- AndyKelley 2y agoThe same criticisms apply to Tailscale, Homebrew, Pi-hole and all those others.
- usr942568903890 2y ago> The same criticisms apply to Tailscale No it doesn't. Tailscale's shell script is entirely optional and installs a distro/package manager specific package. It also doesn't mess with your PATH variable. They maintain packages for most popular distros as you can see here https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/ https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/. The sibling comments are just spreading misinformation because those people were too lazy to actually look anything up.
- lagniappe 2y agoNot an argument.
- nicce 2y agoWhile it is fairly common way, it does not mean that it is good way.
