Aye, same. I’m Swedish. Not thrilled about the U.S. threatening to invade Greenland, or kidnapping heads of state. Denmark has been sucking up to the U.S. a lot through the years which goes to show that you can’t trust the U.S., ever.

Never used Pangolin, so I’ve no idea. Sorry.

A lot of people are boycotting as many things from the U.S. as they can because of the warmongering paedophile, and his cadre of paedo crooks.

It’s not exactly exciting to buy into products when you have that stinky orange mess breathing down your neck about how he’s going to invade your continent and annex countries.

Netbird is a European company headquartered in Berlin. It’s fully FOSS and you can self-host the entire stack, unlike Tailscale which relies on a third party implementation.

There’s a script on their github that makes setup super easy.

That said, I’ve no idea where their servers are, if you opt to use their servers instead of hosting your own.

Edit: oh yeah, they also have a YouTube channel with updates and guides.

It uses Traefik by default, actually. I’m struggling to get the reverse proxy function to cooperate with me still hosting other things on the VPS. I use it not just as my Netbird coordinator, but also to host my Forge and site.

It’s nice, the quickstart script is super easy to use and gets you started… well quickly. I’m still figuring the reverse proxy bit out, but it fully replaced tailscale for me in about ~10 minutes?

Nope.

NetBird is European. The stack itself is FOSS and self-hostable instead of relying on third party projects, like Headscale. It has a reverse-proxy feature in beta that was also appealing.

NetBird also utilises Coturn for STUN and TURN, and I’ve other software that depends on Coturn, so that kind of went hand-in-hand.

I recently switched from tailscale to NetBird. Similar solution but FOSS and self-hostable.

Have you exposed the subnet the services are on, onto the Tailscale network?

Anyone over a certain networth is evil of some kind anyway, so pedo or not it’s still a safe bet.

Is your classmate an LLM?

It’s definitely the latter. These are writing contracts to buy hardware that has yet to be produced for data centres that haven’t been built. All so they can satisfy a demand that doesn’t yet exist for a product no one is going to be willing to pay for.

It will crash. This whole grift is too expensive to keep going. The naysayers keep forgetting that hardware gets old, it wears out and fails, and gets superseded by newer models. The chip makers are riding high now because the idiotic belief of the market is that this will keep growing as the data centres keep being built and the AI companies will keep buying new hardware.

It just can’t. This candle is burning fast at both ends.

I want to see this done in governments. Tax the corporations, fund FOSS.

It’s the “we need to know and judge everything you think, do, and say” kind.

Orion is great. You can install Firefox extensions on it, and use the full desktop version of uBlock Origin if you’d like. Hell you can install Chromium extensions as well, if you for whatever reason feel the need to have those gutted useless things.

We can’t opt out of the system either because too much of it is necessary. Can anyone truly say they don’t need google? ever?

Yes. I switched to Qwant some years ago, and about a year back I switched to Kagi. Haven’t seen the Google Search page in years at this point.

The only thing I use from Google still is YouTube. There are also alternatives, I’ve spent some time with PeerTube and found things I enjoy, and I don’t mind supporting Nebula, which is also a nice platform. That said, I could probably just cut it all off. It frees up time to do something else.

I bought a Flint 2 last year. I’m very happy with it.

This debate always makes me think of Toni’s reaction to “closing the toilet lid when you flush.”

I didn’t know that people left the lid up. Feels a bit like not closing the door of a fridge after you’re done.

I know this one.

There was a decent amount of debate over the name for Uranus. There was already a naming tradition present, and some argued it should be broken. I think one suggestion was like “George’s Star”, thank fuck that didn’t stick.

Eventually it was settled on being named after the Greek sky deity Ouranos, which is the father of Kronos (Saturn in Latin), who is the father of Zeus (Jupiter in Latin), who is the father of Ares (Mars), who is the spouse-brother of Aphrodite (Venus), and sibling to Hermes (Mercury).

Old astronomers had big old hardons for Greco-Roman mythology.

Naturally the father-of father-of scheme didn’t stick since Poseidon (Neptune) and Hades (Pluto) are brothers of Zeus.

Eris (Discordia) is named after the deity that sparked the Trojan war. She wasn’t invited to a wedding on account of being a party pooper, and in true party-pooper fashion she sowed discord by throwing in a golden apple “for the fairest”, which Aphrodite, Athena (Minerva), and Hera (Juno) promptly started fighting over.

It’s thus quite appropriate that the planet that caused much debate in the astronomical community, leading to a change in definition of what a planet is, and Pluto being classified a dwarf planet, is named after her.

Changed my AD password today. Teams noticed, as it always does, and refused to load the login page in the window that popped up after it signed me out. Too bad most everyone is on vacation because on any ordinary day it would’ve been quite welcome.

Is it a generational thing, or perhaps a local thing? I’m from the Stockholm area. Never heard anything but “jag har mensen” or something along those lines.
