Of course it’s not gone, although I suspect there’s a very large number of people who would be surprised to learn either that their Wi-Fi network at home is actually a LAN or that a LAN has utility outside of just providing access to the Internet.
- mock-possum 2y agoYeah that was my first thought seeing the title - what ‘remembering,’ I’m on a LAN right now, it’s nothing special.
- foobarian 2y agoThe meaning probably includes having at least a few computers talking to each other at home, instead of the sad clone army of NATed web browsers.
- unethical_ban 2y agoMy thoughts after reading the article is that the author compares learning networks and computers isolated on a LAN vs. in the modern world of connected SaaS and the like. That the subject matter is different, less exciting. It's like comparing a company in its startup phase to its soulless corporate behemoth phase. And, it's a tailscale blog so it segues to their business.
