  • AGPL works for me. Good to know.

    I just avoid using “source available” and software that has artificially paywalled features, the most common paywalled feature is OIDC because most devs seem to think that it’s a business only feature.

    I pay for Home Assist Cloud, because I want to support them, every feature is available if I wanted to self host it. I freaking love them.

    The only exception being Bitwarden, although they have paywalled features in their selfhosted builds I don’t know of a better-for-me alternative. I could self-host Vaultwarden, but I pay for their subscription just because I want to support them.

    My point is, if it’s justified, I’ll pay. Otherwise, I’ll keep using standalone RSS apps on my devices and just backup my OPML every once in a while.




  • By supporting WebDav your app will instantly gain the possibility to sync with every OS and a gazillion apps. It is not the best protocol, but it’s everywhere and it’s very good when implemented well. For example, CopyParty’s WebDav implementation is blazing fast.

    Afterwards, you could enhance the experience by supporting websockets so that contributors can build clients specific to your project. This will take much more time to reach the user with a usable sync app, but can potentially end up in a superior experience.

    STUN/TURN is literally designed to bypass network boundaries. Its necessity comes from the evil of NAT and allowing RFC1918 IP addresses behind firewalls to poke holes so that direct P2P connections can be established for VOIP.
    
    By virtue of being technology designed to step around boundaries, you should be weary of controls around this. STUN can be used to relay from the external STUN record to other servers within the same broadcast domain. We’ll add some controls here to limit this, but it would behoove you to place this server in an isolated DMZ without connectivity to other, potentially privileged, internal hosts. Never forget network segmentation.```
    
    
    
    Would a VLAN be enough?
