Tailscale solves the access/NAT issue and keeps your services off of your WAN, but it relies on a 3rd party to let you use your own equipment. I understand why

Tailscale solves the access/NAT issue and keeps your services off of your WAN, but it relies on a 3rd party to let you use your own equipment. I understand why it is useful and a necessary service but I'll never touch it.
- Spooky23 1y agoThere’s a bunch of ways to achieve a similar goal. Especially if the scenario is you and your family to home or a server. I use it with a few friends and we do stuff like host backups for each other. It makes it easy to securely allow that one server to be available to my hosts.
- ta1243 1y agoWhat worries me is how the HN groupthink mentions it at every possibility. If people on HN aren't capable/willing to run their own kit there's no hope. In the slashdot days you'd never get such worship of tailscale and cloudflare. Even in the early days of HN you'd have people suggesting a bit of rsync rather than using dropbox. It feels like the modern tech zeitgest is either dripping in far-right memes, or it's "tech enthusiasts" from https://thecatholicdev.substack.com/p/tech-enthusiasts-vs-tech-workers https://thecatholicdev.substack.com/p/tech-enthusiasts-vs-te... It was probably ever so -- slashdot 20 year ago was full of Atlas Shrugged, Firefly, etc, I was just too young and naieve to understand it
- nik282000 1y agoIt's everywhere, reddit and the fediverse also seem to have drank the cloudflare coolaid. Someone's been pushing the idea that it's impossible to host on 80/443 safely, only big brother can keep you safe.
