  • Interestingly (I just found this out) Android permits 1 VPN connection per user profile.

    So I run a VPN in my regular profile, and found my work profile wasn’t using it. So I installed Tailscale there, and it works only in the work profile, while my regular VPN only works in my main profile.

    If always assumed VPN config was a system-wide thing.













  • Professional self-hosting was the way it was done until SaaS took off over the last 20 years - we just never called it that, because it was the only way to do things at the time.

    Now we say things like Cloud or On-Premise. And as another commenter proposed, call it “Private Cloud” to sound fancy (wel, it’s not the same thing, but it sure sounds good!).

    To my thinking, self-hosting means consumer-level hosting of services for a person, family, friends, generally at home, with VPS as an alternative server host.
