Really not bad to contribute to as open projects go. Worst part was running into someone else who'd fixed the same issue, but then abandoned the PR without a word, and then having to make the declaration that it's code I wrote and am legally allowed to contribute. (Though I remain very skeptical of its validity in court, given that at no point did I ever see a description of what DCO means, I just know it.)
Holy cow, Tailscale is cool.
It's a VPN system. It's absolutely, totally plug-and-play. You make an account, install it on a machine, add it. Add a new machine and now you can magically ssh between them no matter where they are.
It also does file sharing, and you can expose web services to your network -- this is nice, since I can run something on one machine and everything else accesses it. No worries about NAT, about changing IPs when you're on one network or anothe…
Really liking Tailscale (thanks for the recommendations).
Hope they won't do any funny business like getting bought by evil corporations etc.

Can't log into my Proxmox server because I need to renew my Tailscale authentication but that requires I log in via Google and Google wants me to press a button on my phone which is in another room.
Tonight's lucky winner is Tailscale! Normally pretty good, I found an obscure corner that built host port with concatenation rather than doing it right.

Any ways I could like somehow host a Minecraft server in my NAS and then use my free tier VPS with tailscale to let people access the server without needing to get into my VPN?
I do that with nginx for some web pages, but that's http which is a completely different story...
