Er? Android supports multiple VPNs at the same time on the same user profile? Since when exactly?

You can still manually download a torrent, open it in your client, and then open the file in VLC.

You can also automate 99% of it with the *arr stack and completely forget about it.

What is the issue? There is more choice now?

Shut your work devices off at the end of the work day.

Your work-specific WiFi network can also be shut off at the same time.

Devices go in a sleeve or drawer in your desk, which is usually in a separate room.

You can also close the door.

If you need more work and personal life separation than this, you might need a new job.

Er no?

Be hyperbolic if you want, but there are LOTS of apps on the Play Store that do not have internet access, let alone a dependency on Firebase.

I use Shopify app every day, multiple times a day to run my business and it has always been buggy and inconsistent for me on Android, and I don't expect this will make it any better, especially with more AI in the mix, but we shall see.

Who wants to bet there still won't be a dark mode?

Do you really need SSH exposed?

If not, use something like WireGuard (or Tailscale) and bind only to that interface.

You can also change the default port, your logs will quiet down dramatically.

Lastly, if you have a long enough passphrase with enough entropy/randomness, password authentication being enabled is probably fine, you can also set only a specific user allowed to SSH for additional hardening.

"fun" is kinda the last thing I want with my (small) business infra.

It should be rock solid, relatively inexpensive, and from a reliable company with some expected longevity. I want it to be boring, no surprises, never think about it because it Just Works (r).

If you don't want to run your own VPN, there's Tailscale or CloudFlare Tunnel, both widely known and provided by reputable companies.

It will drift, significantly, without being connected to a device to set the time.
