In-reply-to » @bender Both Gopher and Mastodon are a way for me to β€œbabble”. πŸ˜… I basically shut down Gopher in favor of Mastodon/Fedi last year. But the Fediverse doesn’t really work for me. It’s too focused on people (I prefer topics) and I dislike the addictive nature of likes and boosts (I’m not disciplined enough to ignore them). Self-hosting some Fedi thing is also out of the question (the minimalistic daemons don’t really support following hashtags, which is a must-have for me).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Me too πŸ˜… – Speaking of which i know you’ve lost a bit of β€œmojo” or β€œenergy” (so have i of late), rest assured, I want to keep the status quo here with what we’ve built, keep it simple and change very little. What we’ve built has worked very well for 5+ years and we have at least 3 very strong clients (maybe 4 or 5?).

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I’m very glad twtxt/Yarn doesn’t have this. ✌️

In-reply-to » @quark Plot twist: I only drink decaf. 🀯🀯🀯

@quark@ferengi.one It’s as close as coffee as you can get. πŸ˜… They take the beans, apply magic, and then most of the caffeine is gone. You can also buy whole decaf’d beans and then grind them yourself. It does kill some of the flavor – but it’s not like you’re drinking black water.

In-reply-to » Great article from Tailscale about how security policies we've often seen in many large complex organizations that we all love to hate don't actually provide the security that we assumed.

@bender@twtxt.net yes but my point is my handcrafted set up also achieves the same thing 🀣

@prologic@twtxt.net do you remember Hamachi? Tailscale/Headscale is Hamachi on steroids. They are used primarily for creating a VPN among all your devices so they can talk to one another as if they were on the same LAN, even when they’re not. That was, mostly, my WireGuard usage.

I still have WireGuard runningβ€”because it is so lite that it doesn’t matterβ€”to use as regular VPN, but Headscale keeps all my devices connected forming their own β€œmini-Internet” 100% of the time.

@bender@twtxt.net What’s awesome about it btw? I use WireGuard pretty heavily here. And my entire family also use it to keep a VPN connection back to our home network
