Yeah, I moved into software from electrical engineering. “Software engineers” are rarely doing engineering. Though, weirdly, the LLM-assisted coding methods seems to be leading to more of a focus on specs, design documents, and testing methodology, which almost makes it more like actual engineering.

I’ve now been using Rust in that way for about nine months now and while the syntax is sometimes silly feeling, being able to not worry about some many other issues has made development much better.
Just use Tailscale for your VPN. If you want to be 100% FOSS self hosted, set up Headscale as your control server somewhere. It’s simple, secure, and has excellent performance.
EDIT: And also check what your upload speed is from your server. It sounds like you’re running off your home internet connection and many ISPs have terrible upload speeds, particularly for sustained traffic.
