The work Oxide is doing is truly amazing
- brcmthrowaway 2y agoFirst tailscale, now Oxide is the darling of projects 99% of people will never need
- always2slow 2y agoIt's ok to have heroes.
- maybeben 2y agoI look forward to scoring some beefy Milan boxes with weird rails for cheap on ebay because the firmware only loads OpenSolaris.
- aus10d 2y agoYou don't have to "need" it to admire the scope of what they created. Hardware AND software engineering at its finest solving some very hard problems.
- pstuart 2y agoI'm assuming that 1% will make their efforts worthwhile. It is impressive regardless of whether or not you're going to use it.
- StressedDev 2y agoOK, this comment was not really helpful. The article described some really interesting tech. Trashing tech or people who are excited by it does not really make things better.
- breakingcups 2y agoNot only is that not really relevant, but I'd argue Tailscale is actually very useful even to many people who don't feel like they currently "need" it.
- p_l 2y agoI can understand Oxide (though current vmware apocalypse might make their appeal bigger than expected), but Tailscale? Tailscale's biggest proposition is that their VPN software is, arguably, the easiest I've ever managed. There systems that are better integrated in some environments, systems that provide various niche features, etc. But Tailscale is simplest to use.
