    Dont. They are notoriously bad at such things. Lack of Hardware acceleration mainly. These old Chips and problems with single-board-complications are just not worth it at such high prices.
    An Intel N100 MiniPC will have much more compute with less complications.











  • We cant read Apples mind, so thats wishful thinking. But sending telemetry (even if hidden) means it can be used.
    Thats why e.g. Apple is using Differential Privacy for apps to use… to not have to give the Apps full access to e.g. usage data.
    Of course Apple themselves isnt necessarily bound to that system themselves, who knew…

    And why not allow other Apps to replace your default Apps if you want to? Why not have access to that Freedom?
    After all you should be able to do anything you want with your system… or maybe you dont believe in this kind of freedom. Could just buy an Android phone. Fuck the person who wants to actually own their hardware, right? How could they be so dumb and want actual freedom, haha.
    No, we play pretend while Freedom is further taken away under “Privacy” claims. Maybe that replacement battery will send your usage pattern via shortwave radio to an agent nearby…








  • As far as i understood tailscale funnel its just a TCP-tunnel.
    So you handle TLS on your own system, which makes sure tailscale cannot really interfere.

    If you already trust them this far, might aswell do the same with a VPS and gain much more flexibility and independence (you can easily switch VPS provider, you cannot really switch tailscale funnel provider, you vendor-locked yourself in that regard)

    I’d connect the VPS and your home system via VPN (you can probably also use tailscale for this) and then you can use a tcp-tunnel (e.g. haproxy), or straight up forward the whole traffic via firewall-rules (a bit more tricky, but more flexible… though not that easy with tailscale… probably best to use TCP-tunnel with PROXY-Protocol).
    This way you can use all ports, all protocols, incoming and outgoing traffic with the IP-Address of the VPS.

    Tailscale might even already have something that can configure this for you… but i dont really know tailscale, so idk…

    And as you terminate TLS on your home-system, traffic flowing through the VPS is always encrypted.

    If you want to go overboard, you can block attackers on the server before it even hits your home-system (i think crowdsec can do it, the detector runs on your home-system and detects attacks and can issue bans which blocks the attacker on the VPS)

    And yes, its a bit paranoid… but its your choice.
    My internet connection here isnt good enough to do major stuff like what i am doing (handling media, backups and other data) so i rent some dedicated machines (okay, i guess a bit more secure than a VPS, but in the end its not 100% in your control either)

    Many systems dont support subpaths as it can cause some really weird problems.
    As you use tailscale funnels, you really want incoming traffic from the internet. I am not sure thats a good idea for e.g. homeassistant that is limited in access anyways.
    Might aswell use tailscale and access the system over VPN.

    And for anything serious i wouldnt use something like funnel anyways. Rent a VPS and use that as your reverse-proxy, you can then also do some caching or host some services there. Much simpler to deal with and full support for such things as you then have an actual public IPv4/IPv6 address to use.
    Heck, dont even have to pay for it with the Oracle Always-Free system.


  • In an more ideal world, getting less money because people tip less, would push you to reconsider the job choice and ultimately switch to something more lucrative.
    With less workers, the company would be forced to pay more to even get employes.

    Problem with this idealised scenario is, it doesnt work in the US, because workers are getting screwed so much and have so little choices at those low paying jobs, they’d be the ones loosing massively in the short-term.
    And with little support structures my the states and federal government, they would fail… and the 2 party system would fail them even harder, noone cares about them in the government… too much invested in fighting imaginary culture wars.

    But then again, using less services of the business leads to the same outcome in the end, so even that wouldnt work well.
    The business will always win in the short-term.
    So as it is ineviteable, maybe its better to think long term anyways.

    And everyone wants tips these days, no longer just a gratitude or paying low wage workers, but now also a ‘bid’… (sure not every worker might like relying on tips, but specially well paid servers prefer it as they make bank)
    I dont see you getting iut of tipping either way very well without government intervention… which i dont see happening, but you have orher big issues too…
