I want to be independent. My understanding is that Tail scale relies on a service they run or a endpoint you run on a VPS - Is that right?
Yeah been using No-ip free but I worry that one day I will forget to confirm and ill ge cut-off.
Yeah maybe I need to consider this.
Be aware of the risks of hosting your websites publicly from home, make sure to run them in very isolated environments. Having your VPS compromised is bad, but having your home network compromised is much worse!
Agree - Not something I will throw myself into.
Yes I use no-ip but have to confirm the domain name every month or so and cant use my own domain on the free tier. (Maybe im just being cheap) - Also I haven’t been able to figure out how I would use / get SSL certificates.
Wow thanks everyone. I think I need to take another look at some of the DynDNS provides and digest all your great feedback.
Id like to go beyond personal self hosting stuff and maybe run some stuff that requires Federation. Im just thinking at the moment.
I guess it depends if you want to put edge compute in each room. os just audio freeds to something central. But long term I’d avoid anything that uses any propriety service.
My two cents : Id make sure anything you got was based on Bluetooth audio and had a microphone. Then what ever you link them together with software wise doesn’t matter. You could put them together and run HomeAssistant or Openvoiceos for interaction or just have a media player running somewhere that feeds each room.
Im also interested in Mangrove Reviews. Have to find more out about that.
The thing I like about mapcomplete is the ability to add photos and reviews for Bars and restaurants. that’s really good.
I find each application has its niche and I switch between them depending whether Im walking around or filling.in details.
i wondered something like that. Its a useful tool Obviously prefer not to be using Google Play Services but compromise makes the world go round. Better that than using Google Maps all the time.
Yes … StreetMeaure is very useful - Though I’d prefer it to be available from F-droid - I wonder why its not? Same developer right?
Can I throw in that once you get your stride with Streetcomplete you’ll love Every Door where you can add Shops and features pretty easily. They really complement each other.
Yes definitely. Trust is the key
Im ‘between’ jobs at the moment. opportunities for connecting through community projects is attractive right now.
Interesting - I will have a look at disroot.org. Im not immediately understanding them but thats probably because where I encounter it I try to read whats available in Spanish to start.
Is that https://keepass.info/ ?
Yeah I have some friends. Id like to make it easier for them. (With some recognition as well)
Yeah this was what I was thinking. Interested in what people have out there. I dont like reinventing the wheel - Id probably make it an irregular polygon
Ah so I started with this and got stuck. I was struggling adding existing layers which already had relevant features.
Maybe we could chat and see if I can have another go.
