Yep. Tailscale uses wireguard under the hood so that setup sounds exactly the same.
The Cloudflare tunnel is free. They don’t seem to have a traffic cap either. They’ll charge you if you want to use a non apex domain (e.g. subdomain) or if you need their more advanced bot detection/defense products. But a basic/standard setup like what us self hosters have is free.
Yes, and yes.
Their Android app feels like an exact clone of the Google Photos Android app.
To access it remotely, you can use Tailscale like someone else mentioned. But you need to have Tailscale installed on everyone’s phones.
You can also use a Cloudflare Tunnel to allow it to be accessed over the Internet without exposing anything from your home network directly to the Internet.
The latter is useful when I want to share a secret link to a photo album after hanging out with people so everybody can upload the photos they took to one place (something I used to do a lot with Google Photos)
Does everything Google photos does. Their app looks/feels exactly Google’s app, including sharing links. Assuming you’re running it on reasonably powerful hardware, it does all the same face recognition and ML based search that Google photos does.
It will if you explicitly ask it to. Otherwise it will either make stuff up or use some really outdated patterns.
I usually start by asking Claude code to search the Internet for current best practices of whatever framework. Then if I ask it to build something using that framework while that summary is in the context window, it’ll actually follow it
TBH, I’ve never used any of those features. I just used it locally and plugged it into home assistant.
But I just reinstalled their app and can confirm I can watch the feed and get push notifications without a cloud account. Haven’t tried email tho
Obligatory
Oh wow their front page doesn’t mention at all that their products run locally and don’t require subscriptions.
At a sea world??!!
😢
Also, have you considered the Framework Desktop?
It’s in your budget, and has 128GB of unified memory (shared between the CPU and GPU).
It doesn’t seem like a very “walled” garden if they were able to migrate all their data including issues and comments
And how do you de-drm them? Is there like some community calibre plug-in for it?
Making note for when I buy books in future
Where do you buy from?
You’ve never been to rural Japan if you think they primarily use public transport.
Hell, even in the outskirts of Tokyo most people have cars and drive.
That said tho, there’s no excuse for urban city centers to not be walkable.
Nah CEOs will mandate RTO for workers while they themselves stay remote.
Is it just me or does he have a bit of a Mitch McConnell look?
Ka…booom!
Because chrome doesn’t make any money
As someone who’s currently wrangling with so much C++ specific issues to try and make just one bloody contribution to KDE, this comment hits too close to home.
Might I suggest Bitwarden.
It’s open source, syncs across every platform I know of, and supports passkeys.
