This was the single funniest thing I’ve read all week. Thank you

At my place of work I sometimes come across tickets for users in the company asking for access to certain paid AI tools, with excuses like: “Access to chatGPT to more effectively send emails to clients” and

“Need AI image generation for blog update” even though we have an ENTIRE fucking art department.

It makes me laugh but it also makes me sad. I mark them as low priority and move on to other shit.

It’s the same as 10+4

I’d say you’re good. I trust NPM’s SSL forwarding so I’d say spin up Peertube and put NPM in front of it to manage your certs and such, and as long as both are up to date it’ll be fine.

Realistically though, you could still use a VPN and have it be pretty easy for your family members IF you have access to their router console and IF said router supports network wide wireguard or openVPN connections. Having both networks tied in to eachother that way makes it so that nobody ever has to use a VPN client to connect, but still only devices from their network (or yours) will be able to connect.

I agree that’s an important aspect of open source, but for me personally it’s more about being able to audit what is running on my machine. the fact that they show you the code lets me see and confirm for myself that they aren’t doing anything shady like spying. Though it might not be good enough for some people it definitely is for me.

It’s a level of transparency you won’t ever get from truly “proprietary” software.
