What shoes CBH even mean? I feel like I’ve never seen it.

I recently put Graphene on my no-longer work phone. I think what makes it extra tough is that it feels familiar and simultaneously alien.

There’s an action centre, and you can edit toggles, but there are no editable sliders for audio and brightness. A lot of the icons feel like buttons but aren’t.

Then there’s the gestures. They feel a little off. The back motion can be done forward too, and there’s no preview of what “back” is. And I loathe the settings pane.

Graphene is nice, but I still dislike Android.

This blog post reads entirely like AI and the excerpt in the post or whatever doesn’t really make sense.

AI disclosure?

It it’s funny because I was sitting with figuring out a good monitoring solution for my own needs the other day. Too bad none of this actually provides any useful information.

I hooked my laptop up to the TV yesterday and learned that the Jellyfin app (on a phone) can remote control a web browser session. It was great. Utterly seamless.

“Privacy focused” “You can send your data to Google or OpenAI”

Lol. Lmao even.

Looking forward to it, I’m invested now haha!

I think in that case you should just put your travel router as a user of the group that accesses the home network.

If I set my phone to be a WiFi hotspot with my Netbird VPN on, my tablet can connect to my phone’s hotspot and access my home network even if my tablet doesn’t have the VPN on it.

So in that case I guess the router would be a peer, yeah!

Did you manage to get it working in the end?

Right? If someone wants to use an LLM to troubleshoot they’d do that. Making a (unmarked) bot account to essentially fulfil that function is a bit redundant.

I have Netbird hosted on my VPS, and have my home server act as a routing exit node, as well as the way I access stuff on my home network.

In essence, my setup looks like this

1. Network Routing > Networks, I’ve set up a network called Home Network LAN which exposes a Subnet for my home network, lit. the IPs I use locally. (192.168…), called Home Subnet
2. Access Control > Groups I have a group called Home Network Users, within which I’ve put the devices that should be able to access the home network (my phone, my laptop, not the servers).
3. Access Control > Policies sets up a policy called Home Network Access, which has Home Network Users as a source, and the Home Subnet as a destination.

I think that’s about it, really. If I am outside of my home network, I connect my Netbird VPN and I can access any and all things on my home network using the direct internal network IPs from anywhere. I have also set up the home server as a routing exit node, and added an Adguard instance as a DNS server so I can use my private network domains as well.

So basically I can connect to my Jellyfin instance either via direct home-IP (192.168.x.5 or whatever) or via jellyfin.home.arpa

I am not sure your travel router needs to be a routing peer.

I am also rubbish at network things, so if you have follow-up questions I’ll probably struggle to understand them.

Yeah. It had upwards of 40 comments in the < 24h it was running. It wasn’t up-front about it though. Initially I thought it was just some person feeding questions into an LLM and pasting the responses. I guess it’s not very different from that, though.

I think it’s what spawned this post.

He’s a rich, middle-aged, white man from the Nordics.

As a white man from the Nordics, my observation is that his particular demographic doesn’t tend to care much. They have theirs.

I’d also put mine in the basement, but I live in a flat.

How can we live life outside bigtech ecosystems, except for self hosting?

I’ve no arguments against this. It’d be terribly hypocritical on account of where we’re having this discussion, as well as why we’re both here. I obviously also have an interest in self-hosting. That said, I do think that installing containers is just a fairly small part of the whole, and quite different from running a plug-and-play OS like Linux Mint. There’s also the troubleshooting, and networking nonsense, and hands-on migrations when something big changes.

There’s self-hosted software out there I don’t want to self host because it’s just too much work. For example I use a Hetzner managed instance of NextCloud to replace Google Drive, and that still required me to set up and configure Collabora in a container and make those two play nice.

You know your partner best yourself, if you think they’re ready for this and that this is something that they’d appreciate then go for it. The “uninterested in software” bit would have me a bit hesitant. They might appreciate it, but say you break up down the line, what happens then?

I used to date this guy who always had trouble with his computer. I’d come over and help troubleshoot, fix things up. Eventually he got some spare cash and decided he wanted a new computer. I suggested we put together a custom one. We’ve since broken up, but he still asks for help with his computers from time to time. We’re still good friends - jag tror att det är relativt vanligt här i Norden, vi brukar inte vara så explosivt dramatiska - so I don’t have a problem with it.

It’s really sweet that you want to give your partner a slice of freedom, and had I been your partner I’d be very appreciative. You do risk kind of giving them a bunch of labour that they’re not very interested in. Like I said though, you know your partner best yourself.

This sounds either like you’re trying to gift someone a bunch of labour, or you’re getting something for yourself in the guise of giving it to someone else.

Get yourself a home server and get your loved one something for them.

I don’t know why you are annoyed by this.

I don’t read it as annoyance. It’s a rundown of them tracking down who is doing it and what it actually is. They’re just flagging for it.

Seems like good company!

What kind of pet do you have?

OOH! I was just sitting thinking about this, and thought it was the Russian word too. Wow!
