The way I do it for a family member with Tailscale is them having a couple of boxes down there (n100 with their Jellyfin server, and a RPI4 with a TVHServer) with my Tailnet signed in, and those boxes running both a “subnet router” and an "exit node"that both me and said fam member can use.
This means she has permissions to use the exit node wherever like I do to my own local LAN, to connect to her LAN and access things locally since you can assign them via the ACL’s / device perms.
I know reading docs can suck sometimes but honest to god the ones that Tailscale put up are pretty awesome.
Along with all the YT videos about it I didn’t even have to go nagging on forums to get it to work, and that’s a general first for me.
1·19 days agoYeah, UK here and a couple of times I get errors about not being able to connect to the relay server in London + Amsterdam also with a public IP address from my ISP, but seem to have no issues even when it shows them unable to connect to the relay servers. The external Tailnet down at fam members house is FTTP but CG-NAT’ed, and why I love how TS works around it. Somehow.
But I have to ask. Have you setup the Tailnet with this fix for IP Forwarding on a subnet router (this helps me so much for tech support on said Tailnet…) and also UDP

I’m currently on my phone but I recall having to ensure the Mini PC w/Ubuntu / Pi4 with Raspbian down at their house had both the above when bringing Tailscale,
up.
Even when it works it’s much slower to connect to my server than VPN.
I wonder why.
Wireguard / TS runs faster than VPN’s, and even my family member has had a couple of devices on my Tailnet down at their place for a couple of years now, and they haven’t a clue how it works and fully believe I’m a magician.
Any background on your connection/location/devices etc?
2·20 days agoHuh, seems more about locking Chrome down but doesn’t touch on Webviews.
2·20 days agoAre you looking for something like Briar, or even Jabber/XMPP?

Your crosspost isn’t really clear, but I do have a superb sticker pack for zero fees?
On Boost it inserts the markdown like so

It’s an expensive journey if you wanna ever keep near Moores Law and why I like handing down shit.
A family member has my old Synology NAS and they still can’t get their head around Jellyseer but understands it, works.
It then also gives me a test + bonus backup place. Have fun!
Fourth person chiming in here [email protected], and I’ve pretty much the same as the above guys.
Segmented the NAS to being a NAS + arrr stack, N100 for Immich/Jellyfin HW transcoding, RPi3& 5 for Adguard and TVHeadend server.
I like the idea of there not being a single point of failure.
8·1 month agoAre people downloading youtube videos to their Plex/Jellyfin and watching them locally?
Of course they are, and you can stream the media or download it via many other means including youtube-dl.
They also still actively thwart users who are on a CG-NAT’ed connection so I ponder if the legality is now starting to bog them down.
but IDK if I’m great at it.
Simples is best, hands down. Maybe some tooltips wouldn’t go amiss on your demo page?
But as someone else pointed out, a link to the GitHub either in the header or footer of your demo page would be ace too. It was the first thing I looked for this morning seeing your posts and had to come back to the comments to find it 🙈
Keep up the great work, and I shared between our nerd group and they have eyeballs on it. Seems a no brainer for teams collaborating online where we’ve got used of shitty Slack 🤢 Dicksword whatever.
ninjaedit: if you want some help Android app wise, give us a ping. I have a few bored devs lurking looking for app ideas ;)
I love it, and along with the folder they get dumped into being R/O means Immich (and by extension me…) can’t fugg up the timeline ;)
SMB (the protocol) works across devices and OS’s, and I use SMBSync2 to dump my photos to my NAS + off site

This has worked fine for me for years even thou the app isn’t on the Play Store anymore, and is fairly granular in regards to file types and where you wanna back them up
Yeah I was of the same mindset for a good while and generally rocked with Nova since forever.
But when that Branch shit came about I dabbled with Neo/KISS/Niagara/Kvaesitso Launchers (which Neo is still the default on my backup locker phone) and others but when I got this Poco F6 I found the system Launcher works fine…🤔
Apart from this stupid thing which I think is more a “Xiaomi/HyperOS thing”, and not the Poco Launcher per se
Something I have noticed thou over these years is I really don’t spend too much time looking, or interacting with my Launcher so kinda don’t care 🙈
Do you worry about that Zero being deauthed since it uses 2.4 only still?
I ask as I’m having somewhat of a bit of lag / delay or something I need to look further into later with a Zero/DVBHAT + between my RPi5 / router which is using as its DNS provider (AdguardHome) and because I still use a 2.4GhZ camera (which has also been playing up recently…), got me thinking about having all the cams / Pi’s / SFF PC’s not only hard wired, but turning off the 2.4GhZ weefee altogether on the router due to Flippers and shit.
tldr: should I care?
Yeah me too, photos and videos I’ve recorded are the only things I’m bothered about. Backing up off-site all my arrrrr booty is redundant since I’ve shared it to a 2.1 ratio already and hopefully can download it again from people with larger storage than my family member has.
It’s how I handle backing up those photos / videos thou. I bought them a 512GB card and shoved that in a GLi AP they have down there which I sync my DCIM folder to (app was removed from Play Store since it didn’t need updating but Googles stupid policies meant it went RIP…), and I also backup that to the old Synology NAS I handed down to them. I suppose I could use Syncthing but I like that old app since the adage if it’s not broke don’t fix it applies.
Along with them having Tailscale on a Pi4 (on a UPS and is their/my backup TVHeadend server) and their little N100 media box I don’t even bother them with my meager photo collection and works good.
Your understanding is that you don’t understand what you’re trying to tout.
Which is telling. Toodle-pip beep boop
I think maybe you should just tell us what that 32GB is going to contain publicly, instead of dancing around questions with non-answers.
My backup phone / last daily driver had one, and I did use a SD card in it simply for another place to backup my DCIM folder as part of my 3.2.1 backup, but I did always wonder why I bothered because if I did lose the phone the SD card goes with it, making it pretty moot.
Still, I am of the notion that there’s never enough backups.
Because I generally travel within the UK, it’s rare for me not to have an internet connection so to be honest I’ve not really cared for a SD card for a fair while now. I understand in places like the US / Aussieland they’re a godsend to some but I’m fairly ambivalent on the subject now.
And having a ridiculous amount of storage on tap from a couple of NAS’s accessible via Tailscale, and my last three phones having between 256GB-512GB internal storage SD cards are pretty much relegated to other devices like my drone/GoPro etc. edit: I suppose another thing that fills the void for me if I do need extra storage on my phone is I can just plug one of these into the USB port from my keyring, and I’ve then got unlimited replaceable storage?
Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s stupid doing away with it and other things like IR blasters / headphone jacks and, more irritating to me? Notification LED’s. My Nexus One had one, my Mi A1 and Cubot had one but I can never understand why they ain’t a standard thing across the board.
They’re nearly on for a dead on slice of the Pi, but I’ll leave the puns out of it.
