet.
Every packet gets replicated 13 times, and it races across the ocean, and the first one there gets delivered to the destination.
It’s great for gaming! I was able to shave off 65 milliseconds of latency to game servers across the ocean.
Is this wasteful? Absolutely, but it’s fun! The reason I use 10 mullvad connections is just because you get 5 simultaneous logins per account.
There’s a couple different ways to set this up, Linux network name spaces, really intricate wire guard configurations, VLANs. I went with VLANs, it was the most robust and portable across different devices.

Oh well, I had no idea that speedified now supports Open WRT directly. That’s great
What’s not great is the new router plan, three terabytes per month limitation, 5x the price of the individual plan…
Discord’s main killer feature is Discovery of who is currently voice chatting in a room.
I’ve not seen any alternative platform that has the same level of voice discovery that discord does. Discord makes it easy to have a community, oh I see Bob’s online, let’s jump in and say hi.
It really is the local bar, you can just walk up and talk to anybody. That is absolutely critical. It’s open discovery, it’s effortless communication of status.
Yeah, to me it’s a absolute killer feature for a travel phone. The GOS discussion around it boils down to violating the android profile security model.
E.x., im using a hotel wifi that only allows one device, or I have a esim for one phone only that doesn’t allow “tethering”.
Fair enough on the security model, but at least give me the option… Maybe with a always on notification warning. Being paternalistic about how you think the phone will be used and in which context is overstepping for infrastructure
I travel with a backup phone, and because of this I have calyxos on the backup and not gos.
lineageOS, and CalyxOS both let you share vpn over hotspot connections.
most AVR, automatic voltage regulators, won’t allow for rapid switching on and off.
Actively cooled UPSes, especially the ones that do more active double conversions, absolutely always have the fan on.
PCU: power conditioner unit?
VRU: voltage regulator unit?
While the UPS does have lots of upside, there are some downsides to consider:
Battery is a consumable, off gas venting, perhaps active cooling fan noise
oh interesting, what reasons make the ups safer?
It doesn’t sound like you need a UPS. It sounds like you needed automatic voltage regulator.
It’ll condition the power so it’s clean, and if it’s not clean it’ll cut the power off.
Many good UPS’s have a voltage regulator built in, but then you have the hassle the battery and everything. Up to you depends on what’s easier to find for you locally
What country are you in? China?
Go to mullvad settings and choose random ports
Try 53, 80, 443 etc
And if you’re one of the people who can crack a beer open with the owners of Google, then you found your right community.
However, in the general case, I don’t think these count as any individuals communities. You can’t rub elbows with the people maintaining Google and Facebook. You can’t talk to them about issues you’re having, they’re not going to dynamically modify the system for special cases that are important to your community. A community is a group of people who know each other.
