Yes its CLI based

You can do this easily with Tailscale or a similar wiregaurd vpn.
- Comment on Self hosted Teams alternative? 2 weeks ago:
It is easier than you think.
I never said how easy I think it is so what are you basing this response on?
- Comment on Questions about selfhosting Git, and making some small scratch on the side. 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t even think about charging anyone for anything until you get it all setup and dialed in with backups, etc and are sure you know how to keep the service running.
- Comment on Self hosted Teams alternative? 2 weeks ago:
Then write a howto instead of asking here. That shouldn’t take much.
- Comment on Alpine Linux intro 2 weeks ago:
How so? if I compromise a containerized app I get all the data that app has access to.
From a security standpoint, each and every container running actually increases the potential attack surface.
- Comment on Alpine Linux intro 2 weeks ago:
Keeping containers up to date for security and bugfixes is just as important as OS packages.
- Comment on Selfhosting on old MSI laptop 3 weeks ago:
If you are going to store important data I would get a new drive. Either replace the internal or attach an external.
Also make backups.
- Comment on Build your own antisocial writing rig with DOS and a USB key 5 weeks ago:
Thanks for that. Unfortunately, unless I’m missing something, it doesn’t solve the work flow issue as my goal is to get my written text into a modern format that works with everything else I use, such as ascii or markdown.
Word Grinder hits all the marks.
- Comment on Build your own antisocial writing rig with DOS and a USB key 5 weeks ago:
I tried this setup for a bit. I liked Word Perfect for Dos but converting files to my linux desktop was a pain and I never found a workflow I liked.
For undisturbed writing, I use a laptop running a minimal cli only linux install with Word Grinder. Its a modern text mode writer app that stores files in text or markdown.

OP listed the apps they want to run and none of that was on their list
- Comment on Ideal Business Stack? 1 month ago:
A gaming rig is a waste of money because you don’t need a fast gpu on a such a server. You want a boring server box and even better one with built-in “ilo” remote management.

Everyone else agrees they are.
Really? Can I see the survey you sent everyone but me to determine this?
- Comment on How your showerhead and fridge got roped into the culture wars 1 month ago:
The story is not about a new breakthrough or even Energy tech at all. Its about policy.
- Comment on How your showerhead and fridge got roped into the culture wars 1 month ago:
The common definition of technology is any practical application of scientific priciples.
So yes, a shower head, a shoe horn, and chopsticks are all technology.
However, in the context of News and Discussion, Technology typically means Computing, Internet, Electronics, Telecoms, AI, Energy Tech, etc and usually with a focus on new developments, product releases, new breakthroughs, etc.

How is this a technology story?

welcome to the blocklist
- Comment on Open-Source is Just That 1 month ago:
It seems like the author is confusing open source with Open Source. The latter has a formal definition which includes a lot more than simple access to source code.
I also agree that no one is entittled to free support or enhancements, bugfizes, etc.
- Comment on Spotify debuts Gen AI ads, programmatic ad buying 2 months ago:
Lack of podcasts is a plus for me. Thanks for the suggestion.
- Comment on Tinker WriterDeck - Convert any laptop and most chromebooks into a writer deck. 2 months ago:
I can barely read the site. Light gray text on a bright white background is fucked up for people with even slight vision degradation.
- Comment on Spotify debuts Gen AI ads, programmatic ad buying 2 months ago:
I’ve been a Spotify subscriber since 2012 and every year it has gotten worse and worse in term of UX.
I think this is the year I quit and go back to buying and ripping CDs.

Sorry but the pinephone is not great. I have one and its extremely underpowered to the point of uselessness.
Its like trying to use a 486 to as a current desktop.

Over the air broadcasts, DVD and Blurays from thriftshops bought with cash, jelly for your dowloads you get over VPN.
- Comment on Low-level floppy operations with native floppy controller on older PC with modern Linux distribution 3 months ago:
Its fun and rewarding to figure stuff out and awesome to write it up and share with others.
I’ve had good results with ufiformat and usb floppies, but indeed only 3.5"
- Comment on Low-level floppy operations with native floppy controller on older PC with modern Linux distribution 3 months ago:
Nice write up! Curious, was this to avoid using a USB floppy drive?

I’ve come to realize that bluesky already had all lot of what I’m happy to not see on masto. Good that there is a place for it to exist without me.
That content is also probably what the majority of people like about it.
- Comment on Bluesky CEO Jay Graber is reshaping social media, but advertising isn't off the table 5 months ago:
I mean labeling their posts accurately to give other the choice.
- Comment on Bluesky CEO Jay Graber is reshaping social media, but advertising isn't off the table 5 months ago:
Bluesky is already coming apart. My partner uses it and last night she got a video of a person being shot in her feed. No warning. No label. Just blam!
Their influx of new users don’t all want to participate in labeling and moderation and they don’t seem to be able to handle it.
