I’m quite happy with audiobookshelf. Sometimes I’m in the mood to listen to a book, sometimes I fancy a podcast and audiobookshelf let’s me do both with little fuss. (and it has oidc support for authentication which means I now authenticate with my single sign on solution)
That’s likely true.
The first I heard of Pangolin was in a conversation that followed on from one about head/tailscale and I accept that I may have jumped to a conclusion. I am certain I’ve seen people talking about using it as a reverse proxy tool. Just found a blog post on the tailscale site talking about how to do it and they’re using tailscale and caddy, rather than everything being handled by tailscale alone, so I’ll accept that I’m wrong on this one. https://tailscale.com/blog/last-reverse-proxy-you-need
I’ve seen lots of talk about headscale, an open source tailscale which allows you to create your own tailnet and I’m sure I’ve seen people talking about using tailscale as a reverse proxy tool, but it’s not something I’ve explored in detail.
Pangolin is somewhat higher on my list of things to explore than headscale though.
If you’re looking for a reverse proxy caddy and Traefik are also widely used.
With all of these solutions though you’re going to need to have some online provider somewhere handling DNS for you so that you can have your domains be pointed to your IP address.
That’s the one, sorry, shows how much attention I’ve paid over the years since games for windows was a thing.
I paid about £3.50 for Doom 2016 last week and around £12 for eternal, having not played a doom game since Doom 3’s launch. I’m enjoying the 2016 one and will look forward to Eternal in a week or 3 once I finish that. what I won’t do is pay £70 for a doom game. I might consider a games for windows sub to get it that way, but that remains to be seen.
I’ll throw another recommendation behind Karakeep. The fact I can share a page fromy mobile browser or use a browser extension on a laptop/desktop is excellent.
Another great thing for me is the oidc support so I can log in without passwords and rely on my Pocket ID instance and log in using a passkey. (Authelia, Authentic, Keycloak and similar identity providers would work too)
I’ve been using matrix for quite a while now and I’m very happy with it.
The thing to be aware of though is that it takes quite a bit of work to get started, but once you’ve got it up and running it doesn’t need much coddling. It’s got video calling built into it now and can be entirely web based if you want it to be. I have all of my signal, WhatsApp and SMS messages being brodged over through it which is handy. I’ve also got a discord bridge set up which will bring all DMs and let’s me bridge any of the servers I want to bring over.
it’s been my one app for communicating with anyone that wants to talk to me on any IM platform I use, as well as any of the federated rooms and spaces I want to access from other home servers I want to work with.
Edit: I also recently added authentication via oidc which was great as now I don’t need to worry about passwords as I just authenticate with passkeys on most of my self hosted services.
In a previous role our QA team went from 5 to 2 due to this sort of thing happening. one person chose to offer his resignation rather than get sacked, another returned whilst looking for other work (which he found fairly easily as he was really good) and the 3rd guy is still there in post. Interestingly though the guy they were bitching about was fairly universally disliked and this made life even harder for him which I thought was somewhat unfair on him as it wasn’t him who was at fault in this instance, he was just an arse.
