Tailscale runs on Wiregaurd which is ridiculously fast. Also helps we’re located physically near each other on fiber from the same company so less network hops.

Nope! We use it for Jellyfin too which also works great 😸

Gaming with friends and family over Tailscale on my servers; it just works

I am also a developer and agree entirely.

Asking for advice, examples or the occasional boilerplate is at most how I use AI and certainly not integrated directly into my IDE.

Another vote for Rustdesk

I use it mostly for family tech support where MY PC is running Linux and THEY are on Windows though it works great in both directions

Yep, that’s exactly what is happening; I’ve seen the same and just kept reminding everyone not to click on ads. Took a while but they actually got it.

I run Pihole on physical Pi’s and once configured to my liking has been quite nice. I’ve even had family compliment that they miss the ad blocking when they leave the home :)

I haven’t purchased yet; this is the one I’m currently considering:

I’m in a similar situation currently hosting Pihole on my Pi’s and Jellyfin on a SFF refurbished PC that’s running some other project. I’ve decided to go with a NUC, most likely beelink, and intend to install Proxmox to then run container VMs for each of the various projects to more easily manage them.
