   When you have a linux-only scenario - say on your laptop, and servers, which is my case - innernet's simplicity and fairly-good elegance is tough to beat. As soon as Windows/MacOS/Android/iOS clients want in on the fun,

   Here's what my serious error likely was: not putting double quotes around IPv6 addresses with netmask, as is seen in this example YAML snippet: allowed-ips: [0.0.0.0/0, "2001:fe:ad:de:ad:be:ef:1/24"] Note tha

   Make something wireguard-related. It's the boring sort of secure networking infrastructure that vast numbers businesses need. How about paid-for, closed-source innernet clients for Windows, Android, MacOS, iPadOS, iOS? Which install

    WinSCP - using the SFTP protocol, which the ssh server on the Pi provides - would be a better file transferring tool than the outdated/insecure "scp" command.

    Last time I checked, those wildcard LetsEncrypt certs take more work to get, like passing a DNS-based TXT record challenge. Then once you have the wildcard certs, they only last 3 months. Once obtained, they can manually be copied into the

    The author was capable of using the word "embrace", but wasn't clueful enough to meaningfully use the phrase "embrace and extend". So I can't accept his essay as "getting it". A better article would b
