This reads a little like a LinkedIn post.

This in my experience is the hallmark of a vibe coded project. Individual pieces of code can be perfectly fine, but when you zoom out into an overall structure things get weird. Design patterns changing, same/similar problems solved in different, sometimes conflicting ways.

Been working on a project like that at work. Initially I enjoyed the change of pace, but as I realised that there’s no coherence at all in the project structure my joy turned into frustration.

To me, the most frustrating thing is that you can’t ask someone why something is done in a particular way, because no decision was ever made because no one was there to make a decision. Things just happened.

That’s very neat! It doesn’t really work for my Ente use-case, but definitely good to know!

It wasn’t rsync that started breaking because of some Claude changes, right?

I use Ente, but it’s purely because I want my images backed up in the cloud, but I don’t want the server provider to be able to mess around with them. Hence the e2ee being important to me.

I love Ente, I think it’s a great project, but for self-hosting, immich seems like the best choice to me.

Yeah. Zero trust VPN, akin to tailscale or cloudflare tunnels.

Is it like a TURN server that provides p2p connection or do they proxy it?

I don’t mean that as a “I can do it so obviously everyone else can” I mean it more as a “what purpose does plex even serve in this regard?”

Like what do you mean plex provides bandwidth? It’s hosted locally, no? From your network and your server? They provide software but surely plex as a company doesn’t host your media?

I use NetBird and have zero issues.

specially if they actually provide the bandwidth to let you access your media from outside home.

Why would Plex need to do that? I can access my Jellyfin and outside of my home just fine without someone else acting as a middle man.

This is not AI bullshit?

Per their own description

MCP is an open protocol that enables AI models to securely interact with local and remote resources through standardized server implementations. This list focuses on production-ready and experimental MCP servers that extend AI capabilities through file access, database connections, API integrations, and other contextual services.

It’s ironic that they’d complain that their PRs are just auto-generated slop when they’re collating tools for that exact purpose. They made that bed, so now they should lie in it.

I thought it was something related to Minecraft, but it’s a slop enabler so honestly, poetic justice. If someone who peddles slop is upset about receiving slop, I’m happy.

Never used Pangolin, so I’ve no idea. Sorry.

Netbird is a European company headquartered in Berlin. It’s fully FOSS and you can self-host the entire stack, unlike Tailscale which relies on a third party implementation.

There’s a script on their github that makes setup super easy.

That said, I’ve no idea where their servers are, if you opt to use their servers instead of hosting your own.

Edit: oh yeah, they also have a YouTube channel with updates and guides.
