- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 2 weeks ago:
Your approach won’t work if you’re behind carrier grade NAT or you can’t open ports. My landlord provides my internet so I use tailscale (with headscale on my long distance vps) to connect everything and it works great. It uses LAN when I’m home, and NAT punches when I’m elsewhere.

You will be if you call customet support and get an AI that can’t help.
- Comment on What is Docker? 1 month ago:
Entirely depends on who’s publishing the image. Many projects publish their own images, in which case you’re running their code regardless.
- Comment on FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies 3 months ago:
It’s not even necessarily the ISPs that are doing it. In many cases they don’t like this because their users start getting blocked on websites; it’s bad actors piggy-packing on legitimate users connections without those users’ knowledge.
- Comment on FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies 3 months ago:
There are residential IP providers that provide services to scrapers, etc. that involves them having thousands of IPs available from the same IP ranges as real users. They route traffic through these IPs via malware, hacked routers, “free” VPN clients, etc. If you block the IP range for one of these addresses you’ll also block real users.
- Comment on Security of running Headscale on a VPS 3 months ago:
Yes but there are ways to protect against that. For instance you can configure Tailscale clients to only trust nodes that have been signed by trusted nodes, or something like that.
