    Have you looked into Tailscale or an equivalent solution like Netbird?

    You could set up a tailnet, create unique tags for each machine, add both machines to the tailnet, and then set up each machine’s network interface to only go through the tailnet.

    Then you just use Tailscale’s ACLs with the tags to isolate those machines, making sure they can only talk to whatever central device(s) or services you want them to, but also stopping them from talking to or even seeing each other.

    Magic Earth. Organic Maps as a backup. I’ve found that Magic Earth is the happy middle ground of map apps.

    Closed source client, but uses OSM for its map data. European company, so better on the data front.

    I tried using Organic Maps as my main navigation app, but there were slightly too many times where it couldn’t find the address, or the navigation got stuck, etc.

    My IT job requires me to get to places quickly if they need on-site support. I have to be able to depend on my map app to get me there reliably. Magic Earth does that, Organic Maps is very good, and I keep it around to use in case I have issues with Magic Earth, but at least in my region of the country, it just isn’t quite up to snuff.

    Snaps are a standard for apps that Ubuntu’s parent company, Canonical, has been trying to push for years.

    The issue that most people have with them, is that Canonical controls the servers, which are closed source. Meaning that only they can distribute Snap software, which many Linux users feel violates the spirit & intention of the wider free and open source community.

    Appimages and Flatpaks are fully open source standards, anybody can package their software in those ways and distribute them however they want.

    .deb files are software packaged for the Debian distribution, and frequently also work with other distros that are based on Debian, like Linux Mint.
