Just another voice yelling in the void.

I’ve probably protested for your rights. I’m definitely on at least one list.

I believe firmly that everyone should have a fair shake and as much freedom as they can be afforded - so long as it does not encroach on the freedoms of others.

Occasionally a wordy cunt who will type a book when a sentence or two will suffice.

  • Our software is basically a web app that makes it easier to install and manage supported third-party apps. Wireguard (currently) is only used for remote access, if you don’t need that you don’t have to turn it on.

    So my point I was driving at - especially with such a diverse offering of wireguard services which do not charge for (effectively) VPN access to your own infrastructure - I was more interested in why your service would be looking to pay gate it as a “premium” feature.

    This would be different if we were talking you hosting all these services on your infrastructure but considering the marketing to homelab - I find it to be an unusual choice… And was curious as to the reason for the decision.

    For security, everything runs in an isolated sandbox using docker and that also answers your other question.

    Right. Docker does sandboxing. That’s a core feature it provides - I’m just trying to ascertain what precisely your company is actually offering outside of a ui wrapper on these established services.

    I mentioned earlier that your branding seems to emphasize security - but all I’m seeing is mention of existing security features inherent in the software being wrapped. Does your team do additional tuning for security? Do they have experience in infrastructure security, hardening systems, or the like? To be clear I just want to better understand the branding and what is being offered.

    the same goes for backups, they can be geo-redundant if you use our service, but these are optional feature.

    Alright so this is a feature that a homelab user can actually use - backups. Could you expand on how you will be managing this feature / plan to implement it once it is offered?


  • Alright so I’ll ask a hardball question or two. What precisely are you offering that isn’t just repackaged install scripts and a wireguard wrapper?

    What is your / your teams background in software security? The implication of the name and your “branding” are selling a lot - what outside of docker and wireguard are you bringing to the table. On that note: why docker?

    Further - you are paywalling remote access… When your platform is utilizing wireguard.

    Netbird (one of many examples) doesn’t even do that… What’s the reasoning?

    I have more but let’s start there.








  • You made a post about a subject you were concerned with not brought up in a video you watched - and this part is important - on a thread discussing the video getting improperly removed.

    Now perhaps you didn’t read the title completely and became confused… but assuming you didn’t: please tell me how your urgent missive is on topic.

    My original response at least provided you the courtesy of a response. You didn’t care for it - but that is perfectly fine. Your type rarely enjoy those sort of observations.

    If you are looking to derail things further after losing your original position I’d suggest you stop. This behavior is well documented as a standard method of trolling and isn’t even novel.


  • instead of

    Your topic. Your concern. I covered this. You want to drive the topic? Make your own content. I understand there’s even a transformative method of reviewing content and talking about it. By all means go do that. Your fanatical pursuit of this accomplishes what? Go on - let us all know your manifesto. Detail to us how this opinion of yours, on a tiny thread, on an even smaller corner of the Internet, is making a difference at all in the topic you are whinging about.

    You are a poser looking to self congratulate or a low effort troll. You want to make a difference? Go do it. This isn’t it - nor is it a viable path to a solution.


  • … opposed to the journalist speaking about a topic they set out to cover without derailing things … and still producing in excess of 3 hours of distilled content. You are exactly what is wrong with the current social media. There are thousands of topics speaking directly about the subject you are concerned with. Go partake in those. You aren’t shedding light on something - you are virtue signalling. You aren’t being a good steward - you are being a disruptive cunt.




  • Agree to disagree, I suppose. The OP could use a colon and perhaps a small edit for clarity. That’s a far cry from nonsensical ramblings. But I cannot speak for your ability to digest a post made quickly - so if that’s how it was received: I imagine the explanation should have been sufficient. Your response suggests otherwise. My point was made, and clarified, which to me is sufficient. If you can’t work though it - that’s unfortunate but acceptable.


  • I can break it down:

    Why is this happening to us (the consumer)?

    Asked by the consumer who has broken records buying the switch 2 with the batshit insane clause: “We can brick your console for any reason and are denying your rights to how and where you can sell your purchased games.”

    That’d be the gimpsuit.

    Shall I detail the number of times nintendont has overstepped it’s legal rights and trampled on those of developers, consumers, and frequently their own employees?

    Nintendo’s lawyers know no boundaries. They frequently get apologists making excuses for them while they force their will on whomever they please. What they need is a solid kick in the teeth and to be told to fuck right off.

    Why are they jacking prices up? Why are they inserting assinine clauses in user agreements?

    Because people just love the abuse apparently. That’s certainly what the market appears to be saying: “Yes daddy N. punish me harder.”

    I believe that summarizes the intent of my original statement sufficiently.

    I didn’t think it required that much thought… but apparently I was mistaken.
