They have an install script that makes this much easier. https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale

I summed up the steps:

Create an account at https://login.tailscale.com/start

Open Konsole and copy-paste the following commands, then hit enter to run them:

git clone https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale.git; cd deck-tailscale

sudo bash tailscale.sh

source /etc/profile.d/tailscale.sh

sudo tailscale up --qr --operator=deck --ssh This will give you a QR code, that you need to scan with your phone. You will have to log in to Tailscale to add the Steam Deck to your Tailscale network.

Try running sudo tailscale update

If this works, i.e. if you don’t get any error messages, run sudo tailscale set --auto-update

If you use Decky Loader, I recommend installing the Tailscale Control plugin, which lets you control Tailscale from the Steam menu. You can also use KTailctl to control it from desktop mode.

Nothing about the program itself is subscription based. All of the normal features of an email client (that you would also find in Thunderbird) are available for free. You only need to pay if you want to use their services like Send later, read receipts or link tracking, because these requires backend servers and actually costs the money.

Corporations steal from us all the time, and they don’t even let us buy their content, they only sell limited access that can be revoked at any time (see https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/9531016 or https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/12904663). Under these circumstances, there are no ethical issues with piracy.

Thunderbird is the best IMO. Mailspring is also pretty good.

Tailscale might be the easiest and best solution for this. It’s like Hamachi, but more modern and much better. They even have a guide on how to set it up on the Steam Deck: https://tailscale.com/blog/steam-deck

Seems like using a VPN is basically inevitable now

DoH, DoT, DoQ, DNSCrypt, or just use a VPN

May I ask which tablet you use and why? Do you use an external keyboard? I find your setup really interesting, and would love to know the reasons behind it

Great! Fuck the chromium monopoly

Sounds like you need to try a tiling window manager. I find floating windows annoying as fuck, and they make you like super slow and unproductive by allowing windows to overlap or go off the screen. A tiler solves all of these problems, there are many fantastic options on GlazeWM, komorebi, FancyWM or the built-in tiling functionality of Seelen-UI on Windows.

You ssh into your phone? Or you use Termux on your phone to ssh into another machine?

Tell me more about NZB360 and HortusFox, I’ve never heard of these before.

That unfortunately appears to be the best way to exit. Please tell me if you know a better method.

100% agreed

Which one do you use?

For any Linux users, ANGRYsearch and Fsearch are pretty good alternatives to Everything, fd is great for the command line

Yes, I know, draw.io theoretically isn’t entirely open source, but the source code is available and it can be self-hosted. Honestly, that’s good enough for me, I think I can make an exception for this one. But generally I care a lot about strictly using FOSS too. It can also be integrated with Nextcloud: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/drawio

I wouldn’t compare a Pixel to an iPhone in that context. The Google Pixel has been designed to run Android, a fundamentally open platform, which for example allows for sideloading, something that iOS only added recently because of pressure from lawmakers. The Pixel also allows you to install any OS you like while preserving all security features, including Verified boot, whereas the iPhone has always been locked down and only supports a single operating system that’s entirely controlled by one corporation. Hardware-wise, the choice between a Pixel and an iPhone should be pretty clear. The Pixel is open and supports alternative operating systems, as well as custom verified boot signing keys. Software-wise, I’d take the iPhone over a Pixel with the Stock OS any time of the day, even though it’s not as open, simply because I don’t want any invasive Google bullshit running as a privileged system app on my device.
