They're deadly serious. Every Linux is the wrong Linux.

BSD is the only way.

WSL and Android, then?

"Thank you for doing the work. It's done now, so I don't need it any more, so I won't be paying you. Also you can't sue me because you read my magazine once back in the 80s and it's in the fine print, but here's a t-shirt with our logo across the front and back, and a commendation on your CV. It says, 'good worker, no complaints.' That's exec talk for, 'you can screw this guy over without worrying, so go ahead and hire him.'"

"I'm not paying you today. We got lots of profits and I don't feel like wasting it on employees."

I suppose, in fairness, climbing the top part is a bit harder than climbing the bottom part.

Though, if you think about it, quite a lot quicker.

I have heard the (Nepali-speaking) Nepalis didn't even have a name for it at that point, and I have a feeling Qomolungma wasn't known to the Brits, because the mountain was surveyed from far away at that point.

Incidentally, "Tibetans and Nepalis on either side of the mountain"- it's Tibetans on both sides. On the Nepali side are the Tibetan group known as Sherpa, whence we get the term Sherpa for a Nepali/Tibetan mountain guide. Further south than the Sherpa people are 'Nepali' people by ethnicity. (And of course properly there's a lot more than two ethnic groups in a cross section of Nepal!)

But what is the base?

Thing is, that's a more complicated question than it sounds.

They pass TCP over UDP.

I took a quick look at the GitHub repo - selfhosted Netbird looks harder and more resource hungry, not easier! At least compared to Nebula.

[-] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Wow, self-hosting Netbird is a lot more involved than Nebula, and needing a lot more resources!

Isn't that the same with all of them? Using UDP so they can tunnel between machines that are both behind NAT?

I've been playing around with self hosting for file sharing, backups, and a handful of other ideas I might one day get round to. I like the idea of a mesh VPN and being able to, for example, connect a travelling laptop to a 'host' laptop nearby, though my only public ip is a VPS in another country.

Of all the options I found, I liked the look of Nebula most. Fiddly in some places, but it's working nicely for me, and I appreciate some of the simplicity of design.

I'm wondering if people here have much experience of it, though? My biggest concern is over its future. With,

  1. The Defined Networking site focusing on making money off it, and
  2. The Android app doesn't allow full configuration (including the firewall, so I can't host a website from a phone) but - I heard - does if you use Defined Networking's paid service for configuration,

makes me worry they might be essentially trying to deprecate viable FOSS Nebula in favour of a paid or controlled service.

Any thoughts? Insight?

I finally watched Frozen 2 on the plane a few days ago. Did somebody pay Disney to shill for homeopathy?
