not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.

Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, drones, but not my own. Because that sucks.

  • The way I do it for a family member with Tailscale is them having a couple of boxes down there (n100 with their Jellyfin server, and a RPI4 with a TVHServer) with my Tailnet signed in, and those boxes running both a “subnet router” and an "exit node"that both me and said fam member can use.

    This means she has permissions to use the exit node wherever like I do to my own local LAN, to connect to her LAN and access things locally since you can assign them via the ACL’s / device perms.

    I know reading docs can suck sometimes but honest to god the ones that Tailscale put up are pretty awesome.

    Along with all the YT videos about it I didn’t even have to go nagging on forums to get it to work, and that’s a general first for me.





  • Agreed, and kinda confused why askandroid would need locking because of a FDroid community 🤔

    The thing that gets me is I came across forums for Android just before Digg shit the bed, and migrated to /r/Android where things were all cozy with ~1K-25K members.

    But as always the Help Vampires took hold, and it wasn’t until the mods realised that peeps submitting screenshots of their battery stats / problems / or some new feature that is limited to an OEM or whatever, they had to then have a clear set of rules and sister communities such as /r/AndroidQuestions / AndroidApps.

    Even r/acj (RIP 😖).

    I worry even if the numbers are small now, if we consolidate things into a bucket we’re likely to end up in the same situation again having to redirect the noise so to speak and going round in circles reopening it 🤷‍♀️


  • but IDK if I’m great at it.

    Simples is best, hands down. Maybe some tooltips wouldn’t go amiss on your demo page?

    But as someone else pointed out, a link to the GitHub either in the header or footer of your demo page would be ace too. It was the first thing I looked for this morning seeing your posts and had to come back to the comments to find it 🙈

    Keep up the great work, and I shared between our nerd group and they have eyeballs on it. Seems a no brainer for teams collaborating online where we’ve got used of shitty Slack 🤢 Dicksword whatever.

    ninjaedit: if you want some help Android app wise, give us a ping. I have a few bored devs lurking looking for app ideas ;)







  • Yeah me too, photos and videos I’ve recorded are the only things I’m bothered about. Backing up off-site all my arrrrr booty is redundant since I’ve shared it to a 2.1 ratio already and hopefully can download it again from people with larger storage than my family member has.

    It’s how I handle backing up those photos / videos thou. I bought them a 512GB card and shoved that in a GLi AP they have down there which I sync my DCIM folder to (app was removed from Play Store since it didn’t need updating but Googles stupid policies meant it went RIP…), and I also backup that to the old Synology NAS I handed down to them. I suppose I could use Syncthing but I like that old app since the adage if it’s not broke don’t fix it applies.

    Along with them having Tailscale on a Pi4 (on a UPS and is their/my backup TVHeadend server) and their little N100 media box I don’t even bother them with my meager photo collection and works good.
