For me it’s also the same with “hubby”

I second PocketID if all you’re looking for is Passkeys + forward-auth. The others are overkill.

I’d just add both Gmail and another email account to a desktop email client, then simply drag the emails from one provider to the other.

I really tried to use a “usb” install for a long time but could never get kernel upgrades (and some other packages) to work correctly.

These days I do a “sys” install but mount /var/log and some other directories to RAM.

I do this more or less, while the VPS itself doesn’t route over a VPN I have traffic forwarded between Tailscale and a commercial VPN.

It’s actually much more complicated and involved than that involving four double hop VPN tunnels, two that stay 100% in my country then two that bounce around other countries routed over the first two. This way my traffic exits the country without it appearing that way.

Bonus points if the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels use the same SSID and security. I can’t stand when people separate them — who wants to sit there and switch networks all day trying to find the best one? Just let the clients do it on their own.

I do most my work on the terminal so I prefer something in the middle: convention over configuration, most functionality included but rather small by default. More complex needs can be compiled in.

As a side note, I wish more Linux distributions’ package managers would allow for binary installation alongside source compiled packages. In FreeBSD I’m amazed at how well pkg’ binary packages play with ports-compiled ones.

I’m a web developer and whenever I see my (awesome) mechanic I always wonder what it’s like on the “other side.”My dad was a mechanic when I was a child and I always regret never picking up those skills.

A lot of times when they run me through their problem-solving I’m like “damn, that’s just like reproducing a bug to find its root cause.”

If you see a Docker solution that looks nice just look at how it’s built and replicate whatever software is packaged in its Dockerfile.

My router is just a Protectli Vault mini PC with Alpine Linux. You can essentially pick your favorite Linux (or BSD) distro and make it a router.

They’re similar but mainly Tailscale arranges WireGuard tunnels between peers. There are tons of useful features around that functionality like being able to route specific traffic through specific hosts (“nodes” using “app connectors”); it’s even better at finding a way out of hostile networks using relays.

Just as an example I typically use my VPS as an “exit node” so that all my traffic routes through it (which does a ton of tunnel hopping through commercial VPNs) while my wife isn’t into that at all, but both of us have Tailscale on our devices so when either of us accesses Home Assistant it’s routed directly to the host hosting it.

I used to just use a script with cron to update Cloudflare DNS records but these days I don’t screw around with exposing anything to the public internet directly, I just use Tailscale.

Are you thinking of Tor? i2p can be very quick once your node becomes aware of others.

Why is this always the go-to answer? I kind of wish we’d stop asking it must sync to the clearnet.

Honestly if Lemmy (and other services) were built from the ground up for anonymous overlay networks rather than clearnet in the first place it would be a better place overall.

Even worse, don’t use the suggested Samba, NFS without a tunnel either! You should probably have the default ports blocked at the router.

Surprised no one just said Samba or NFS over a tunnel (Tailscale, WireGuard, etc).

Or by “sharing” so you mean mean keeping files synced between the two for replication?

If it’s cable internet you might just be constrained by the available upload speed. I tend to put my media in Storj then run a VPS somewhere between all the clients that serves the media via WebDAV with rclone. This gets around the slow upload speed of cable internet at home, and I can cache the remote content on my NAS at home too.
