I second this, if it’s only you that needs access then Tailscale will be all that you need. You can use Tailscale funnel if you want it to be available to the wider web, but then you have to manage SSL certificates and it is slightly less secure.

I would caution against port forwarding and leaving your server open to the wider web.

Might not be exactly what you want but I sometimes use mosh for this reason, I can start a task in the mosh terminal and then minimize or sleep, or even hibernate the machine and I will be able to come back to the same session later. (It also continues running if the connection is lost, and will reconnect when able)

One nuance, NixOS is only beginner friendly when you use flakes

He’s effecting the change he’s been talking about for years, so yeah he’s going to make a video about it. I don’t believe he’s getting anything financial from this product at all.

I don’t think he’s sold out. He’s reviewing products just as he always has, this is just the first one he had a small hand in the development of.

There is an etiquette to not just copy and pasting from ChatGPT. The fact you couldn’t verify the code yourself is a bigger issue.

I understand you may have thought this may help, it really does not.

I agree, I do the same in NixOS with Generations

I have the Nothing Phone 1, running my fork of Mobile NixOS. I bought it because I wanted a bit of a challenge to get it running Linux and it’s relatively newer then other better supported Linux phones. I don’t recommend it for anyone who is new to Linux.

If you’re relatively new to Linux and want something that’s more compatible, I recommend looking at the OnePlus 6 or 6T. They have pretty good support for multiple different distros.

Yeah I wasn’t kidding about bleeding edge. It’s a double edged sword. You get more compatibility across a wide range of devices but it might now be 100% polished, yet.

To be fair, as most things in Linux, they are community developed. The community supported devices are supported by people who are taking their personal time to develop Linux to support these devices. You can view each individual device in the wiki to see how much support they have.

It’s all what you’re comfortable with, I still daily drive my iPhone as I need a very reliable device for my work. But I definitely rock my Linux phone when I can.

Take a look into PostMarketOS, they are the bleeding edge for Linux mobile development. You can search on their wiki if your phone is supported.

The other solutions listed might be more turn key but not close to mainline Linux. (Custom kernel, etc)

I’m with you, I’ve switched all my computers to Linux for similar reasons. I bought an android phone recently and put Linux on that, although still some things to iron out such as sound and microphone input but it’s working well otherwise. Looking forward to when I can ditch my iPhone.

It might not be what you’re looking for, but tailscale offers end points where you can use mulvad vpn in conjunction with your tailscale network, might be worth looking into! I use it and it works great.

Obligatory due to the sub we’re in. I don’t believe tailscale falls into the space of “self hosted”. You’d need to set up your own wireguard server for that.

Check out fastfetch!

For all who may not realize, neofetch has a modern replacement: fastfetch

Big nix fan here, I love being able to define my system from a couple configuration files and not scrounging around the file system for the right dot file
