Optical fiber communication operates at 1.55 micro meters or 193THz. Electronics operates in the electromagnetic spectrum or at GHz. There might be no fixed size or wavelength in either case, but the shortest wavelength for radio signals th

To fair, Google invented transformers and contributed a lot of basic research. OpenAI made it bigger.

Photonic wavelengths are shorter than electronic wavelengths. Why are photonics waveguides bigger then?

No, private keys don’t leave user’s devices. This is the case in all such products. But with a malicious update, they could ship them to their infra, targeting some users. The product then becomes malware!

That’s interesting! The metadata is generally public information, I don’t care about that. The malicious updates and key abuse are more concerning. It’s true for all software, and probably better done with OS, like on iOS. The VPN could ste

Yes, Microsoft and Google will not be able to authenticate to your network if you enable tail lock. A node in your network has to sign.

by aborsy 2y ago
Why do you have to trust a third party? It’s end to end encrypted, and with tail lock enabled, nodes can not be added without user’s permission.

No need to open ports if it’s installed on devices, ACLs, tailscale SSH, taildrop, DNS.

How do you get invited in good groups? Like, if you don’t have a friend inside already.

I wonder why US voters don’t call for banning outsourcing. Their jobs are shipped overseas, for the benefit of investors and managers. Also, some of the migration is to lower the business costs. That too could be addressed.

If you are toast, how does anyone else find a job at the same stage? The vast majority of population doesn’t even have technical experience.

Does Android app have anything missing in iOS? I use Tailscale on iOS and it has been solid.

Take a look at HL15 from 45Drives. Many will rush to tell you it’s expensive for homelabers. Sure, but not that much. The retail price of the motherboard is 800 USD, CPU, PSU, NVME RAM around 400-500. That leaves you with the case which is

I would use an actual small server, with ECC RAM, and IPM. It would ideally be flexible so I can add/remove storage, RAM etc.

What if the app refuses to provide those functionalities?

Those are peer to peer. The coordination server manages the public keys, and exchanges the ip addresses initially. After that peers connect directly. Relays are involved only briefly initially.

Pay or Okay is reasonable to some extent (depending on the amount). Do European countries hold themselves and the local companies to the same standards, respect their citizens and their privacy rights? I remember a French institution could

One issue is that the permissions are hard to understand. The end user doesn’t know, like, what bus-xyz or a socket is and if this app needs it! The permissions may also change over time. Like a PDF reader may not need a particular permissi

The security of the devices don’t depend on Tailscale coordination server, if tail lock is enabled. An attacker with access to coordination or relay servers would be able to change whatever is in the admin console, which are basically ACLs.

If there is a bug in file system, both source and its replication can be lost. I will add to this a different backup software to an offsite or cloud. I use restic.
