Why? wireguard doesn’t respond if the keys are wrong.

Can you port forward on the router?

I have no training. Moved to Linux when W10 came out, and just organically got to self hosting

I understand your rant, but also wanted to say depending on the motorcycle, that lifting it back up is a huge achievement that should be applauded.
I think my sport bike weighed 460lbs, but those Goldwings are double that.

There is so much more to fix than the right-click context menu.
Too much AI slop too.

Depression is complex, but nature, walking, the sunshine, the chance interactions and exercise are shown to increase mood chemicals in the brain.
The only thing keep on the whole world from feeling depression is brain chemicals.
To me Depression is a symptom of a broken societal model. We no longer live as communities, we dont feel protected, we dont celebrate daily/weekly with family and close knit circles, we don’t have a sense of accomplishment with modern work and life imbalance. We need to fix that before depression starts fading out of our societies.

Well its like the nature walks, the studies showed it can have a better affect than depression meds. Or an amplified affect with both. Humans evolved along side nature and now don’t live in it, our reptilian brain still enjoys it.

Or headscale, or plain wireguard if you have any qualms about the tailscale servers that moved from Canada to the USA several years ago.
- Comment on Looking for input: i want to build a bike pusher trailer 2 months ago:
A trailer might try to push the bike, which could be a bit unstable around a corner. Especially if you are meaning to slow down but circular acceleration thinks you are speeding up.
You might want to consider adding something like how mechanical trailer brakes work as an additional switch in the motor system.
To accomodate vehicles without a braking connectiong via wiring, some automotive trailers have towing framei as a sliding two piece mechanism with a sensor. When you are actively towing the system elongates slightly and there is no braking. When you start to slow down the trailers inertia pushes itself into closing a pressure switch or hydraulic system, that switch/system applies braking force to a hydraulic or electric brake system. So it self regulates braking. You could have it so when you pull ahead the switch let’s motor know its OK to engage. When the switch gets compressed closed the motor knows your bike is moving slower than trailer speed so it should ignore acceleration sensor info if it is getting any.

Are you trolling us with your choice between 25K and 50K drives?
I would never trust that much data to a single drive.

The British English I can’t say I have hears a Brit say it. The first American one sounds right to me as does the Australian one for how we’d probably here it in Canada dltoo

It’s as close as some English speakers can get. Some people can’t make foreign sounds. The ‘sant’ ‘sont’ ending is not right either, its more like a sohn ending with imperceptible nasal n. But again have you heard people to to speak a foreign language, it usually sounds terrible.

What country are you from and what language do you speak?

Proton or Tuta mail. Supports aliasing so you can make unique email addresses per website, and trash them if you get spammed.
Singing up for a paid account you also get VPN, drive storage, password manager, docs, sheets, AI chat (I know), calendar, meetings and authenticator.

Thanks, wireguard was pretty easy to setup, just time consuming mapping the devices and keys between devices. But now that stage is over its all good

Well it is a post about online privacy and keeping the prying eyes out.

Based on current USA actions, I have more faith in my own country and allies. The account info and control plane is what I mean, it could get compromised being under US control where they don’t seem to Ned warrants anymore

Are these relays? I think their announcement was data server, which means USA govt would have all your tailscale keys if they decide to keep going on the fascism.
- Comment on Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure 7 months ago:
Don’t use tailscale, a few years back they moved their server storage from Canada to the USA. Use headscle or wireguard if you are tech savvy
