Oh yeah I love it!

I don't know why but it's just way more intuitive this way for me at least, thanks!

This is pretty cool. I'm personally not into TUI's for everything, but I totally get their appeal.

Does anyone know of a rss reader that presents multiple feeds in columns like tweetdeck by chance? I dream of a dashboard of rss feeds.

Is there any updates on being able to use the IOS app for self hosted tailscale? Also what is the status of fully self hosted tailscale in general?

I just don't trust my VPN to be managed by a 3rd party like this. I'm willing to pay money even (though I don't have much) for hobby use - but I don't like the possibility of exposing network devices like this. To be honest I'm a bit surprised seemingly everyone else is.

do you have any links on how to do it/what models should we look to get for doing this?

not op but -

I do not think crypto itself is a ponzi - I think long term it has uses, but not this stupid "get rich quick" bs.

But I was laughed at for saying "don't buy crypto to make money". NFTs can genuinely be useful - but if you're using them with the goal of making money then you're using them wrong. This stupid art stuff and other general stupid "get rich schemes" have obfuscated it's actual usefulness, leaving it overvalued as all heck, and everyone scammed.

The very volatile price caused by this stupid "get rich quick" hype makes it even more difficult to actually use it.

The bad outcome I was warning about was the 80%+ drop. Even advising people to keep coins in their own wallet is commonly dismissed with "yeah but [exchange] does x differently and is too big to fail".

It's not that many of us long-time crypto users want people to suffer, it's the jaded "I told you so" moment.

Many of us have seen many "too big to fail" exchanges fall, have seen 2+ other "crypto bubbles" drop the price by 80%+.

When we told everyone "don't keep your money on an exchange" and "we've seen seen these 'too the moon' skyrocketing prices before - be prepared for the eventual crash" - they laughed and confidently said it was different this time, that we were just jealous, didn't understand defi/web3 etc.

I seriously do not enjoy seeing people suffer, I tried to warn people to prevent them from losing huge amounts of money. But when your warnings were laughed off - it's hard and there's some mixed emotions, and many of us are a bit jaded.

I do think crypto has a legitimate use, but this "buy crypto because you'll get rich" mentality just creates these detrimental hype cycles.

Simply being public doesn't mean it's in the public domain - this applies to movies, art, code, etc.

One example of restrictive but public licenses include requiring others to share their source code if it's derived from yours, allowing individuals to use a product but not allowing business to use it (businesses can use it under a different - likely paid for license), or requiring attribution or acknowledgement that they used your code.

There is an argument for fair use if it counts as a substantial derivative, which is a different discussion from why people make it publicly viewable without making it flat out public domain.

Darn that rules it out for my use. Best of luck though, it looks really cool!

I couldn't find a mention of it - but is there any plans or ability to self-host? I'm personally not a fan of keeping everything in the cloud. Also are there export options in the event someone wanted to leave the platform?
