Yeah, that this happens elsewhere I have no doubt, I just never noticed on GH before.

Ah, I had been wondering if this is new, or I had just never noticed it. So it's the latter, good to know.

It's kind of genius as well.... A single comment will get the attention of potentially dozens of people, sent to a valid email address without having to guess/buy lists, and there's an air of "trust" around the (completely legit) mail you then get from github, containing the link.

Oh god

Although... Do you think VideCodersTM read github issues?

I got a spam message with a phishing link.... Via Github? Seriously? Are we really doing this?

Not a completely unusual comment.... From the URL it was very obvious that this was a phishing link though. Curiosity got the better of me. The site shows you a "cloudflare" captcha. OK, let's click the checkbox. The usual loading animation starts, then this is shown:

Yeah ok, right....

I'm actually a bit impressed with this, these captchas are so common, I didn't even really think about checking the box. But of course, that interaction means the browser will allow the site to add something to your clipboard.

But like.... Why distribute it via Github? I cannot think of a worse audience to try and con into "paste something random into your windows console". Am I just being naive here? Is this something common I somehow never experienced before?

Yeah but conduit is so stale, it might as well be discontinued

Sure! As long as it's nixpkgs.

I still find it hilarious that since dd-wrt and OpenWrt are just… Linux, you could install Super Mario Bros on there. I checked, nobody seems to have tried.

Oh, definitely, but there are varying degrees of difficulty, esp. with what kinds of packages / package management you have available :D

Ah, that make sense. Is Wireguard P2P?

Yes, in the sense that each node/device is a peer. But the way I'd suggest you configure it in your case is more akin to a client/server setup - your devices forward all traffic to the "server", but it never takes initiative to talk "back" to them, and they do not attempt to communicate with each other. Unless you have a separate usecase for that, of course.

You both are perfect for each other, so don’t screw it up!

I’m actually surprised nobody suggested simply using the Pi with OpenWrt as my own router. Though, that would make it hard to host Jellyfin.

A brief internet search shows that surprisingly, hosting Jellyfin on OpenWRT should work.... No idea how well though. Come to think of it, having OpenWRT on the pi might make it a lot easier to configure, with graphical settings available and so on.

Could you explain Wireguard vs. Tailscale in this scenario?

I've never used tailscale, I'm afraid. Normally I would say: just use whatever seems easier to set up on your device/network; however, note that tailscale needs a "coordinate server". No actual traffic ever goes through it, it just facilitates key exchanges and the like (from what I understand), but regardless, it's a server outside your control which is involved in some way. You can selfhost this server, but that is additional work, of course...

Thank you all so much for your help! This is likely the solution I will go with, combined with another one, so again thank you so much!

Glad I could help, after being so unhelpful yesterday :)

P.S. I don’t care if you wrap an ethernet cord around her finger, get going!

Eh... Marriage is not really common in either of our families. We agreed to go sign the papers if there ever is a tax reason, lol. Sorry if that's a bit unromantic :D Nice rings though ^^

I am actually considering getting an EV for transporting my Cello :/

It's unfortunately not possible to reliably transport it by bike (strong winds, icy conditions on my rather hilly ride to the city). Makes me miss out on re-joining an orchestra.

Everything else (groceries, work,...) would still be by bike, just... That.

That's great. Hope other states follow suite.
