  • And PeerTube is pathetic. Peertube on the otherhand is “EVERYTHING IS A LINUX VIDEO!!! ONLY LINUX EXISTS ON THIS PLATFORM!!!”

    You’re not wrong, but the biggest flaw Peertube has is that the search on an instance is utterly worthless and defective.

    They do have a good search engine for finding content you might want to watch, but they don’t use those results in the instance-level search which befuddles and confuses the shit out of me, because you won’t find shit you actually want to watch.

    https://sepiasearch.org/ is where you probably want to start, but yeah, there’s a LOT of Linux shit, but you can at least find other things when you use a non-broken search option.


  • You have your coworkers on an unmanaged machine with a foreign OS on the guest WiFi with custom networking.

    Which, at any of my last few corporate jobs, would be grounds for termination, if not immediately throwing you out of the building and telling you if you come back we’re calling the cops.

    You really don’t bypass controls in a corporate environment like this if you like working there.

    (And yes, not EVERY job will react that way, but any that’s got any compliance requirements absolutely will.)





  • I’m somewhat surprised that there aren’t a lot of good alternatives but uh, yeah, there doesn’t seem to be.

    I would have expected there to be at least one or two good TTS engines but I guess that assumption is quite wrong.

    As to your other post, it’s less that I care in any specific sense that Microsoft knows what I’m reading and more of a (admittedly irrational) dislike of providing anything that an ad company could maybe later use to sell me shit.













  • Another (and to some degree more flexible AND simpler) solution is rathole: still requires you to host it somewhere, but it’s got a little more flexibility.

    Edit: I’m not a fan of VPN tunnels in general, because for most people all you’ve done is made a remote server that, if it’s compromised, will have unfettered and complete access to your internal network via the VPN tunnel.

    There are ways to mitigate that but, for what I suspect is the majority of people asking about how to do this, they’re outside of a reasonable technical ask.

    (Rathole works similar to an argo tunnel, in that it initiates a connection to the VPS, and then passes traffic limited to a specific port or application back and forth, rather than being a nice open tunnel.
