if the cameras don’t load, open Tailscale and make sure it’s connected
I've been using Tailscale for a few months now and this is my only complaint. On Android and macOS, the Tailscale client gets randomly killed. So it's an extra thing you have to manage.
It's almost annoying enough to make me want to host my services on the actual internet....... almost... but not yet.
One time, I was at a concert at a small-ish venue. I went to see a popular-ish band that I like, place was packed. The band started like 30-45 minutes late. When they finally got on stage, I happened to yell out during a brief pause, "Finally! We've been waiting forever!"
No one said anything and the show kept moving—but immediately after I yelled that the girl in front of me turned around and gave me a huge scowling look, like she was super embarrassed for me, like I had just done something really awful.
The American dream is an all time amazing piece of propaganda that has left every American imagining that one day, through hard work, they will become the oppressor
Wow, yeah. Well put. This is why they only care about "winning".
unless you regularly haul things, you don’t need a truck of any size. Unless you regularly go off-road or are transporting 5+ people and a dog or more, you don’t need an SUV. You can rent one of those for the rare times you need it!
Maybe... but why not go further?
Unless you regularly transport more than 1 person, you don't need a car. You can rent one of those for the rare times you need it!
One reason I can think of for including it is that it may make it easier for the consumer to check the status code if it's in the JSON. Depending on how many layers of abstraction you have, your app may not have access to the raw HTTP response.
Although, yeah you lose the single source of truth though.
One thing I'm doing differently in Arch this time is I'm trying out installing as many things as possible as flatpaks. I've successfully ignored them until now. Surprisingly, a lot of my apps are already packaged as flatpaks.
The other thing I'm borrowing is distrobox+podman. I didn't know about that before. This seems useful for dev environments.
flatpaks + distrobox seem to be at least 50% of VanillaOS. So I'm borrowing those and then I get to keep the simple, mutable OS with Arch.
That being said, I've never had a problem with pacman breaking my system, so I don't see major value in doing this... other than... it's helping me procrastinate! I should be doing real work right now. 😄
Hi, it isn't possible to install Tailscale inside the VSO container since it needs to interface with the host, for this case, I would suggest using a custom image following this template and rebase to it using ABRoot -> https://github.com/Vanilla-OS/custom-image.
I'm like 12 hours in. It's not going too well right now... the biggest con is that there is basically no documentation for Orchrid...
My use case: I have Obsidian notes synced with Syncthing to a server only accessible via Tailscale. I was able to get Syncthing working by installing Syncthing GTK from Flathub (a workaround, I couldn't figure out how to install Syncthing the normal way). But I'm still out of luck because I can't reach the server.
The only way to install Tailscale is via a custom image it seems. :(
The other thing I haven't figured out is if it's possible to use wl-copy to copy text from a terminal. The terminal app basically opens into a container. It seems like wl-copy can't break out of the container and affect the host clipboard.
The container/isolation stuff seems kewl in theory, but so far I'm finding it pretty annoying.
I'm experimenting with this because I was wondering if VanillaOS would be a good fit for my parents, which actually, it might be. They have very basic needs. All their apps are on Flathub. But for me... I think I may just go back to Arch.

I suspect that it goes down and stays down whenever there is an app update, but I haven't confirmed it yet.
Does the plain wireguard app stay up during updates?
