Yeah, basically. It does bundle wireguard so that it can reverse proxy services over that. That’s probably what you were thinking of.

Pangolin Is a reverse proxy for TLS/https. Headscale is the self hosted Tailscale.

That argument is straightforward and clear and should be spread more widely than it is.

Indeed, the "evilness" of apple is really directed more frontally at app developers. That's their cash cow.

That's a bit extreme to worry about. If the app is disabled and has no permissions, it can't run or share your data with Meta. It's just sitting there wasting storage space.

I have Tailscale (actually headscale) set up on all my devices and the performance is good enough I don’t turn it off when I’m home and on the same lan as my server. The connection is p2p so it’s just a little encryption overhead. When I travel to other networks like my mobile network, or various corp wifi networks, it continues to try to get a p2p connection. Only sometimes corporate wifi networks block p2p and the traffic round trips through my VPS. It does take a lot of load off the VPS compared to the old way with openVPN. It also continues to work “for a while” if the VPS is down.

Exactly. Plex could have been “profitable” in the sense that revenue covered infrastructure and paid a handful of full time employees, but that’s not what VC money needs.

If you are using wireguard from the VPS to your home server, it buys you nothing more. If you have mobile devices connecting directly to the home server, Tailscale will let them connect directly in most cases, which is nice.

I’m willing to recommend Tailscale because I run headscale and it does basically everything a selfhoster needs. When the free version is passable, it’s harder to enshitify the commercial version.

Wordtsar looks fun. I may try it out. I feel like converting to markdown and then using a plugin to push it into Wordpress is maybe just the precursor to going full-on static site generator ;)

Bold of you to assume the people who would make excuses for this would ever even read CBC or any news sources that cover anything bad about the Alberta government.

Excellent point.
