Isn’t that just a way to average latency to match up with the other limbs? Nerve conndctions aren’t instantaneous lile electrical wires or fiber optics.

This is a tool, and like all tools, it has equal ability to be used for the good or for the bad. If all you ever look for is the bad, then you will never realize the good.

- Comment on Router suggestions for a complete noob 5 weeks ago:
Let me go out on a limb and rec a cheap mini computer with 2 mini gigabit (or more) ethernets, and either pfsense or opnsense. Those two run on anything that has an x86_64 cpu and easily update. Not any harder to learn to setup than mikrotik, and has lots more capability.

- Comment on How to use a domain I own to self-host services? 1 month ago:
Wheb you put your server’s tailscale IP in the dns, anything that looks up that dns gets the tailscale IP. You only need to connect the devices you want to have connect to the server to the same tailscale network, and your system will handle the routing.
- Comment on How to use a domain I own to self-host services? 2 months ago:
A record with your IP address, AAAA record with your IPv6 address. If these addresses change often, either setup a dyndns (your DBS provider needs to support this) or pay for a Static IP from your ISP. Firewall the hell out of your network, have a default deny (drop) inbound rule, and only open ports for your service. Use an nginx reverse proxy if possible to keep direct connections out of your service, and use containers (docker?) for your service(s). Don’t forget to setup certbot and fail2ban. You need certbot to auto update your certs, and you need fail2ban to keep the automated login hacker bots from getting in.
That’s the minimum. You can do more with ip region blocking and such, as well as more advanced firewalling and isolation. Also possible to use Tailscale and point the DNS to the Tailscale IP, which will eliminate exposing youd public IP to the internet.
- Comment on Study (N=16) finds AI (Cursor/Claude) slows development 2 months ago:
If you already know what you’re doing, AI generating code is redundant. If you don’t know what you’re doing, it might work for you, up to the point you’re spending all your time debugging hallucinatory code.
