Fuck Trump, Elon, the other oligarchs, and all of the short-sighted moronic voters and non-voters who put them back in power.
This may not be what America wants, but this is what Americans deserve for being so fucking stupid.

Yeah it's wireguard under the hood iirc, so you probably could put in effort in order to achieve roughly what tailscale does, if you have the knowledge and time involved in doing that. I don't think there's any secret sauce that would be impossible to someone to DIY.
I don't blame people for being skeptical, especially those of us in the Linux, FOSS, and self-hosted world. I was skeptical too, because part of the reason I wanted to self-host was to move away from a dependency on companies, and I'm weary of the mere possibility of tailscale's eventual capitalist enshittification. But after trying it, I have to admit that it's been a game changer for me.
For me personally, tailscale is just an easy out-of-the-box solution that works well for what I want it to do (give me encrypted access to my server from anywhere in the world). I'm not so good at networking that I could get anywhere near the level of convenience that tailscale affords me, and I have too many other projects that I want to do before reinventing tailscale for myself. So instead I have a small free tailnet with all of my devices (and a couple other users' devices), and it has totally changed my relationship with self-hosting and my server.
In my view, It's a pretty good deal, for now at least.
Do you actually want to expose the things to "the internet", or do you just want yourself (and an approved set of other users) to be able to access them from outside of your network?
If it's the former, you're going to want to learn about DNS, NAT, exposing ports, firewall settings, and network monitoring.
But if it's the latter, then I recommend checking out tailscale because that gives you and some friends LAN-like access with a great internal DNS and it works really well.

Holy fuck no thank you
Have fun with it! This is how it starts. :)
But seriously, whether you stick with it in the long run or not, toying with Linux from time to time is a great experience for any computer nerd and now is really a great time to do it.
Feel free to ask questions!
Also save yourself some hassle by using the right terms when you search for things, for example, searching for "How to X in Linux Mint" or "How to Y in Cinnamon Desktop". A lot of people do searches for "Linux" and end up frustrated when the bulk of the results are terminal commands, but familiarizing yourself with the different pieces that make up your system is I think a big part of learning "Linux".
Did I offend you or something? Does your dad work for Nintendo? 🙄
It's a figure of speech. But let me really spell it out for you and any other fucking slowpokes in the back of the class...
I'm not impressed with the hardware or the software that they showed today. They should show more than 8 seconds of a game that looks marginally better than Mario Kart 8 (a game I bought and enjoyed 11 years ago on the Wii U) if they want to impress me and sell me on a piece of hardware that is incrementally better than the Switch they sold me 8 year ago. Hopefully they have something that will impress me when they do another presentation in April, but if not that's cool who gives a fuck man.
They seem to be implying that you can turn the joycons on their side to use them kind of like a mouse... I guess?
At least that's what the rumors and chatter have been saying. How practical that is... I dunno.
Man, I'm the polar opposite. To each their own. :) I spend the bulk of my time coding, reviewing patches, responding bug reports and attending rote meetings, when I'd much rather be doing something creative with my time. I'm not that interesting in being in a band these days, mainly because I like to do my own thing too much and so does everyone else I know that plays music, haha. That's forgetting the fact that there's never been much money in it for me, so the idea of turning it into a career has never seemed tangible.
And it's not that I dislike tech or computers (I'm on Linux, I genuinely like developing software when it's something I care about, and I have a home server setup that I use just about every day.), it's just that I get a lot more satisfaction out of playing music or making art. Technology to me is a means to an end; if I couldn't put songs together, make paintings or animations, program indie games, play games, build a media library, etc., I don't think I'd really care about computers at all.
Basically when it comes to tech stuff, I don't care for the process as much as I care about the results. With creative endeavors it's the opposite, I really love the process and I'd rather spend my time doing that than just about anything else.
(Now if only I could commit to finishing some more of my musical ideas... lol)
Maybe this is what the average normie wants, but this feels like Nintendo's least innovative console yet.
Well, it's a bigger, better Switch alright...
A little bit underwhelming hardware-wise. ~~Extra joycon L/R don't seem like they'll factor in much in most singleplayer docked or handheld settings.~~ (I guess those aren't new buttons.. .) The mouse thing (if that's what they're showing) is somewhat interesting and helps to keep touch controls relevant when docked. Top USB port, sure. Backwards compatibility is great news. Screen is...?
As always with Nintendo I think it comes down to the games. Mario Kart 9 hasn't blown me away just yet, but we've barely seen anything at all so...
To be continued in April, i guess.
