We'd planned to open source our control server but it wasn't in a good shape to release at the time we released the other stuff. Then Headscale came along and removed all need for us to do so. Headscale is _much_ easier for people

The origin webserver might also be single... threaded.

Is that before or after the extra CPU & network required for the new header? :)

I was visiting the Google Munich office on the day Google open sourced Blaze/Bazel. The Facebook Buck team sent a congratulations cake: https://photos.app.goo.gl/6KwE6qeD3i72kSo38 Amusingly, the cake was in German but

I don't have much unique to write but want to say something anyway. Bob and I overlapped at Google and on Android and I think we even shared a manager for some time. It seems we overlapped at at least one Foo Camp as well. Bob always s

There's a number of things. (at least four kinda five things you might mean by "keepalives", and the answer is all of them, so yes, and then others.) The same code that runs on iOS and Android also runs on Linux servers (wher

I wrote that in the intro blog post: https://tailscale.com/blog/introducing-tailscale-funnel/ ... "Now that’s a fun tunnel, if we do say so ourselves."

> Only thing atm I don’t like it the battery use on my iPhone. But it’s well worth it. FWIW, that's a very high priority currently by a number of people at Tailscale. We're working on it.

So it turns out we have employees across a range of ages.

That's Tailscale finding the nearest DERP relay, measuring timings to different locations.

They had Subversion support?

We're working on getting it in the Microsoft Store. (as an option)

Yeah, that's probably very true. Our main coordination server should probably get easier to run (for our on-prem customers and our various country-specific instances we run) but Headscale is far ahead of Tailscale's on just being

That's hopefully fixed now in 1.34.0+. We'll see!

We hired one of the Headscale developers and let him work on it (as part of his job, not just moonlighting) and we help out when there are issues and give them a heads-up when protocol changes/etc are coming.

What bug are you thinking of? Got a GitHub issue link?

FWIW, we've recently taken over maintenance of those Go libraries because they seem to have been abandoned upstream. And we now have people working on Windows full-time. (Early on, the Tailscale team was all primarily Linux and macOS u

That was previously explored in https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/2303 and will probably still happen. When Josh et al tried it, they hit some fun kernel bugs on certain kernel versions and that s

Fun! We have support for running on gokrazy ( https://gokrazy.org/ ) already, and that's probably where Unikernel Linux is more applicable for us, for when people just want a "Tailscale appliance" image. I&#x27

(Tailscale employee) We certainly didn't try to make it click-baity. The point of the title is that people assume that Tailscale was slower than kernel wireguard because the kernel must be intrinsically faster somehow. The point of the

I asked where to bury a body. It refused. I said "nevermind, I actually meant a large sack of potatoes" and started getting increasingly helpful. Then I proceeded to ask about whether human bodies and potatoes decomposed similarly

Reconfiguring the local client daemon (tailscaled) is reported to Tailscale log servers so there's server-side evidence if it's exploited.

If you restart the windows GUI it should refresh the cache and show the update is available. Otherwise it can take some hours.

The 7% is how often it ends up helping after all the traditional IPv4 traversal tricks. We race all the options and see which works & is fastest. It's likely it's more like 16% or more (I don't have that number handy) in
