True, one person needs an account. You used to be able to do Jitsi - and before it other webrtc calling solutions - with no account at all but now Jitsi also needs the first host to sign in.

But Signal calls, every participant must have a Signal account. The others, I can invite people to join with no account.

"Browser tech"? Just the fact you can make it work from a browser without needing to install anything else. Again, Signal isn't set up for that kind of thing. It's just designed and extended from a different use case.

Jitsi. Even zoom and teams allow joining without an account. Good ol' webrtc and browser tech.

I require a small cottage at the end of the garden, and if you are to supply the holy water you will need to take appropriate care as to its transport in deion-shielded single-use containers.

A word of warning: if you extinguish your users before AI is ready to consume advertising, you ruin your financial portfolio. Stick with the extending part for now, and also keep the embracing consensual or you can get into trouble these days.

No one dares cancel Al. He is too impossible. Too un-cancelable. Too Weird.

For only 12.99M per month I will come and fight your demons for you. Like all good therapists, my ways are mysterious and oblique, but mostly involve a super-soaker.

Hey, speak for yourself ;-p

That is a pretty good reason.

I mean, she is prettier than Marx. Which one did you want to date?

I was going for the Harrys Truman, but this is much better.

Oh well, "if buying isn't owning..." Time to watch some Lockpicking Lawyer and trundle down to the car licensing lot and indulge in a little piracy >;-)

 

I've been playing around with self hosting for file sharing, backups, and a handful of other ideas I might one day get round to. I like the idea of a mesh VPN and being able to, for example, connect a travelling laptop to a 'host' laptop nearby, though my only public ip is a VPS in another country.

Of all the options I found, I liked the look of Nebula most. Fiddly in some places, but it's working nicely for me, and I appreciate some of the simplicity of design.

I'm wondering if people here have much experience of it, though? My biggest concern is over its future. With,

  1. The Defined Networking site focusing on making money off it, and
  2. The Android app doesn't allow full configuration (including the firewall, so I can't host a website from a phone) but - I heard - does if you use Defined Networking's paid service for configuration,

makes me worry they might be essentially trying to deprecate viable FOSS Nebula in favour of a paid or controlled service.

Any thoughts? Insight?
