I live in a major Indian city and 1 gig fiber up and down is $30. We've also got really good 4G/5G in most places. Also in the super remote areas WiMAX is (still) an option.

Just want to be the nth person to chime in and say the Google doc variant is the better read.

Ths only issue that non-human readable log storage has caused is the endless nagging on forums. Literally never been an issue besides.

What does "shopped around" mean? That's not a common or accepted idiom for code. Or not one I've come across anyway. Also show me evidence of them "shopping around" code. I'll wait.

Care to share any evidence to back up the tall claim that systemd authors forced their code on anyone?

by pcpuser 1y ago
There's so much I disagree with in the beginning but the ending is what actually grinds my gears. You make it sound like systemd manufactured this monoculture somehow. This is also the point I've seen people throw in a comparison

Times change too. Microsoft does a ton of open source. They maintain an excellent immutable Linux distro. As always the true enemy is dogma and a cult-like adherence to it.

by pcpuser 1y ago
Agreed. I wonder how many people in this thread hating on systemd have actually tried to work with upstream. They are an extremely pleasant and welcoming community who are willing to work with you on the most trivial stuff.

Nah man you don't get it. They were "monetizing" Wayland. Whatever that means. It's certainly not because X is an insanely old and difficult to maintain codebase with questionable design decisions.

Google auth but you can run your OIDC provider if you're into that: https://tailscale.com/kb/1240/sso-custom-oidc .

So Tailscale has "extra dependencies" on Tailscale. Gotcha.

NAT busting, and no key management. What extra dependencies does Tailscale have?

That's definitely a limitation of your network. I don't see how ipv6 can shoulder any responsibility here.

You might find mitmproxy useful.

Except for the fact that chromium is a feeder project for a proprietary closed source work and so often bends to the will of that project. Morally there's no equivalence here.

Without replying to specific parts, I'd like to point out that you and others bring up parallels between Systemd and closed source proprietary software shops like Apple and Windows. I view this as bad faith because Systemd should be af

So close once more lol > 2. The CertificationRequestInfo value is signed with the subject entity's private key. (See Section 4.2.) I wonder what this means? Hmm...

by pcpuser 2y ago
Please read this section carefully: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2986#section-3 The CSR contains the digital signature of the public key that is requesting the certificate. So you absolutely need the p

by pcpuser 2y ago
Again, completely off the mark here. To create any CSR, bifrost or not, you need the private key that the CSR represents. > Creating a CSR creats my private key for the CSR... Not really sure what's going on here tbh.

The UUID is "sent" to the server in the signed certificate. Not in the clear or over an app protocol like HTTP. There's no way to fake this UUID.
28.
by pcpuser 2y ago
The HTTP header comparison at the end is so close but so far. The auth in the server is basically your tsv file. You can't fake the UUID in mTLS because you need the actual private key to be present with the client when it makes a conn

Which server is running plain HTTP? What credentials are transmitted over plaintext? I'd suggest reading up a bit more about X.509 CSRs and Certificates before assuming that private credentials are being transmitted in the clear. I app

by pcpuser 2y ago
Yeah that part about deploying could use a lot more context. The idea is that any client can go and get itself a certificate and talk to your application server. All clients start off "un-verified" or "deactivated", unti
