@JonathanGerlach for those looking for a #Tailscale alternative, there isn't only #Headscale, the open re-implementation of the control server, but there's also the similar, but completely independent #Netbird
https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird
Haven't tried it out yet myself, but it looks quite nice.

Ich brauche wirklich eine andere Lösung als #Tailscale, wenn ich mich mit dem lokalen Netz verbinden will. Ständig ist da irgendwas kaputt, obwohl ich gar nichts gemacht habe.
Hattet Ihr bei #headscale / #tailscale mal das Problem das ssh von Client zu Client nicht (mehr) geht? Das timed bei mir aus, obwohl beide Clients laut Server an Tailnet verbunden sind. Beides Linux, ssh sollte tun, timed aber aus. Any ideas?

If you have used and loved #Tailscale, and you still like the product but want a sensible insurance option to reduce your exposure to potential #enshittification, what *hosted* options have you looked at as alternatives?
Part of the appeal of #Tailscale for me at least was that they provided a really thoughtful UX layer over some existing cool OSS tech like #wireguard.
Also, many of us have tried self-hosting and want to minimise what they self host if at all possible.

MastodonJonathan Gerlach (@JonathanGerlach@mastodon.social)I've been really liking Tailscale, but they just took $160 million in funding and I have a weird feeling that the lenders will want to make that money back plus a profit.
#Tailscale just secured $160M of venture capital.

I can't be the only one noticing how much the blog post talks about "AI", right?
I'm somehow glad that this happened before I ever found the time to thoroughly integrate Tailscale into my infrastructure.

@nelson I think I said something similar during my epiphany: "The hardest thing about Tailscale is realising there are no hard things about Tailscale".
I hope you, our valued customer, are as happy as we are that thanks to the Dark Money Corp, we have the opportunity to squeeze more than $100 million out of you in fees, surcharges and subscriptions as we scramble to make quota for the next tranche of highly speculative capital.
Yours,
fkn #Tailscale, apparently.
Having a #networking #tech question: What would be a good low power solution for a #tailscale node on my home network that allows for exit traffic? Currently running on my NAS which pushes it to running at 30-35W continuously rather than the more usual 15-25W.
More experimentation with @readeck
Since it is running on local on my #MacBook in an external SSD, and my #iPadPro is my main device to explore the web, I needed a solution to save pages.
I created a #shortcut on #iOS that use #Tailscale to connect to my MacBook to make an API call. It works very good!
My next trick is to install #Readeck on a #docker container, on my #Synology #NAS. More on this soon..

Just successfully set up a personal searxng instance on a raspberry pi on my tailnet so I can access it with all my devices and I’m feeling like a hacker-ninja. Time for bed.

Schade eigentlich. Tailscale WAR ganz nett. Aber wenn man einen Identity-Provider nutzen muss und man bei Änderung der Mailadresse beim Identity-Provider einen riesigen technischen Aufwand treiben muss, damit man sich bei Tailscale überhaupt wieder anmelden kann, kann #Tailscale gern kacken gehen. Sowas unflexibles hab ich noch nicht gesehen.
Ich bin noch nicht einmal in der Lage, den Tailscale-Account selbst zu löschen, weil ich mich nicht mehr anmelden kann.
Ok. #Tailscale ist für mich gestorben.
Die akzeptieren nur Identity Provider zu Anmeldung. Völlig inakzeptabel.

@zak I'm running #tailscale with exit nodes on my home network, so when I enable it on my phone, I get both ad-blocking DNS (pihole at home) and access to home resources at the same time. Based on #wireguard.
On-Device AI bringt lokale KI-Power vom iPhone direkt auf den Mac und macht ihn zum privaten Rechenzentrum. Apple sollte so etwas längst selbst integriert haben, statt Bastellösungen zu überlassen.
Kennt jemand eine Open Source-Variante von #tailscale? #WIreguard ist einfach, aber das zentral zu managen finde ich angenehm, mit einem #Zero-Trust-Ansatz ist das hübsch....
