So my setup rigjt now:

• vps with headscale
• all devices connect to it
• in my home lab a vm running a tailscale client and a reverse proxy with a Wildcard cert
• all other services run as their own VMS and the proxy routes to them
• i have a dmz (not yet public) running a proxy with tailscale again for a different domain
• dmz runs a authentik vm which i use for access controll and user management
• backup Server connects to tailscale as well and proxmox pushes zfs snapshots every day

My long term goal is to move to pangolin as a reverse proxy on the vps and tailscale alternative and remove tailscale, as i find its very battery inefficient on Android (no subnet Router etc).

So i just give people access to the VPN and send them an authentik invite and thats it. With pangolin i dont even have to give them a VPN access anymore, it can be done via authentik i think.

A vps is 3-6€ and the tailscale standard is 10€ so its even cheaper, but a bit more setup to maintain. But it allows a ton of users :) so i guess this would be the smallest change with the highest impact

Authentik is nice to have but a pain to set up as the oicd stuff can be tricky. Immich was super ez, nextcloud was OK, docspell was a pain and ocis does not work with authentik becsuse they use different architectures for sso. (Ocis and authentik are a bit dumb here)

It seems this lobby has 3 types of players:

1. noobs with a bit of trash in their pockets and a depression
2. veterans that collected it all
3. veterans that found out a cigarette and a piece of wire is all they need

I disagree but like the discourse

I feel like there is a lot lore right wing propaganda or from Russia and China to destabilize the west. The reason I feel like is that the crazy rich people did not have moral or a back bone in the first place which is the reason why they accumulated the power and wealth in the first place to influence others. Like i said, watch the video of benn Jordan about that.

Also, you might feel or be resistant to propaganda, but I bet your and my parents or great parents are not and they still make the minority of voters

Number 1 argument for me is, your data can be used to manipulate you, postly politically. You might not be a big target because you use Lemmy and linux and a vpn or whatever but other people that are not interested in tech are

Even if its not political manipulation, maybe its optimizing ads so you buy more. Which then can be used to manipulate you politically as you lack the funds to stand up for your morals. And even if you personally do, because you might have a privileged background, others might not and for them its absolutely worth fighting for.

Benn Jordan has a great video about it
