Socialized losses are the norm. People’s energy bills are already paying for the nearby data centers .

You can use Netbird reverse proxy to connect your domain to any device on your mesh. Netbird cloud supports the reverseproxy too now if you don’t want to self host netbird on a VPS.

You can use Netbird Cloud’s reverseproxy to point your domain to a device on your wireguard mesh.

That way your home server can be under 3x NATs and dynamic IP and you’ll still be fine.

Later if you want to own the netbird you can self host it on a VPS if you’re willing to migrate all devices to your self hosted wireguard mesh.

You mean they’re complying with Meta’s age verification at OS level lobbying?

That’s why my side project energy has been focused on making decentralized solutions infrastructure more appliance-like reliability and boring. So app environment on top can have as close to equivalent advantage as centralized solutions.

ZorinOS is nice to Windows users if you want ui similarity

Sounds awesome! No rush, I’m a big believer in taking the time to do it right, not twice.

Just wanted to let you know that I find value in that + feel like it could help adoption especially in the self hosting community.

Would I be able to sign into multiple servers simultaneously? In case I have 2 friends hosting this on their own separate servers?

I care about that more than federation.

I’m emphasizing breaking free from identity ties to devices enforced by the hardware/radio. Not adding it to all devices.

It also limits open source competition in the phone market.

And the hardware. Your phone requires much harder power optimization in order to have a usable battery life. Same for size and heat dissipation.

Also politics related to the radio connection. Public cellular is tied to identity. It is structurally hostile to user-controlled, fully open, deeply optimized devices because the radio stack is certification-heavy, operator-governed, and privacy-hostile.

There’s also netbird which has reverseproxy setup options recently in addition to the wireguard mesh.

Self host on a VPS

Do you want database features? Or just markdown style note organization?

There’s a 3rd scenario which is not having the ability to detect when you are expected to lie to be nice.

Or it being extremely energy intensive to detect that situation.

Zorin OS is geared towards people coming frim Windows or Mac wanting to maintain UI similarity. They have a “paid” version where you just pay for tech support help installing + more desktop layouts, but the free version Zorin OS core is most popular and I’m sure the community here would be happy to help walk you through it.

If you have nvidia graphics card they have support for that during installation.

People put doom on microwaves, I’d call that general purpose computing.

After reading that… it only pertains to commercially licensed?

If switching from Windows or Mac and you want to keep similar UI for easy transition, check out ZorinOS. A friend of mine recently installed Zorin OS Core w/ nvidia drivers and is enjoying it so far.

To drive up fake usage numbers for justifying the bubble they created to shareholders.

If you come from Windows or Mac and want to keep similar UI familiarity and ease of use then ZorinOS is pretty good. A friend of mine migrated away from Windows and installed Zorin OS core, choosing nvidia drivers during installation. They are very pleased with the experience so far.

1. Copy files to keep to cloud or other machine.
2. Prep usb drive with favorite OS installer (zorin, pop, mint, bazzite, fedora, nix, etc)
3. Boot into usb drive and wipe hard drive to put linux on it.
4. Copy desired files back onto your linux machine

Yeah agreed for most people migrating from Windows should be fine.

I just had a bias since I’m just used to making my own systemd services and udev rules for my work.
