Or with opnsense as well

Headscale and zerotier as well

You can selfhost it on a vps with headscale

I would but you’d probably say “it’s not canon” or something like that /j (I’m equally start trek and star wars, I can hate and agree with everyone!)

Why not host your own git repo (e.g. gitea) so you can do 2 or 4 without opening services outside?

The chat server (matrix and xmpp have different ones, but same functionality) that act like a whatsapp desktop client. Have you ever run whatsapp desktop client on your pc, where you have to pair it with your phone? Same thing, but you do it withing a special “bridge” (usually as a bot) in matrix or xmpp. So you get all the messages in one place. But it doesn’t work for calls, just for messages.

Frienda no, but I do use whatsapp bridges so I can have all conversations in one place.

Family with extreme nagging, and because I’m the IT guy of the house so they kinda trust me/can’t be bothered to try and out-talk me.

Gajim on pc (I use arch btw - well endeavourOS because I can’t be bothered) and don’t remember what on android (there is the full list or clients and capabilities on xmpp.org)

No.

Yeah ok. First of all, because I can 😁. I mean z what’s good being an IT nerd if I can’t change stuff when I want?

Jokes aside, I’ve been reading more recently on matrix and looks like there are some security issues in the design of the app/protocol. I’m on mobile now, I’ll look for sources when I’m on pc. Also I don’t like that it is a server centric system (so data is primarily on the server instead of the clients). Also it takes more resources than I was expecting. For less than 10 users I can’t have less than 4gb of ram (on a dedicated debian server, running docker) or it swaps so much it kills the system.

So basically I’m testing out if xmpp is a better system for those issues.

Still better than the eyes I guess

I’ve been using matrix for years to this purpose, but moving to xmpp/prosody now

Yep, and I’m stuck in one. Get the fire department, tell them it happened AGAIN

I ended up with xz. According to this page it’s the one with the best compression ratio. It’s also the slowest but since it was one off I didn’t mind about it.

Username checks out! Also you’re absolutely right, just last month I was looking for the best compression algorithm/packages to archive a 70gb DB

Look up the yacy repo in github

for the downvoters, it’s a song from a Monthy Python movie, so comedy (and great one at that!)

Can confirm, I like both

That’s a feature, not a bug

Having multiple interfaces in each vm can lead to issues with routing if you screw something up.

Like you said I’d expose the services via reverse proxy in the public vlan, and enable ssh access on the firewall only from a jumpbox or the ip of your pc (or maybe the vlan you are in).

no, but they do
