I've used pretty much this type of setup:

If you want something not NixOS-related, smolmachines.com (I haven't tried this yet) gets mentioned here a lot.

Less distractions, yes, but mainly it's the size and e-ink display.

> Oddly enough, Google’s LLM is the only one that has been answering my questions well on a research project these last weeks.

Google Search declined in quality when results started containing more noise (more ads, SEO spam) that required sifting through. Gemini isn't displaying all that garbage.. yet.

Given the context, they're probably referring to epubs. Files could contain just generic malicious javascript or malware that attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in specific ereaders.

TBH that part of your landing page exhibits some confusing UX. Perhaps it's just me but when I see a UI image with a play button I assume that clicking it is going to play a video, not redirect me to a login page.

Got a link or more info regarding the theme?

> and price seems to have gone down

They sent an email a couple months ago stating prices were increasing as of Mar 27. The family plan went from $59.88 USD per year to $71.88 But it's still worth it IMO.

Maybe Lemmy without federation?

Thanks for the quick fix :) Nice to see more Discord alternatives these days.

A few other landing page issues if you feel like addressing them:

- Attempting to navigate with the Tab key results in tab order following nav elements once, where focus indicators aren't visible, and then the same elements get iterated over again but this time focus indicators are visible.

- Tab order doesn't include screenshots and jumps to the FAQ

- Clicking a thumbnail shows the larger image but without any elements for closing the overlay

- Pressing Esc doesn't close the overlay

- No skip links on any of the pages

Please consider adding screenshots of the UI that provide an idea of what the experience will be like without having to log in using Bluesky or other credentials.

Thanks for clarifying :) I'll try it out this weekend.

This would be perfect with TLS. The docs don't make this clear...

> tailscale serve --service=svc:web-server --https=443 127.0.0.1:8080

> http://web-server.<tailnet-name>.ts.net:443/ > |-- proxy http://127.0.0.1:8080

> When you use the tailscale serve command with the HTTPS protocol, Tailscale automatically provisions a TLS certificate for your unique tailnet DNS name.

So is the certificate not valid? The 'Limitations' section doesn't mention anything about TLS either:

Unfortunately communities tend to be endangered species these days. Perhaps this issue and other seismic societal shifts will change that.
