Huh, have never heard of Tailscale before. Thanks for this suggestion, I’ll give it a looksee.
Comment on Good cloud alternatives for Google Docs?

I wonder if accessing your own computer is considered hosting. Ultimately network traffic is traffic.
A tool called Tailscale will allow you to access other devices on the same virtual network from anywhere, without anyone else having access.
If you install it on each device, they can share the same network, even whilst away from your own home.
If you have a computer that provides “cloud” like services, like NextCloud for example, then it too can be part of the same network.
Outcome: You’re self-hosting without “hosting”.

Yes tailscale is amazing, give it a shot. What is your up/down speed?

Typically not very great, being on apartment Wifi and all that. According to Ookla like 2 minutes ago it’s fairly decent but I doubt this is the average. Hm. Probably need to run repeated tests or set something up to record speed tests every so often and then log the data to get a good idea of what the average actually is.

Did you try it out?

I looked at the webpage and tried reading the instructions but got incredibly lost. Told myself I’ll put it for later but forgot about it, thanks for reminding me.
