I've been idly following this stuff on & off for years, but I never saw proving a point "instead of using Rust" as one of the motivations of the project. Was that ever stated anywhere?

Until they start using Sidewalk/LPWAN type things automatically instead of your home WiFi.

I had to go look that up! I assume that's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Feeling_of_Power ? (Not a janitor, but "a low grade Technician"?)

Related, I gave a 6 minute lightning talk about writing tests in Go that use the test binary itself as the PID 1 under an emulated Linux in QEMU: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1rAAyOTCsB8GLbMgI0CAb... ht

How many of those additional 1,643 were a result of your 2014 blog post? :)

I assume it's intentional, playing on "libre" (as in libre software, not just gratis software)

I'm a co-author of tsidp, btw. You don't need tsidp with a Tailscale-native app: you already know the identity of the peer. tsidp is useful for bridging from Tailscale auth to something that's unaware of Tailscale.

Primarily using Tailscale for authentication as well, replacing perkeep's other auth methods.

Tailscale employee here. I kinda doubt we'll end up charging for it (as it costs us ~nothing except support costs, which are real), but it's easier to make it free later when it's GA rather than rug pull on people and start c

It doesn't. But judging from forum posts, it seems like it was a common failure mode and it might've been fixed in later hardware revs.

I ordered three and they all worked and then one died. Fortunately they replaced it, though.

Go does. And it supports timeouts and cancelation.

Go strings are just bytes. There is no Unicode or encodings.

There's no WebRTC in Tailscale.

I haven't. I have 5K and 6K monitors. That's indeed privileged, but only for a bit until that's soon commonplace and cheap. So this all sounds like a very temporary problem at this point for something so subjective. Every tim

I haven't used displays with under ~215ppi in over 10 years. I find these subpixel opinion discussions still ongoing very... quaint. :)

My recent horror from some git work was discovering how git sorts its tree objects. The docs just say to sort by C locale (byte-order sorting). Easy. Except git was sometimes rejecting my packfiles as being bogus per its fsck code, saying m

Congrats, Filippo!

Because your switch is mapping a 4 tuple to a certain link and these people aren't, is my guess.

Pollution, advertising, and extra traffic all in one! Puke.

> that doesn't work with UDP or even ping? I never said it didn't work with UDP or ping. I described what it does differently for TCP. Anyway, I'm sorry we offended you with its name. I personally think it would've be

by bradfitz 1y ago
I'm largely responsible for this, so I'll try to answer. Technically it's not NAT64 today. Different prefix for one, but it's also not translated at the IP layer (yet). For TCP, we terminate the TCP in tailscaled and mak

"most complicated" as if that's something's to be proud of! :)

Ha! But seriously, it's written in Go, so probably.

The Plan 9 port of Go _was_ not particularly healthy. It is now. Fixing Go to not special case Plan 9 benefits all platforms--- all operating systems use the same code paths now, making the code simpler.

by bradfitz 1y ago
Indeed. We ran out of time :)

If your 9front machine is in a position on the network whereby it could serve a NAT, you don't have many networking problems at that point. Almost all operating systems can do NAT in such a position. I'm talking about two machines
