If you consider the core count in modern server grade CPUs, this makes sense.

https://tailscale.com/ This is essentially a mesh Wireguard Tunnel connectivity that ensures only you can access your service remotely.

:D

Tailscale is going public, so I don’t really trust them anymore

Even if the source code is open?

In general, for self-hosting, we hardly rely on remote service/server. The whole idea of self-hosting is to shun dependency on external service/server, and run everything on your own hardware and network. So that every aspect of the service is in your control. I don’t think self-hosting comes with much risk, unless you make your service available on Internet.

On a side note: you can remotely access any service running on home network via Tailscale[1] / Cloudflare Tunnel. Your services are never exposed on Internet. Moreover, you don’t need to rely on Plex for that.

Just a stupid question - Is self-hosting (and this forum) only applies to open source products?

UX is a subjective topic.

At first I didn’t noticed the 2nd image, and started wondering what kind of children book this is :P

Using Miniflux for more than year now with 0 issue so far.

My Nextcloud AIO :)

Nope, the server itself.

I though Signal Android client is open source and I can changed the server url if I can get server selfhosted.

I actually don’t want to run it on regular signal network. Just want to self-host it on my home server, and allow home devices to use it to communicate via tailscale.

Basically my own private signal network that my devices connected to.

Managed devices usually have software installed to track all such “events” that gets periodically uploaded to IT team, or gets automatically flagged to IT team based on security policies of the organization.

If you are using a managed devices, in all likelihood, all of your actions are getting automatically logged/tracked.

You may take a look at DNS filtering solutions like Pi-Hole or AdGuardHome [1]. It blocks ads / trackers without directly interacting with website content.

Third time’s a charm for Germany, I guess :) (running and ducking for cover)

I just increased the font size on their website. By "their logic, I should be sued as well :D

Good to know that that practice exists in service based organizations.
