You can run your own command and control server, but of course you need at least one site with a static IP address to run it.

There's also a fully open source clone called Headscale.

ya i have static. i bought a business line when i went to fiber due to that damned neighborhood NAT crap.  ( that they did NOT warn me about.. it was nowhere on their website that they did that to you )

So im stupid. Just got a "SenseCAP Card Tracker T1000-E"

Yet another Lora-wan device. But its about 1/2 the size of a cell phone, built in battery and internal antenna.  Still need a device to hook it to ( Bluetooth ) unlike the T-deck i got, but its small, super portable..  So it wont collect as much dust being smaller.   lol 

Anyone using IPFS? 

I dabbled in it a long time ago, it wasn't really ready for prime time so moved on.  With the coming AI blackout, was thinking of looking at it again, but not sure if its worth my time. I'm sure its matured, but.....  I hear some people are starting to share models this way.
