Tailwind is great, we use it a lot for work. I just don't give a shit about frontend, so I try to skip having to deal with it.

Shoutout to Bootstrap for carrying all my frontend needs since like 2013 or some shit.

Only recently I started using alternatives such as water.css and PicoCSS.

being totally honest, if someone can briefly explain to me what is this syncthing, I'll join a few VMs. Still can't figure out the purpose of it . Maybe I'm too dumb or asleep.

Syncthing is just a piece of software to sync files between your own devices (well, that's the primary use case). There's no cloud storage middleman, only your own devices.

Syncthing relays are used when people can't connect directly between said devices (in other words: NAT skill issue). Syncthing traffic is encrypted, so the relays are just to create an open route between devices.

Thanks a lot
I was actually looking at Syncthing itself, not the relay part lol

@beanman109 did you stress test your dashboard beforehand?

Considering you're in the 400+ club, I thought they'd have a concierge or something like that to help you take care of all the clicks (and what not) to pay your hosting bills.

I figured, but thought I might as well explain both briefly for anyone that is lurking and is too afraid to ask

zGato

to make things interesting: should I only add very exotic locations? or all in? I can literally deploy it as a docker stack everywhere.

It would be very fun if you went all in, but I'd be careful about those with fairly low bandwidth quotas. It's hit or miss whether or not your relay will be used, but it can quickly rack up.

Also, there are only like ~640 relays up right now, if you add another 400 you basically have 40% LOL

maybe start with locations with high bandwidth or you may experience a lot of unexpected downtime on nodes suddenly

ACTUALLY
i just fixed this with v2, it turns out the IP geolocation lookups started to take forever due to rate limiting by looking up so many nodes
i added a local 6 hour geocache so it can do local lookups of IPs now
i can restart and its back up instantly now

so is it like hosting a public tor node? so I would be hosting it for the public to use, and im using my bandwidth right? I have several idle vps's that I might install it on

Syncthing is great! It syncs files as soon as they’re available, so convenient—just set the time! Once the parameters are configured, you can go home after work, open the folder, and see the files you need… no more looking for the download button!

It uses a similar concept, yes - There aren't really any risks (besides bandwidth usage) or bad reputation (that I know of) related to Syncthing though, compared to Tor.

Even if your provider explicitly disallows Tor (even relays), a Syncthing relay is probably still fine.

Thank you. Do you recommend any docker that I can spin up fast for this? I have several vps's with unlimited bandwidth that im interested in putting to use heh
