i haven't heard it yet but i just saw an episode about #game #streaming on #SelfHostedPodcast. i have done a lot of hacking around this over the last few months so i'm excited to hear it but i'm glad to see a mention of #tailscale because i use that on my iPad, MetaQuest Hat, AppleTVs and services I operate.

i use Sunshine server on Windows and Linux for Moonlight clients. works so well! 2560x1440 0 dropped frames at 60fps 20Mbps+, I cap Sunshine at 60, otherwise 144Hz

A week or two ago I finally made my own private #vlan in Luci OpenWrt. That of course made it so I cannot access that #server over #tailscale . Today I just figured out how to add tailscale access.

#selfhosting is a pain but wins like this make it so fun :)

What’s your take on #Tailscale? Would you deploy it in your company as a VPN?

It sill amazes me that I can turn on and off the lights of my house while on a plane in the middle of the pacific #homeassistant, #tailscale #headscale.

An afternoon of learning. While trying to connect #tailscale to #openbsd, I came across with @rakheshster 's post, https://rakhesh.com/linux-bsd/tailscale-on-openbsd/. Sadly, openbsd is not longer officially supported
Fixing the rc.d script. I ended up reading about how rc.d works on OpenBSD and trying to understand rc.subr.
Still need to see why pgrep doesn't catch the whole pexp but it connects :)

#Tailscale claims its IPs and connection in general work in inside LANs (so, at home) during internet blackouts but they most definitely do not for me. 1m blackout and I'm getting "Relay servers unavailable".

After spending hours working on #wireguard to have a proper access control, I'm starting to realize that I'm better off using #tailscale for that.

Rooting and Securing Your Onyx Tablet: A Developer's Guide

The more I roam around the internet, the more I actually want to set up something like #Tailscale; it seems so useful and cool. But even if I wanted to do it on this random family network, I'd still need a home server, and I'm already raging at my generic VPS, so no idea if that's seriously a good idea.

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?

I'm curious, other users of #Tailscale; if you run Headscale as your control plane... where do you host it? Do you punch a port through your firewall and use DDNS? Do you host it outside your network on a VPS?

Currently everything I connect to on my homelab is accessed via Tailscale... which is a circular dependency if I pivot to Headscale.

(not planning on it right now, but hoping to understand how others use it)

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.
