They started off as a Kickstarter thing and had stock issues in previous rounds too.

I heard that the reason the major car companies started to sour on CarPlay was because Apple started to get increasingly needy with their data collection requirements (as of CarPlay Ultra) and the car companies weren't comfortable (or

Last I checked, VPN network extensions wouldn't run in the simulator.

Yes, it's been our CEO Avery's position for ~6.5 years now that we should run DERP servers on the internet for the public good. (rate-limited) But these are a separate fleet ( https://tailcat.dev/derpmap.json ) sepa

One fun use case: a coworker just whipped up this Minecraft mod using tailcat as its transport: https://github.com/tailscale/tailcat-for-minecraft (just a cute demo, not intended for release or ongoing maintenance)

There's an example in the README how to do exactly that :)

It's not our standard dev environment but some of us use Nix. We don't really use Docker much, though. Mostly just "go test" etc.

Same. But Tailscale keeps sucking me in with new stuff to do. :(

(Author here) WireGuard doesn't do NAT traversal. That's the main thing this adds. And this also adds a CLI tool + library to do streams over WireGuard w/o installing kernel routings, requiring root, etc.

(Author here) There's no vendor lock-in here and no payment or account required. If Tailscale as a company fails, tailcat keeps working if you run your own DERP server. It's just open source code, not a hosted service.

(Author here) The DERP server is already open source and tailcat can use any DERP server you run: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/tree/main/cmd/derper#... We just provide some default ones (

Oh? I thought we added that option on iOS recently. I'll go check.

No, that's not accurate. The same core people were involved.

(I was on the Go team for ages) Seriously, that's all it was. Just Ian alone proposed and rejected a half dozen of his own different approaches to generics. Finally a language + implementation plan came together that people all liked.

Yeah, I remember writing epoll libraries for Perl ( https://metacpan.org/pod/Sys::Syscall , first out 2005-08-01) doing raw system calls because libc on the distros of the time (at least Debian) didn't have epoll su

In other words, it's still super heavy if it's forking a process per connection. I find it ridiculous that PgBouncer even needs to exist. Postgres should be doing this.

I'm 46 now. I remember being shocked at Postgres's heavy connection model when I was 23. I gather things haven't improved since?

We found it at Tailscale and bought an enterprise support contract from SQLite to debug it for us. Worth every penny. We should probably blog about it.

IIRC, that's only for Linux guests that can nest. macOS can only one level deep. That is: you can't have a macOS guest (running on the Apple hardware host) make its own macOS guest.

I can’t tell you how relieving it is to hear somebody else complain about this. This has been my pet peeve for ages.

I seem to recall reading that as a kid too, but I can't find it now. I keep finding references to "Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective" about a Civil War sword being fake (instead of a Great War one), but with the same plot I&#
