I’m ditching streaming services and just going with local music. However all my CDs are converted to either flac or 320kbps mp3 files on my PC and thus far too large for the limited storage I have on my phone.
I was hoping there might be an app that would automatically downconvert to something like 128kbps and then copy over to the Music directory on my phone. A bit like how Calibre can automatically convert eBook files (e.g. mobi to epub) and then send them to your ereader?
Your security, is the connection to the outside world safe?
This is a valid question, but it’s hard to answer because it depends on the security of your own network. Tailscale creates a secure tunnel directly into your home network, but if your home network is compromised then it’s not secure.
Could Tailscale be compromised? I think it would be difficult but not impossible. It’s safe enough for personal use, certainly, but I wouldn’t use it to protect state secrets.
And if you have it on your phone, and someone gets access to your phone, then they can access your home network. How secure is your phone? Do you use biometrics or a password keeper? Do you leave your laptop unlocked?
Security is a mixed topic, and it’s impossible to pull one thread from the sweater without unraveling the whole thing. Sometimes the illusion of security is as effective as actually being secure, and sometimes it isn’t at all.
I am using public vps as entry point with reverse tunnel to home server with SSL
Tailscale is a private VPN tunnel into your home network basically. There would be nothing that is accessible by the public.
