Valid. But it’s also valid that it now doesn’t work for me or anyone who also helps manage other people’s lives or works on a team ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It’s the fault of my family organization or every company we use that my parent’s bank, Google, phone, laptop, etc don’t allow more than one set of credentials to access the same thing?
It’s not just that we need to be able to share credentials the once a blue moon I need to help them by logging into their account?

I guess a laptop, server, IoT device, or WiFi connection when your main device doesn’t have internet is out of scope for you?
Like fixing my laptop and not wanting to type the new password into my phone instead of copy/paste, sync when online?
And how are you sharing a file, to multiple people anywhere in the world realtime ish, without a cloud service you or someone else hosts? Doesn’t that necessitate some syncronization logic?

And you can both modify the same things without causing horrible conflict issues? And you can share only parts of your vault with someone rather than having entirely different vaults you have to switch between? I’m assuming you mean putting the file somewhere like Google Drive, and you can access it offline even if you can’t edit it offline? For feature parity with Bitwarden, obviously ideally one could edit any time and it would resolve problems when it came back online if there were any but Bitwarden doesn’t allow this.

Sharing passwords between groups of people so everyone always has the up to date version. Not breaking the world if two people try to modify the same entry as some file syncing solutions do.

They also don’t effectively allow collaboration though, which is my cheif reason for using a cloud hosted password manager.

Okay, now it makes sense. For my purposes, I would only teed the headscale part for inter device communication.
It makes sense though, rather than paying for a VPN for multiple devices (on those that charge per device) I could route traffic via tailscale / wireguard to a single VPN’d device.

How are you using Headscale, with a thirdparty VPN? I can understand Mullvad might have a Wireguard config option?

:P
I hadn’t even considered running not one, but three VPNs and chaining them together for different functionalities.

Will try disabling expiry and using the default app. Thanks.

This SnapRAID occupies an interesting middle ground between the least “proper” solution and the most “proper” solution for when more resources aren’t available or justified, it seems.

Rather than a single drive, or dozens of drives, with data randomly duplicated around or lost when individual drives die. Rather than a huge volume on zfs with it’s large setup cost and lack of expandability (until AnyRaid is done) and potentially unneeded additional functionality.

Then mergerfs is a natural expansion offering a unified way to organize and access the data that SnapRAID is securing (instead of mounting all those drives somewhere).

If someone merged these projects into one solution, and added a couple extra functions (like managing compression or deduplication, caching) it seems like it could be a comparable offer to zfs for different use cases. Imagine a NAS offering with this setup by default. Much more intuitive to users I would argue.

Sounds interesting, thank you!

I can’t email 20 pictures that are 5MBs each. Gmail caps at 20MB and other providers have random other caps. No one in my life with an iPhone knows what to do with a USB stick. Nor do I want to use a computer as an intermediary to get something I wanted on my phone.

I’m not saying there weren’t always ways to transfer files. There always have been and I’ve used many of those ways. But god Airdrop is simpler and more reliable than most of them for small every-day things from phone to phone especially for tech illiterate.

I use magic-wormhole often but I’m not asking my tech illiterate grandma to use that just to get some photos from me. I’m also not going to get an iPhone myself to iCloud the photos to her or whatever Apple people do.

If email works fine for you, great. But that doesn’t make it a good solution for everyone. I hate emailing files around.

I have never been able to successfully send a file between two different Android devices using Quick Share. It always gets stuck loading or connecting.

Because Airdrop is miles more reliable and easier to use than anything Android came up with (yes I am aware of QuickShare, it sucks)?

Because having two walled gardens where people need the same third party app to move data between them is silly?

Because Apple needs some “see regulators! we are not a monopoly, we are cooperating with Google :D” wins.

eh, I was thinking like Google and that open chat protocol.

Though I do dislike some of systemd’s architecture decisions as well. Like why tha fuck can I not turn off it’s own built in authentication to sudo mechanism -_-

I wish Microsoft adopted and upstreamed changes to OpenZFS instead of duplicating all this effort.

Though then I’m sure they would tell the community to fuck off by trying to take over the entire project and pushing the actually open and compatible version out of favour.

In theory, Home Assistant could also give users the option to ignore certificate checks.

I also haven’t seen specific details on whether Home Assistant’s implementation allows sensors to contact the internet by default or what setting changes this.

It’s just foggier and less user focused by design in my opinion. But as one would expect when Google and other large corporations were the ones to develop it,

I love to hear about a Canadian alternative.

Well Thread allows devices to require internet connectivity to pair. It also allows devices to fetch firmware updates from the manufacturer. And it allows features to be locked to their specific app. Thread and Matter are more complex to setup self-hosted style; it makes no difference when you use official hubs though. Thread doesn’t have many device types and manufacturers available.

Zigbee does not require or work over the internet, no trust required. It is very easy to setup self-hosted. There is a Zigbee everything made by everyone from large companies to random brandless places.

Zigbee is my preference as a result of the internet connectivity requirement. I do not trust random manufacturers to not brick my devices when they go out of business or choose to release a competing product.
