Ooooh that looks interesting. I haven't messed around much with tailscale since I set it up a few years back and hadn't noticed this. Funny, I was just the other day wondering if they might have something like that, but didn't look it up. Thanks!

Yeah, what @anamethatisnt@lemmy.world suggested is definitely the easiest thing and super practical - I got family members on my tailnet for this purpose. I am however now also looking into some kind of tunneled, reverse proxied and authenticated way to expose a few of my services to other friends where I don't want to have to put them on tailscale or potentially expose them to more than needed via that route.

I haven't started yet, but I am updating my network set up soon to install a dedicated OPNsense router as the edge for my network. From there, the plan is to have a cloudflare tunnel that accesses some of these services via a caddy reverse proxy, with Authelia for authentication. That's the part I have studied enough to feel confident I can do. I am a little weaker on the networking aspects of this, which is where I need to study some more - like isolating those services that are exposed in my network, while still giving them access to some other needed resources within it, etc.

If you use bitwarden as your password manager, it can also auto generate those for you when creating a login

I was looking for something similar for a while, like something for simple relational data with some GUI for data entry, aka "I don't wanna write a little web app just for this". I had used AirTable at work before at work so that's what came to mind and my searching was basically for "open source or selfhosted alternative to AirTable".

Came across some decent candidates, can't remember all the names, but the one I tried, Grist, was pretty straightforward and did the job: easy relational data setup, GUI for all basic data types including file uploads, easy to create input forms, and widgets that talk to the API and you can customize with JavaScript. Setup was easy with docker

EDIT: other names that came up when looking were NocoDB and BaseRow ( I don't remember why I didn't try them for my specific needs)

I just started using both recently and it's great. For the fzf file search, there's even some extension that can show a preview pane of text files and even images!

Thanks for that thorough explanation! As someone that knows enough to be suspicious of the usual problematic factors, but not really aware of the details, this was great info

5G cellular is high bandwidth but very short range, so yeah they need that kind of density to maintain coverage. They installed them in a street near me and they're placed every couple of blocks. It's useful to think of the usual WiFi router at home: you can set up 2.4g and 5g access points. The 5g ones are faster, but have shorter range and you need to use the 2.4g one if you're far from the router

Pretty sure this is the answer, they seem to always look like that. Close to my street, they have them and it's the same cylinder but installed on the old light poles

True. Although knowing this picture, and being from this city, I am irrationally irked by the fact that the picture is mirrored (condos are on the left in the original!). Maybe it was to align political left? Lol

Same here, I have chromium installed basically just for teams usage

Which one are you referring to? I just saw another post about this one that I just installed, which had been removed from the extensions store in Firefox but can still be downloaded from their GitHub repo. I just installed it on my android Firefox.

Edit: sorry, didn't see that your post was a link. This seems to be the same one but on GitHub

Most of it was just nice little touches that didn't change my day much, but the explicit sync in Wayland by also adding the Nvidia 555 driver has really been nice

 

So, not sure if I am completely off base here, but I had this odd thing happen today where I couldn't post an URL because whenever I did, part of it would be replaced with the text removed. You can see what I am talking about in the screenshot, and I am linking my comment below. Another commenter replied saying it was likely something related to a slur filter in my instance, so I am coming here for help to understand the issue. Sorry if this is completely wrong, I am not very well versed in the workings of the fediverse and different instance implementations. Here's the comment:
