Tailscale has been much larger than Netmaker for as long as Netmaker has existed

There is another interesting company in this space- Netmaker[0]. It's been getting a lot of traction in the homelab space- namely because it takes advantage of kernel wireguard, which is more performant than the userspace wireguard tha

How about fitness? Sex life? How's your diet? Do you have any vices? Do you have close relationships with friends or family? Do you do anything creative? You're doing great on money, but you spent a whole lot of time talking about

Kubernetes is a good tool to run a service inside a VM and front the service with an LB. And if you ever have a need for more than that- you're ready. I think your argument is that K8s adds a lot of complexity, but that's just not

Managed Kubernetes has such low overhead though, and gives you so many options to play with later on (across clouds, on-prem, serverless). Some cloud providers don't even charge you for the control plane, so you're not even paying

that can be a pro or a con depending on the way you look at things! For linux systems, I like fine grained configuration. For Mac though- I don't like it. I own so little of my system on a Mac that I don't want to maintain custom

If this seems like too much configuration overhead for anybody else, check out amethyst[0]. It's UI driven and configured similarly to xmonad- which is more opinionated than some other tiling WMs I liked i3 when I was a linux user, but

I know we all hate subscription models, but for self driving it makes sense. If car manufacturers are expected to be liable for their self driving cars, then they should be charging money to their customers so they can insure them. Manufact

This looks like an Akamai DNS load balancing solution. It will route a user to an endpoint based on a bunch of statistics (think location, availability, latency, and/or load), and will often handle caching and DDOS protection as well

When I first saw that 81 number, I thought to myself "Wow, I can't imagine what it must be like to live in such a repressive regime". When I see comments comparing this to capital punishment and the war on terror from the US,

The goal of this post isn't to distribute actionable advice to those directly affected by the event. The odds that they're reading a US tech forum are slim. Most of us here are looking to better understand what's going on in

The data shows that states with red voters also have high welfare rates. That's very different than showing that red voters get more welfare. Given that welfare recipients are among the minority in every single state, it's very po

Validating an idea isn't just getting a yes or no. You need to understand what the person's problem is, how much that problem costs them, what solutions they have tried before, what problems did they have with those solutions, etc

"You can have any color you want as long as it's black" isn't the selling point. The selling point is- "This car was designed to be black, and looks better in black than other cars." It's like how my screw

Most users don't care about the engine, they care about things like where your bookmarks are synched and configured, and the UI. This is like telling people that a lexus isn't a real luxury car, it's just a re-skinned toyota.

This is a space that's surprisingly ripe for disruption. Cloud providers push 'hybrid cloud' by allowing you to integrate your own machines with their networks- but they maintain the upper hand in that relationship because th
