Tech hipsters unite! Let's take the most esoteric operating system no one's used in decades (Plan 9) and port a modern #VPN (Tailscale) to it, because who doesn't want their network security reliant on a system that was last relevant when pagers were cool?
Bonus points if you can figure out why you'd need a VPN for your 90s-themed home lab!

I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:

Notifications & Development Workflow
Accessibility Focus ️
Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign, #DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!
I've also experimented with:
I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services!
What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

For some odd reason people consider it to be normal to be very very violated when it comes down to their personal privacy.
* No one should point the camera at your face without your permission.
* No one should sell you a device which has a camera pointed at your face 24 hours a day and you just accept it
* No one should sell you a device with a battery permanently sealed in it but that's another story and another storyline
* No one should ever sell you the snake oil telling you that it's normal to have a camera pointed at your face 24/7
It's not normal!
Now go and protect your identity cover that lens!
When was the last time you've properly used the camera on your Android?
No I'm not talking about the camera which points at the scenery, I'm talking about the camera which points straight to your face 24 hours a day every time you pick your Android up.
¿Well? I'm waiting.
About 990 out of 1000 people will answer this wrong.
The only proper way of using that camera is making sure that it can only record images of your face when you absolutely want to
That means that you need to put a piece of electrical isolation tape in front of the lens of the camera and it should be like that for most of the day.
Any other manner means that you do not know anything about securing yourself and about protecting your identity.
Do you consider it normal to have a barrel of a firearm pointed at your face 24 hours a day?
The question is rhetorical
Now please follow suit and do like I have done it for decades;
The only time when the camera is pointed at me, is when I want to; if I don't I either cover it, or shove the person who puts the camera in my face in such a manner that they drop it immediately, or else!

I’ve got to know a lot of tech by sort of accreting knowledge over time, so I often don’t have a good answer to “how do I learn about XYZ?” type questions
To wit, a friend just asked me how to get started learning about IP #networking and basic #networkSecurity and… I’m not sure? Anyone have a good suggestion?
