Funnily enough I had the same wish some time ago, so nowadays I do most of my computing in "fatcity": https://fatcity.it https://fatcity.it

> most of my computing What does this involve? Are you tunneling a browser through ssh? Are you doing development work? Also, the status page is a rather beautiful bit of text. Did you do that yourself?

  The Raspberry PI is attached at my home router (1Gb fiber connectivity), then I can access it like a local server (so even by SSH) from everywhere with Tailscale[0]. The rest of the world is proxied by a Cloudflare Tunnel[1]. Yes, remote dev work is done mostly with Visual Studio Code Remote SSH[2] (but I wish something similar would exists for Sublime Text).

[2]: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh Edit: Yes, I hacked together the status page, something similar welcomes me when I ssh into the machine. Edit 2: Some benchmark here: https://pibenchmarks.com/benchmark/62022 https://pibenchmarks.com/benchmark/62022

>> little Raspberry Pi 4 server that I run from my home ISP, for no reason other than to have some fun This. I run mine on RPi 3B+ with a 4 running the database. I reverse proxy to my site via a cloud VPS instance for $4 a month. I switched to the cloud after years on NO-IP when 1) I noticed my IP never changed and 2) my home IP address was public via a look up of my domain name. On another 3B+ I have a VPN so I can SSH in . Some day I will get around doing a roll-your-own-ngrok [0] so I don't have to open any ports but have yet to do it. I have done it for a project I was working on and I needed to make the local dev server accessible to a 3rd party. Pretty slick and saves a bunch of time and hassle from having to put the code on the server. (As an aside: Does anyone else dislike the term "grok"? For whatever reason it annoys the hell out of me.) I really have nothing important on there and go months or years without doing anything to it then get a burst of creativity or what not and update the site or just tinker with it.
