  • The way I understand it, there's 2 use cases for a VPN, with different concerns and providers:

    • having access to your private home network from anywhere, through an encrypted tunnel (Tailscale, Wireguard on the router, etc)
    • having your outgoing traffic to the internet go through an anonymized exit node so that your ISP can not watch or sell what you are doing (ProtonVPN, Mullvad VPN, etc)

    Is Tailscale fit for the second? I thought not, as the exit node is not an anonymized VPN server but one of your own machines.

  • I agree!

    I think that we will keep having a mixup of "Buy European", "Boycott US" and "Privacy" because of the typical overlap of reasons why consumers change their behavior. I really like the visualisations that acknowledge this difference and indicate which alternatives satisfy which reasons for wanting to switch away from American providers.

  • It is.

    It's also sad that chickens, fishes and shrimps don't look as cute and aren't mourned even though they suffer all the same. They usually don't even get a plural form.

  • Codeberg is one of the largest Forgejo instances, run by a German non-profit, and is where Forgejo is developed. It also has a hosted Actions runner (Woodpecker CI) and is pretty close to Github overall.

    There is one important feature difference: it does not allow for private closed-source software. Only temporarily private repos.

    Check out this blog for a Github -> Codeberg migration story:

  • Interesting approach but looks like this ultimately ends up:

    • being a lot of babysitting / manual work
    • blocking a lot of humans
    • not being robust against scrapers

    Anubis seems like a much better option, for those wanting to block bots without relying on Cloudflare:

  • I want to have VPN enabled always on my phone. I want my music app to work on my phone.

    But yeah thanks for asking the right questions: I should split tunnel so the music app can go around the VPN obviously!
