Oops, didn’t notice which community we were in 😂

BeyondTrust and SimpleHelp both support this functionality. You can invite a second technician to join the session. I suspect all they’re really doing is opening up a second session at the same time, but the end result is that you can have two people remotely controlling a single computer.

But those are both “tech support” focused tools, so I don’t know if they quite fit your use case. Parsec is another option that specifically advertises collaborative work like pair programming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA21BnUsBJI

If you want a no-code solution, I recently created a homepage using GrapesJS (for free). I’m hosting it on Cloudflare Pages (for free). The whole setup was dead simple and almost completely free, I’m only paying for the domain.

EDIT: oops, that isn’t technically self-hosted…but GrapesJS is a very cool tool for building a simple HTML website. Just make it looks like you want and it’ll spit out all the files you need for hosting wherever your heart desires. Caddy, GitHub, whatever.

Looks like a project that utilizes coqui-AI: https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS

If your budget is $150, then you need to look for used options on eBay. Look for Dell Optiplex or Lenovo ThinkCentre towers. You will not find specs that good in your price range. But maybe you can get a decent CPU and save money to upgrade your RAM later.

MAYBE you’ll get lucky and find an old Dell server on eBay. Sometimes IT guys will sell their company’s old server for a profit. But I personally wouldn’t buy one of those, the monthly electricity costs are stupid.

Looking for recommendations for a racecar, at least 800 horsepower. Needs to hit 60 mph in under 4 seconds.

My budget is $2000. Please give recommendations.

LOL

Yuuuup. I really don’t understand why it’s so popular. It’s bloated and overly complex. I’ve tried running an instance twice in the past few years, and both times I gave up within a week.

Sometimes these issues happen because of the IP range you’re using. If your local network and your remote network both use the 192.168.x.x range, then there can be conflicts and issues like this. This is a thing that happens generally with VPNs, not sure how Tailscale specifically functions with this issue.

Even if that’s not what’s going on here, you might try setting up your remote node as an exit node, and configuring your local node to route all traffic through it. Theoretically that shouldn’t be necessary, and it will also slow down your traffic if you’re routing EVERYTHING through Tailscale. But it could work in a pinch.

Actually, I’m looking at Tailscale documentation now and I see that they recommend setting up subnet routers instead of exit nodes in most cases. Maybe go that route instead, that makes more sense to me. That way you’re only routing necessary traffic through the remote node, rather than everything.

It’s pretty easy to do this with Cloudflare Tunnels. You can set them up to use a Google account for SSO. Downside of course is that you’re reliant on Google and CF.

You said you already have Blink cams, what about this thing? https://www.amazon.com/Blink-Sync-Module-2/dp/B084RQ6MHJ/ Stick in a flash drive and it’s kinda like a DVR.

Ideal setup would be a proper DVR with proper IP cameras. Ethernet would be better but wireless is doable. I don’t have enough knowledge to make a proper recommendation but people seem to like Reolink as an affordable option: https://reolink.com/us/product/rlk12-500wb4/

If you don’t want to set up a DVR or spend all that money, there are plenty of cheap cameras that write to a microSD card, you could just buy a few of those and buy some massive SD cards that would allow you to record weeks worth of motion events. But of course reviewing all that footage will be a pain without a central DVR. I like my Tapo cameras, and Wyze is another popular brand.

Lol no seriously, what’s your goal here? Self-hosting a server seems entirely unnecessary.

If you want to host an RSS server, FreshRSS is easy to set up if you know how to do Docker stuff. Then, you could connect it to a podcast app on your phone. But all that seems very complicated when you could just install AntennaPod (which is open source), subscribe to a podcast’s official RSS feed, and turn on notifications for that podcast. Adding an RSS server between your listening device and the original RSS server is unnecessary IMO, unless you have a use case that I’m not understanding.

Why do you need to self-host a dedicated server? Just put AntennaPod on your phone.

Love how the headline equates the shame of viewing porn with the shame of viewing anime

If it’s just you, and you’re willing to install it on all your devices, Tailscale is the best option IMO. If you need to share things with others, use CF Tunnels.

It’s not open source…but the source is open.

Have you used it? It’s like NewPipe except that it’s better in almost every way. The ONLY downside is that it’s just old-fashioned open source instead of FOSS.

Basically, you’re routing your traffic through their servers so you want to know if you can trust them. Anything that goes through a proxy server or VPN server, the owner of that server can see EVERYTHING you’re doing. The most popular VPN providers will submit to third-party audits so that we can be (relatively) certain that they don’t keep logs of what you download and hand them over to the authorities.

Generally, if it’s free, you don’t want it. You already know the rule: if it sounds good to be true, it usually is. You’re telling me that somebody is spending their own money to run a server? Servers are not cheap. AND they’re going to protect me when the police come knocking? All for free??? I smell bullshit.

It’s possible, but the fact that they’re also asking for donations makes me think that they’re not getting enough money from ads. Also, if this site gets popular and gains a reputation, most advertisers won’t touch piracy websites. So the only ads they’ll get are weird porn sites and male enhancement pills that don’t pay very much.

Also, I don’t want to have a theory on where the servers are, I want to KNOW where the servers are. If they’re not being transparent about that, then my honeypot sense is tingling.

Looks cool. But it seems like it’s just somebody else’s server acting as a proxy for you, right? So I’d want to know the same things about them that I’d ask of any proxy service. Where are their servers? Do they keep logs? What’s their privacy policy?

Regarding it being free, I see that they’re serving ads and asking for donations. So the service clearly costs money to run. I doubt it stays free forever, and I hope those servers aren’t US based. 😬
