what if you go outside

Not for everyone, but they are aiming at increasing hardware ownership costs so more people can’t afford local AI

OpenAI/Anthropic is incentivized to prevent this.

They are also big enough and unregulated enough that they could use their power & political/industry relationships to drive up the price of local AI ownership (RAM, GPUs, etc)

You can use Netbird reverse proxy to connect your domain to any device on your mesh. Netbird cloud supports the reverseproxy too now if you don’t want to self host netbird on a VPS.

You can use Netbird Cloud’s reverseproxy to point your domain to a device on your wireguard mesh.

That way your home server can be under 3x NATs and dynamic IP and you’ll still be fine.

Later if you want to own the netbird you can self host it on a VPS if you’re willing to migrate all devices to your self hosted wireguard mesh.

That’s why my side project energy has been focused on making decentralized solutions infrastructure more appliance-like reliability and boring. So app environment on top can have as close to equivalent advantage as centralized solutions.

Sounds awesome! No rush, I’m a big believer in taking the time to do it right, not twice.

Just wanted to let you know that I find value in that + feel like it could help adoption especially in the self hosting community.

Would I be able to sign into multiple servers simultaneously? In case I have 2 friends hosting this on their own separate servers?

I care about that more than federation.

I’ve been trying to make sense of why multiple systems end up like this and how to design better. At an individual and small community level there’s decent good people. But once group size or resource pooling goes beyond a certain size more than human attention span, etc then rough edges are blown up.

It’s like small groups can operate on trust and direct feedback but once you get too big then rules and proxies start to dominate. And after that people optimize for those local rules instead of total system health.

Also in small groups you have individuals you tie to systems, but once too big you drop that association in addition to empathy when interacting with the system.

Maybe we need a more modular society focused on local good.

There’s also netbird which has reverseproxy setup options recently in addition to the wireguard mesh.

Self host on a VPS

Do you want database features? Or just markdown style note organization?

There’s a 3rd scenario which is not having the ability to detect when you are expected to lie to be nice.

Or it being extremely energy intensive to detect that situation.

Zorin OS is geared towards people coming frim Windows or Mac wanting to maintain UI similarity. They have a “paid” version where you just pay for tech support help installing + more desktop layouts, but the free version Zorin OS core is most popular and I’m sure the community here would be happy to help walk you through it.

If you have nvidia graphics card they have support for that during installation.

If you come from Windows or Mac and want to keep similar UI familiarity and ease of use then ZorinOS is pretty good. A friend of mine migrated away from Windows and installed Zorin OS core, choosing nvidia drivers during installation. They are very pleased with the experience so far.

1. Copy files to keep to cloud or other machine.
2. Prep usb drive with favorite OS installer (zorin, pop, mint, bazzite, fedora, nix, etc)
3. Boot into usb drive and wipe hard drive to put linux on it.
4. Copy desired files back onto your linux machine
