I got used to the hub-and-spoke model at home (previously thin terminal, server-client, etc.). Big ole desktop/server and smaller devices that (ab)use it remotely. Roam around with a smaller computer/tablet/phone. Tailscale to bind it all together.

If your computing needs line up, it's a very serviceable approach.

Yes, this is my approach now: a home server with devices connected via Tailscale. I'm starting to do more from my phone and less on the laptop.

I haven't added my iPad to the Tailnet yet but i reckon that it could become a very comfortable and productive device for me.
