I want to be independent. My understanding is that Tail scale relies on a service they run or a endpoint you run on a VPS - Is that right?

Yeah been using No-ip free but I worry that one day I will forget to confirm and ill ge cut-off.

Yeah maybe I need to consider this.

Be aware of the risks of hosting your websites publicly from home, make sure to run them in very isolated environments. Having your VPS compromised is bad, but having your home network compromised is much worse!

Agree - Not something I will throw myself into.

Yes I use no-ip but have to confirm the domain name every month or so and cant use my own domain on the free tier. (Maybe im just being cheap) - Also I haven’t been able to figure out how I would use / get SSL certificates.

Wow thanks everyone. I think I need to take another look at some of the DynDNS provides and digest all your great feedback.

Id like to go beyond personal self hosting stuff and maybe run some stuff that requires Federation. Im just thinking at the moment.

I guess it depends if you want to put edge compute in each room. os just audio freeds to something central. But long term I’d avoid anything that uses any propriety service.

My two cents : Id make sure anything you got was based on Bluetooth audio and had a microphone. Then what ever you link them together with software wise doesn’t matter. You could put them together and run HomeAssistant or Openvoiceos for interaction or just have a media player running somewhere that feeds each room.

Yeah …

I noticed that I wasn’t actually using Switch Container so I’ve deactivated that for a while.

And potentially adding Twitter container to?

Am I going to come out of this adding Amazon Containers? I guess there is an avantage of being able to use provided domain lists for the big players but it would seem that it would be better if this was a single Add-One - and part of Multi-Acccount Containers.

I’m not sure what the resource impact of adding additional Addons is

I’ve noticed that increasingly there is a requirement to accept cookies for service - Now I know that this is potentialy not legal in the EU - its happening. So at least if you are limiting interaction of third party cookies across different containers and using different identies - there is some advange - and it allow you to maintain different personas as such. They are all only seeing a slice of your activity - Thoughts?

Ok that sounds like a vote for Adding Multi-Account Containers - to allow me to configure specific domains to a Particlular container -I like that.

Yes definitely. Trust is the key

Im ‘between’ jobs at the moment. opportunities for connecting through community projects is attractive right now.

Interesting - I will have a look at disroot.org. Im not immediately understanding them but thats probably because where I encounter it I try to read whats available in Spanish to start.

Is that https://keepass.info/ ?

Yeah I have some friends. Id like to make it easier for them. (With some recognition as well)

Yeah this was what I was thinking. Interested in what people have out there. I dont like reinventing the wheel - Id probably make it an irregular polygon
