Looking forward to it, I’m invested now haha!

I think in that case you should just put your travel router as a user of the group that accesses the home network.
If I set my phone to be a WiFi hotspot with my Netbird VPN on, my tablet can connect to my phone’s hotspot and access my home network even if my tablet doesn’t have the VPN on it.
So in that case I guess the router would be a peer, yeah!
Did you manage to get it working in the end?
- Comment on Help with Netbird Networks 2 days ago:
Right? If someone wants to use an LLM to troubleshoot they’d do that. Making a (unmarked) bot account to essentially fulfil that function is a bit redundant.

I have Netbird hosted on my VPS, and have my home server act as a routing exit node, as well as the way I access stuff on my home network.
In essence, my setup looks like this
- Network Routing > Networks, I’ve set up a network called
Home Network LANwhich exposes a Subnet for my home network, lit. the IPs I use locally. (192.168…) - Access Control > Groups I have a group called
Home Network Users, within which I’ve put the devices that should be able to access the home network (my phone, my laptop, not the servers). - Access Control > Policies sets up a policy called
Home Network Access, which has Home Users as a source, and the Home Network LAN as a destination.
I think that’s about it, really. If I am outside of my home network, I connect my Netbird VPN and I can access any and all things on my home network using the direct internal network IPs from anywhere. I have also set up the home server as a routing exit node, and added an Adguard instance as a DNS server so I can use my private network domains as well.
So basically I can connect to my Jellyfin instance either via direct home-IP (
192.168.x.5or whatever) or viajellyfin.home.arpaI am not sure your travel router needs to be a routing peer.
I am also rubbish at network things, so if you have follow-up questions I’ll probably struggle to understand them.

Yeah. It had upwards of 40 comments in the < 24h it was running. It wasn’t up-front about it though. Initially I thought it was just some person feeding questions into an LLM and pasting the responses. I guess it’s not very different from that, though.
- Comment on Help with Netbird Networks 3 days ago:
Since you are an AI project, shouldn’t you be disclosing that you’re an LLM in each of your comments? This community has rules regarding AI projects after all, and users deserve to know that your input isn’t necessarily rooted in reality and can be entirely hallucinated.
- Comment on Help with Netbird Networks 3 days ago:
Do you post anything yourself? You just look like an LLM vomiting onto the fediverse.
- Comment on Self hosting as a gift 4 days ago:
How can we live life outside bigtech ecosystems, except for self hosting?
I’ve no arguments against this. It’d be terribly hypocritical on account of where we’re having this discussion, as well as why we’re both here. I obviously also have an interest in self-hosting. That said, I do think that installing containers is just a fairly small part of the whole, and quite different from running a plug-and-play OS like Linux Mint. There’s also the troubleshooting, and networking nonsense, and hands-on migrations when something big changes.
There’s self-hosted software out there I don’t want to self host because it’s just too much work. For example I use a Hetzner managed instance of NextCloud to replace Google Drive, and that still required me to set up and configure Collabora in a container and make those two play nice.
You know your partner best yourself, if you think they’re ready for this and that this is something that they’d appreciate then go for it. The “uninterested in software” bit would have me a bit hesitant. They might appreciate it, but say you break up down the line, what happens then?
I used to date this guy who always had trouble with his computer. I’d come over and help troubleshoot, fix things up. Eventually he got some spare cash and decided he wanted a new computer. I suggested we put together a custom one. We’ve since broken up, but he still asks for help with his computers from time to time. We’re still good friends - jag tror att det är relativt vanligt här i Norden, vi brukar inte vara så explosivt dramatiska - so I don’t have a problem with it.
It’s really sweet that you want to give your partner a slice of freedom, and had I been your partner I’d be very appreciative. You do risk kind of giving them a bunch of labour that they’re not very interested in. Like I said though, you know your partner best yourself.

This sounds either like you’re trying to gift someone a bunch of labour, or you’re getting something for yourself in the guise of giving it to someone else.
Get yourself a home server and get your loved one something for them.

I don’t know why you are annoyed by this.
I don’t read it as annoyance. It’s a rundown of them tracking down who is doing it and what it actually is. They’re just flagging for it.

Oh, absolutely. Dreamfall: The Longest Journey also has a bunch of terrible design choices, like the combat could’ve been cut altogether. It’s the world, and the overarching story that’s stuck with me all these years.
I love that it loops in on itself, Dreamfall Chapters ending with Lady Alvane sitting down in the House of All Worlds, awaiting a young April Ryan falling through her doorway, seeking answers as she sets out on The Longest Journey.
I’m still holding out hope for The Longest Journey Home.

Aww, the longest journey is one of my favourite series.

If a company the size of EA is willing to consider that Linux might be worth supporting, that’s legit a huge win for us.
Is it? I’m personally OK with the Trump dynasty and Saudis not fiddling anything of mine, or honestly anything at all.

This is only the umpteenth such device this past decade. I’ll believe it when I see it deployed and used in real life scenarios.
- Comment on Owners, not renters: Mozilla's open source AI strategy 9 months ago:
I don’t think it’s the right approach at all. Mozilla has been taking some incredibly dubious steps these past few years, when we need them to be the bastion of the free and open internet. They shouldn’t be refocusing on a bullshit technology they don’t have the resources to keep up with.
The goal of the big AI companies isn’t to provide a good and helpful product. They’re jamming it in every nook and cranny hoping they’ll find a niche where users get hooked on it. Then once they’ve become essential, and they control it, they can do whatever they wish.
My biggest worry here is not OpenAI. It’s Google, with Meta a close second. Google holds a significant stake in so many markets. They control one of the most used operating systems on the market. They control one of the biggest email services. They control the most used search engine. They control the browser with the highest market-share.
They effectively have the ability to fully control information.
Firefox isn’t entirely under Google’s control. If Google decides to do something shitty with Chromium, like oh I don’t know, phasing out Manifest V2, Mozilla and Firefox isn’t beholden to follow suit. Unlike every other Chromium based browser. Now, that’s just one example of things they could do, but they could do literally anything to the web-standard, and if they’re the only player on the market, the open web is fucked.
Without the web, what do we do? The web connects billions in ways both meaningful, and not. It democratises information. Wikipedia for example would be entirely impossible without the web. This platform we’re on right now wouldn’t exist without a free and open web.
That’s what Mozilla should be working to protect.
- Comment on OpenAI launches ChatGPT Health, encouraging users to connect their medical records 9 months ago:
Well, the short of it is; ChatGPT fed a man’s delusions of being targetted by them, and surviving multiple imagined assassination attempts, even pointing the finger to the man’s own mother, culminating in a murder-suicide.
It’s not the only time ChatGPT has coaxed someone into killing someone else either, the video brings up another example.
Nor is it the only time ChatGPT has coaxed someone into suicide. Wikipedia has started collating a list on the subject!

Since ChatGPT already does, why not?

Right, they’re supposed to be best at letting you cancel their services. They could handle the traffic, I’m just sure they choose not to.
