Tailscale is free for pretty much everything you'd want to do as a home user. It also doesn't constantly try and ram any paid offerings down your throat. I was originally put off by how much Tailscale is evangelised here, but afte

That's certainly a stance you can take, but it's not one I'd expect to see from a US administration that's repeatedly (including from the president less than 48 hours ago) got on its high horse to criticise what it perce

Switzerland is quite unusual in that regard. I would imagine most Hacker News users live in places where recording or photography in a public place is not illegal. Your suggestion of violence certainly isn't legal in most places!
