Honest noob question. I currently connect to my self hosted server using Twingate. How would this be different? can you give me an Eli5 what a reverse proxy manager would make my setup better?

Download it quick before it gets removed

The thing with tailscale is that its just a VPN connection – from my understanding. Why not just self host your own VPN server?

My guy, you got to look at it from the bigger perspective, the whole country will do anything buy fix actual problems

Trust me, in the south, half of them have guns

You can’t post stuff like this in a classroom… At least in the south

Backups?

Does it even matter at this point? Any phone that costs more than $1000 is too much regardless.

Yeah Good point. the storage is the most expensive part. I did find these SSDs at a good price and with high reviews on Amazon which would cost $356 for 4 before taxes (a little better that 480€, but not by much).

Edit: Another thought would be to use the sata hat on the pi and get some sort of adapter to work with the platter drives but that would just add in the complexity and would likely require a PC power supply for the drives which would also add costs.

Haven’t read the article, but unlockable bootloaders are on the rise.

What part would be too expensive?

Pi 5, SATA hat, 4 SSDs and you would be good.

That’s one, but if you are priting a particularly delicate part, printing at an angle could strengthen the part significantly

Not sure what is going on with your setup, but Signal should work with any internet connection.

Well, with RCS everyone already has a baked in app that supports the protocol, but still doesn’t do anything better other the alternatives (I mean other apps, not sms).

I’m slowly moving all my friends and family over to Signal

No

I would recommend a Samsung S24, its pretty well built and closest to an iphone as far ecosystems are concerned. There are better android phones, out there but I would start slow if shes never had android before.

You and also use crypmator to encrypt your notes inncase google ai starts reading them.

Doesn’t seem to work on the samsung keyboard. Any keyboard alternatives?

You skipped the step where you need to first aquire a pixel phone
