Very fortune-ate anyway

Tailscale has recently "found" two SQLite corruption bugs, now both fixed upstream in sqlite.org/releaselog/3...

The first:
sqlite.org/wal.html#wal...

The second:
sqlite.org/staleexpridx...

Fun times holding SQLite in unique ways!

SQLite folk have been a joy to work with & worth every penny.

I can already tell that "mailing lists were large group emails in old typewriter font" is a phrase that will live rent free in my mind forever

You're welcome anytime

I think I know keccak, that's "keyboard exists chair chair and keyboard"

Coming myself from a city that would have no phone, internet, or air travel without at least some tax subsidized losses to get it going… yes, but also it can be a good thing

And the “most major” one is a remote memory use error in the network stack in the kernel! This is the absolute top of the top of serious security bugs. Exploiters would be excited about less.

Okay but openbsd is one of the most secure code bases in the world and so far, it still only takes 1000 times. Retry this argument later when it doesn’t.

You’re also discounting the other “more minor” security bugs it apparently found in that 1000 runs.

So in a sense the important regulation here has already happened.

Yeah, I’m not necessarily in the “regulate it!” mode for AI. On the other hand, after regulation introduced when lots of people lost their life savings in the dotcom bubble, a big difference this time is only people who can afford to lose can invest big in AI. For better and worse.

One reason there’s such a housing crunch today is that leading up to the 2008 crisis, a lot of the wrong types of housing were over-financed for people who couldn’t afford it but were able to get miscalculated loans. After the crash it ground to a halt. Smoother would have been better.

One consequence of the dotcom bubble was the collapse of Nortel, a solid business that overextended credit to their customers that all died at the same time. The idea of intervening in a bubble is to accept slower growth in exchange for fewer solid companies dying unnecessarily.

Super excited about the personal seat increase from 3 to 6 -- it means I can modestly expand the tailnet for use by my children and my folks' stuff too! Thank you, Tailscale!!

Cloudflare already wrote a paper about their experiments serving the entire internet from a handful of IPs :)

There are. But I suspect it’ll be easier to fix those (relative minority) than to create more IPv4 addresses… :)

we're all just gonna use tailscale, @apenwarr.ca is gonna strike it BIG

It’s important to annualize the costs while you’re there. That $4000 for high speed rail is probably amortized over decades, not $4000/year.

i think tailscale might legitimately be one of the best free products ever made

A company actually updating pricing tiers and not screwing over customers?

Y'all just made my team at work extremely happy.

@tailscale.com ♥️

The @tailscale.com experience is pretty nice. Install, start, log in, and... it works. Not what I'm used to with networking!

Coworker said she wanted an ebook. I said I have it. "With you now?"

"Oh no, I can just snag it from my computer at home." Tailscale, SSH, scp to my laptop, then email it

She watched me do all of that and then looked at me like I had just done witchcraft

@tailscale.com is fantastic. I don’t know what wizardry they used to make it work like that, but I don’t think I’ve ever had such a smooth cross-architecture experience.

Mac Mini M4 running local LLMs over Tailscale is exactly the kind of setup I love seeing. The self-hosted AI stack is getting surprisingly accessible. I wrote a guide covering the infrastructure side of setups like this: pebbleware.gumroad.com/l/self-hosting-starter-g...

When us-east-1 is down the exploits stop working

We’re honored to be nominated for a Webby again. Help us win!

More than anything, we’re grateful to everyone who uses Tailscale, recommends it, and builds with it.

I pushed the button but still on the waitlist for the beta. But it was willing to do the drive the long way and I wanted a nap. Win-win!

I think there was a Black Mirror episode about this

Guess who has two thumbs and took a 2.5 hour Waymo scenic ride from SF to Santa Clara because the Waymo was too nervous to drive on freeways? Yeah that’s right

No, WAT is Weekly Active Tailnets
