This is the only correct answer.

At work we use Meshcentral. It requires you to host your own server, but it’s very powerful, and very reliable. We’re managing something like 400 remote systems with it currently. We also use Netbird as a secondary access layer (I prefer it to Tailscale for the simplicity of setting up ACLs, and the really easy deployment).

For most home server usage though, I wouldn’t bother with Meshcentral. It’s a lot of overhead if you’re only managing a couple of systems. If you really need remote desktop (why do your servers even have desktops?) use RustDesk instead.

RustDesk really is fantastic. No shade to any of the other solutions suggested in this thread, but 99% of the time when someone needs remote desktop access, RustDesk is exactly what they need.

I hate it with every fibre of my being.

Even if you use AI tools for drafting, you’ll want to know enough CSS and HTML to be able to parse the code and make adjustments where needed. Being completely ignorant of how to read the output from AI coding tools is never a good idea.

I guarantee there will still be VPNs accessible in the UK no matter what they try. My money is definitely on Mullvad still being accessible for one.

On their ARM platform you get something like 8 cores and 24GB of RAM. Honestly, that’ll run a hell of a lot more than an RSS server.

I have one that’s running three different minecraft servers simultaneously.

Yeah, I fucking detest the way morality systems in games work.

I don’t think they’re a fundamentally unworkable idea, but very few games have even come close to doing anything good with the concept.

Most just offer you two equal but different benefits, let you pick between them, and call that morality. See Bioshock. And the Mass Effect / KOTOR system always sucked because it punished you for going down the middle (ie, playing a complex character).

One of the only good morality systems I’ve ever seen is Metro 2033. For those who don’t know, the game has a secret personality tracker. It gives you points for taking actions that are pro-social. You get a lot of opportunities in the game to refuse benefits or give up resources to help others. You are never directly rewarded for this. It doesn’t do the bullshit where you give someone some food and they go “Here’s an old gun I had lying around.” Being kind costs you. It also measures the time you spend interacting with people, listening in on conversations, that kind of thing. Just generally giving a shit about other people. By the end of the game, if you’ve played your character like someone who cares about other people, you get an opportunity to make a better choice in a specific situation, that leads to a better outcome. If you don’t, the choice is never presented to you at all, because the character you portrayed wouldn’t even think there was a choice to be made in that situation. It’s brilliant, and it completely solves the usual Deus Ex / Mass Effect “Three buttons” ending where nothing leading up to it matters. To be able to make the good ending choice you have to have played the kind of character who would be willing to make that choice in the first place.

So… It’s a Fable game then?

Seriously, when has this series ever been anything other than the unseasoned oatmeal of RPGs?

“This totally amazing new product that everyone will definitely want might turn into a total failure if everyone doesn’t actually want it. Clearly, this is your fault for not wanting it hard enough, and not our fault for shoving a totally unwanted product down everyone’s throats.”

I just switched to Lawnchair recently, and I really like it. I’ll definitely give Dragon a look.

You can also set these limits in your compose file, if you use compose (which you should).

Most of those containers are probably grabbing more memory than they actually need. Consider applying some resource constraints to some of them.

Dozzle is an excellent addition to your docker setup, giving you live performance graphs for all your containers. It can help a lot with fine tuning your setup.

But what about the zero people who used it? Whatever will they do?

Do they have to edit your domain into a connections file or some such

Pretty much. I don’t remember the exact details, but that’s close enough for the cat.

No, as in the person installing the app to use the service has to edit a config file.

Yes, I have no issue editing config files. I’m self-hosting, that’s the point. All the technical load should be on me. But my completely non-technical friends should not have to edit config files to be able to access my self-hosted services. Everything, for them, should be as simple as possible.

I agree, but my point is that even in the minds of the people who think it’s OK to invade privacy like this, I still don’t see how this is supposed to produce useful results.

It can be self hosted, but to connect the clients to self-hosted servers you have to edit config files, so it’s a very user hostile solution.
