I use NixOS, so your first comment is totally 100% invalid.

You have friends? What’s that like?

Jellyfin or Kodi.

I’ve never been a user of Plex, but they’d never get my photos after emailing people’s watch lists without permission; they’ve shown they have little regard for your data.

Honestly any of the three of nebula, tailscale, netbird, or even vanilla wireguard are all great choices and you can’t really go wrong.

It wasn’t that long ago when it was openVPN or nothing ;_;

Check out Net Bird

In the same way however nebula could decide to switch to proprietary licenses and discontinue their open source offerings.

Sure but you’d still have whatever the last commit was to nebula under the MIT license. It can be forked etc etc.

I am sure headscale is great, but its a side project and if so inclined (not saying they are, tailscale seem quite generous), they could kill it a lot faster than Defined Networking could kill nebula. But its all a gamble.

I think nebula is really cool and am heavily considering it in production.

Having a paid-for service that makes things easier is a good way to keep money going into the project, I think. And it feels a lot safer in terms of rug pull than tailscale/headscale. The android apps not being in fdroid and have some other limitations sucks… but I feel like those are easier to solve than some other issues that could be there.

If you want tailscale, but not tailscale, check out netbird. You can self host the auth server and it isn’t some side project, the whole auth server is open.

the core bits of nebula are all open source. With tailscale, there is headscale, but that is made by a tailscale employee and it feels ripe for a rug pull whenever tailscale feels like it. with nebula, the lighthouse and user clients are open, so there is far less chance of that.

Yes, I understand, but half the stuff in the diagram on the website just doesn’t make sense.

Just make an RSS/ATOM feed and be done with it.

What good is posting to a self hosted WordPress and on WordPress dot com? This doesn’t make a lot of sense.

zfs is fine on a single drive too, and its cross platform, which OP said they wanted (though not which platforms, which is important here). ext4 is junk on windows and nfs doesn’t work well either for windows, which i assume OP wants because they mention NTFS.

ZFS?
