  • The maximum internet speed you get is the speed of the slowest link in between your house, your ISP, any other network in the middle, and the ISP you are using to connect your remote device to the internet itself

    On top of that, put tailscale. Assuming packets go directly between home and your remote device, then tailscale should not impact. But if the packets do go trough a tailscale server, like you have no public IP address at home, or CG-NAT, then that will be the bottleneck most probably.

    Tailscale on itself isn’t a measurable overhead.

    In general, for home network speed, consider your home UPLOAD speed (as that will the seen as “download” speed from outside) not the download speed, which is often many times faster.










  • Lowering the entry barrier is a good thing… Self hosting need critical mass to support and use all the nice things we like to selfhost

    More so, from the point of view of big tech independence, for those who care, again lowering the barrier is very important

    So welcome to docker and stuff, I use docker for half my stuff or more, it’s just so much more convenient.

    But never stop trying to understand and don’t be a passive docker-puller whenever possible :)
