This is very cool, but you should not use Cloudflare Tunnels to stream media. This is forbidden by their terms of service (or at the very least not the intended use of Tunnels and they may disable your service). Use Wireguard or Tailscale instead.

This is not so much a fantasy about "being independent". Instead, it's a fantasy about being a sysadmin.

There should be volunteer groups at local libraries running these services for their local communities.

It’d be a great way for kids to learn to operate services and a great alternative for anyone who wants to use the fantastic open source stuff that’s out there but lacks expertise or time.

For secrets management, I basically just use fnox everywhere (https://fnox.jdx.dev/). It's a frontend to tons more options than sops, although age is still included. I also think the DX is better but to each their own.

There’s still cloudflare in the middle of the everything and it doesn’t make it “independent”.
