I have updated my @homeassistant setup yesterday, the RPi3 was not enough for the #tailscale addon, purchased a HA Green... the change was disapointingly fast... I expected to spend a couple of hours toying with it and it was done under 10min
I switched from #zerotier to #tailscale . Was and still very Happy with #tailscale
Tries #netbird the last 6-8 month. I Like this Quantum resistent Thing with #rosenpass
But i have Problems with the connection between #Linux Mint and Linux from #HomeAssistant
IT still Shows IT IS connected but the other devices is not reachable.
And #netbird uses a lot of bandwith, even with only one devices running, so no connection to another devices, it uses about 5Gb in 24h.
So, presently, i stay with #tailscale , because it just works for me as an advanced beginner in network stuff.
now we get to the reason I use #tailscale (with my own headscale coordination box) ... I can tear my network apart, and power the pieces back on in a different configuration, and connect and start fixing/changing configs, without having to exert any brainpower.
brainpower can be a highly limited resource. Tailscale removes the need to re-understand and fix remote access, etc, on a device after pulling it out of role A to put in role B....
A Self-hosted, BSD-native Gemini Protocol Server Stack
For those who are adventurous enough to explore the non-http corners of the Internet, the Gemini protocol is a delightful experience to use. It has been around a number of years, making the biggest bang around the time when discontent with the web’s general demise started to reach current heights (so maybe around 2022).
My “capsule”, Vigilia, is self-hosted, and has been since its inception. It used to run on a disused Macbook Pro running Fedora Server, under our TV at home, but since […]

#Netbird or #tailscale for #homelab stuff?
@RockyC I'm guessing you meant #tailscale in the first paragraph btw
