I'm more worried about my electricity bill tbh. Low-power devices aren't easily available and the second hand market is crap in my area.

Oh they do remember. They fondly remember those early years piggybacking on strangers goodwill before laughing all the way to the bank.

Market demand. A "boring" static website isn't going to attract VC funding and management approval.

Check if that raspberry pi is behind CGNAT. In that case you'll need something else to tunnel through, like Tailscale that was mentioned elsewhere.

Is that project still alive? Their git repo hasn't been updated in years.

This is the consequence of wrapping everything in glossy plastics and dumbed down UI for decades. People don't want to learn, and even if they do it's all hidden away behind blobs and bloats.

I spent an afternoon doing precisely that. Bought a domain, a vps, and setup pangolin. Can't believe how smooth it went.

You had enough motivation and technical knowledge, that's why. Most people don't even bother having separate storage with dual booting.

Unless you're behind cgnat and without ipv6 support.

Thank you so much internet stranger. Just made the switch!

I wanna switch to FOSS alternatives but swiping is either funky (FUTO) or not available for now (Floris). I ended up downgrading gboard to an older version since all this emoji stuff (especially the bitmoji sticker nonsense) really grinds my gears.
