Beware the Great Eye of Google. Ever it roams, ever it watches.

Okay I misread that title as "Casio made a One Ring alternative"

True, one person needs an account. You used to be able to do Jitsi - and before it other webrtc calling solutions - with no account at all but now Jitsi also needs the first host to sign in.

But Signal calls, every participant must have a Signal account. The others, I can invite people to join with no account.

"Browser tech"? Just the fact you can make it work from a browser without needing to install anything else. Again, Signal isn't set up for that kind of thing. It's just designed and extended from a different use case.

Jitsi. Even zoom and teams allow joining without an account. Good ol' webrtc and browser tech.

Judging by the dumb car videos I've seen on the internet, I think both kinds can!

It looks rather short on forks!

Clearly the cat's name is Fork.

That is a pretty good reason.

I mean, she is prettier than Marx. Which one did you want to date?

Oh well, "if buying isn't owning..." Time to watch some Lockpicking Lawyer and trundle down to the car licensing lot and indulge in a little piracy >;-)

I don't think 2mil is enough to make a factory capable of making cars that can compete economically with mass-produced cars. More of a hobby project, I imagine. But if you can do it, even on a small scale - go ahead! That'd be great! Make the world a better place one bit at a time.

Also to some of us (myself included) 1M salary and 2M equity is already through-the-roof rich!

 

I've been playing around with self hosting for file sharing, backups, and a handful of other ideas I might one day get round to. I like the idea of a mesh VPN and being able to, for example, connect a travelling laptop to a 'host' laptop nearby, though my only public ip is a VPS in another country.

Of all the options I found, I liked the look of Nebula most. Fiddly in some places, but it's working nicely for me, and I appreciate some of the simplicity of design.

I'm wondering if people here have much experience of it, though? My biggest concern is over its future. With,

  1. The Defined Networking site focusing on making money off it, and
  2. The Android app doesn't allow full configuration (including the firewall, so I can't host a website from a phone) but - I heard - does if you use Defined Networking's paid service for configuration,

makes me worry they might be essentially trying to deprecate viable FOSS Nebula in favour of a paid or controlled service.

Any thoughts? Insight?
