Dude, I can't wait to have IPv6 everywhere and have our own IP addresses for everyone.

Can users self host that and set up clients to use their own servers?

But we already have decentralized encypted chat, it's XMPP.

Is yours truly P2P? What about clients behind NAT? Does it use STUN/TURN servers?

DimStar sounds familiar… But I can't remember where I could hear about him.

I use Quassel hosted on my server.

Does OneTab work for you on mobile FF?

I'm sorry, where's the button to save all private tabs to collection?

On Android this only copies the URL of current tab, not of all tabs.

Oh, I have found pwnat before, but it's not available for windows, also most people say that it doesn't work anymore because most routers patched the behavior that made it work IIRC.

What's the easy way to know if two peers are directly connected without measuring ping time and guessing?

Thanks.

I do have wireguard on my server as well, I guess it's similar to what tailscale does?

Too bad my friends from Russia can't connect to me, it might be because we are doing something wrong, but most likely wiregueard is somehow (DPI?) blocked in Russia.

I can connect to my own wireguard, it routes all my traffic and I can access any blocked sites, as well as access other people via «local» IPs over wireguard. I think this uses NAT traversal and we exchange data directly over wireguard. But somehow some friens are not able to use that.

Do you know if Yggdrasil does something similar and if we exchange data directly when playing over Yggdrasil virtual IPv6 network?

It's funny that my device that is as powerful as a dozen of computers were ten years ago can't do a thing as simple as save a bunch of lines into a plaintext file and then read this plaintext file and open each line without a desktop.

Thanks for suggestion.

If you are good with all of this stuff, can you tell me if usijg bore relays traffic or creates some kind of direct (P2P?) connection between devices?

I have a device without public IP, AFAIK behind NAT, and a server. If I use bore to open a port through my server and host a game, and my friends connect to me via IP, will we have big ping (as in, do packets travel to the server first, then to me) or low ping (as in, do packets travel straight to me)?

In other words, is bore good to play with friends when games use a method if connection via IP when you have a server with public IP, but host a game on your local device without public IP?

We are currently using yggdrasil for this and connect via «local» IPv6.

Are you just posting a link, or an author?

Others told about snapdrop, sharedrop, localsend etc.

But depending on what devices you are talking about, you might do with just an http server.

I have a file manager on my (android) phone with a http server built in, and my laptop is connected to it via WiFi hotspot all the time. I just start a server on my phone and use a browser or any other download tool (curl, wget) to transfer files from my phone to my laptop.

If you have python installed, you can run an http server on any device you have (for example, a laptop) via python -m http.server and access your files from any other device on the same network by manually typing your local IP into a browser.

Probably it would be better to edit my comment, but I'll go with a reply to myself.

To all fans of RSS: there's this service called FeedBase that is essentially a RSS to NNTP gate. You add your RSS feed to that and it becomes a newsgroup on their server, and you can subscribe to it using any NNTP client. New articles appear as new posts in that newsgroup and you can post your own replies to them. So, you get RSS but with discussions or comments.

https://feedbase.org/

If you try this, let me know what RSS feeds you're reading, so we could read the articles together and have some discussion there!

P.S. This comment is not an ad. I genuinely love feedbase and use that myself.

Others have said already, but XMPP and RSS. Also, nobody mentioned NNTP yet.

I wish everything was accessible by NNTP and we had better NNTP clients. NNTP is like RSS but for forums (so, Lemmy, Reddit, or anything where you could reply to posts). Download for offline reading, read in your client, define your own formatting, sorting, filtering, your client, your rules.

If Lemmy was accessible via NNTP, I could just download all posts and comments I'm interested in and reply to them without any connection, and my replies would get synced with the server later when I connect to WiFi or something.

Is there a link to this talk (or interview, or whatever this is) but in a video format, or at least a text without all those «SEE ALSO» self ads?

I play dota 2, community can be toxic, but if you are not a snowflake or know how to use the mute button, its good.

I played this game way before dota 2, when it was a Warcraft 3 map, so I have been playing dota for about 18 years. Can confirm, it is addictive, and I believe it is one of the best competitive games out there.

Believe it or not, I had a similar question just today.

However, what I want is to add tasks to todo.txt and somehow see them in my calendar (as events or as a task list, my calendar app supports task lists as well as calendars). I was thinking of a way to turn my tasks from todo.txt to calendar events or something and I guess a script on a server (I have a server and use it to sync stuff like notes and files) could watch for changes, parse them and add servers to Google calendar.

Anyway, it's a slightly different question, and I can't answer your question.

Maybe there's a python library to work with Google keep notes, and you too could sync your todo.txt with your server (using syncthing) and watch file for changes, parse them and send them to Google keep using some API. I'm not sure if it's possible but you could try searching in that direction.

If you want to send something to a computer in school or a work PC or something without admin rights.

snapdrop / sharedrop work in browser, without any installation, and that's the point. As much as I hate web apps, sometimes they are your only option.

I agree that localsend is great when you need to exchange files between your devices often, but when you quickly need to send a file to someone's PC without admin rights, snapdrop and sharedrop are a faster way to achieve that.
