Thats the system. Its designed like that. There are books depicting this stuff from 100 years ago.

Yeah sure. Because a company paywalling functions has anything to do with network configuration.

What people like you dont understand is that there is no minimum requirement of knowledge to selfhost. It is completely braindead how often i have to tell people how a network works and now i have to explain to people why software configuration is not network configuration.

Yeah, i never got the point in threema. Any particular advantage to signal and matrix?

I did not make a “first” or “second” post about this. This is it.

It is absolutely a great idea. These shit phones are fucking dangerous.

They’re completely different, depending on your needs. Some work easily for those without tech knowledge or very strict needs at usability, some are for privacy enthusiasts or endangered people and some are for techies who want to advance humanity.

I suggest trying on an older phone you already have or buying a used one.

Generally, i suggest not buying new at all, as a form of protest, anyway.

It is the overarching theme in every aspect of life nowadays.

PLEASE LOOK AT THIS ARTIFICIALLY BLOWN UP DETAIL

While literally every other point will show you the opposite is true. Its how capitalism works in general.

Foss is a huge thorn in their side too. One reason why google seems to destroy aosp slowly.

Neat. Thanks for suggesting.

Already done. Thanks for the suggestion though. :)

You’re pretty hostile. Good luck with that attitude.

I run a reverse proxy too. are you talking about a public one? I’m probably gonna use a relay server for it which essentially is the same I guess.

Yeah, or not.

You’re an absolute champ! Thanks for walking the walk. Its refreshing meeting people who do stuff. Feel free to check out my kodi peertube app at some point ;)

I know. the issue is my friends dont have networks run by me. So I have to gain access to them and have to change setups which makes the situation likely to blow in my face. its just not a good solution imo. People have already suggested a relay server which will likely be the best solution.

yeah no. there are a lot of other solutions to this. they’re just a little annoying. others have confirmed there are similar setups like plex is doing with a relay server, but selfhosted.

I think you make a hugely important point and I would definitely use it and I might even be able to help making it.

That is pretty much how I imagined it. Sadly, its A TON of work. I have most of this set up in many VPSs for both me and customers (with other services of course) and I can imagine its probably the best solution. I still hate my life when thinking of implementing it. :D I bet its gonna be easier than I think but you may get my point here. Thank you very much for sharing.

yeah, thanks. but thats not gonna work for me. i live in a big city and none of us (me and my server included) have static IPs nor am I gonna get them (at all) and I dont want to pay for them either (because ISPs here want you to pay for them). in any case, thanks for trying to suggest something. it might help someone else who has a different setup. :)

Thats not what I meant. I of course have wireguard set up for administration and my own streaming needs. But friends of mine who were able to use plex by just making an account but now they cant because of course there is no relay server etc. I’ll have to think of a way to make it available to them (easily!) without putting my network at risk.

awesome. thanks for chiming in. I will have to check how to do external streaming without opening my network up to the world (metaphorically).

You’re now using mental gymnastics to blame me for someone else’s actions. Sorry mate but I’m not into that mumbo jumbo. good luck somewhere else.
