Invidious is developed really poorly. The documentation even recommends restarting the service hourly for what I assume has to do with memory leakage (they don’t actually mention the reason, but memory leaks are significant either way). I’d stay away from that project.

I’m just not a fan of mesh VPN solutions that I have no direct control over (i.e. cloud based), and self-hosting them on my own means I have the responsibility of properly securing and hardening the server on which it runs, which I’m not a fan of either haha.

But it might be the best solution, we’ll see. If that’s the case though I’ll probably go for Tailscale despite the fact that I prefer the open source nature of Netbird, and that’s because Tailscale is just more reliable and mature in my experience. It feels like Netbird might be pushing too many new features (like the reverse proxy) before their core features are finished.

I noped the fuck out of that course. I’m sure it’s super interesting and rewarding, but I just couldn’t take it mentally at the time.

I’m warming up to the idea of using some sort of RDP software. I saw that Anydesk is proprietary, do you have any experience with Rustdesk? I’ll do some research.

Thank you (and everyone else who has responded)!

Sorry.

Where are you installing it for her, PC or router?

Her client will be on her laptop.

What OS is she running?

Windows.

What other remote tools do you have available?

More or less none. Any tools I’d need would have to be set up remotely on her device.

Frankly I’d just use Tailscale.

Yeah, I’m starting to lean towards Tailscale or Netbird.

Thanks.

Apple is pretty decent actually. If I couldn’t use GrapheneOS, I’d go for iOS.

Something to keep in mind is that Kagi is sponsoring Russia’s war against Ukraine through their business with Yandex.

that push GOS into unsavoury practices.

Can you elaborate on this?

Someone on Reddit made an interesting comment relevant to this discussion:

Graphene uses Play services, albeit sandboxed. I don’t think MicroG is recommended by them. But maybe I misunderstood your comment.

I also came in here to choose the Culture, although I’d be a human. Drug glands FTW.

What sort of attestation, if any, is required? Play Integrity? If so, alternative operating systems like GrapheneOS won’t work. It’s been a problem with a few implementations so far:

I actually used pass many years ago and I quite enjoyed it, except for the fact that the entry names are presented in clear text. You’d also have to manage your GPG secret which I’m not a fan of (in fact, my password manager is how I usually manage GPG and SSH keys in the first place). On the other hand, I guess you should keep a key file on each device on top of a passphrase even if you use a KeePass database, so I guess that point is moot. There are also no good way to include attachments. At that point Vaultwarden feels more convenient, but the more I’m thinking about it, the more I’m warming up to the idea. We’ll see, maybe I’ll give it a shot again.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Edit: I did some quick research and I found this video:

It brings up some pretty important security concern that still seem to be relevant.
