  • What about neither and tailscale (free) on all your devices? Or are you often phoning home on outside devices?

    I personally bought a domain name (namecheap) for my vps. Then I set up ddclient on my home pc to fetch my external IP every so often and update namecheap. But I didn’t feel it was secure enough. Tailscale is easier, and i feel like it adds a layer of security.


  • If you are still dual booting, btrfs has a very good windows driver. Btrfs is newer and only recently started becoming the default on a couple mainline OSes. Ext4 has been around forever and is assumed to be much more stable.

    Fwiw, I’ve been using btrfs for the last 18 months or so without any issue. I don’t use any of the tools. There’s no obvious or immediate performance difference like there was in the old days. We’re all on SSDs now and they’re fast no matter what.
