A website where a user can upload "active code". The definition of "active code" is broad & sometimes debatable - e.g. do old MySpace websites count - but broadly speaking the best way of thinking about it is in term

Don't get me wrong, Google is bad/evil in many ways, but the public suffix list exists to solve a real risk to users. Google is flagging this for a legit reason in this particular case.

Fwiw I bought an Asus router that came with Wireguard pre-installed & has a nice management UI. It handles client onboarding via a simple QR code that integrates with the Wireguard mobile app - even my mother had no issue setting it up.

I haven't tried Headscale but isn't it more complicated than Wireguard? The selling point of Tailscale is that they simplify Wireguard UX by adding a proprietary control server - this adds complexity to the stack (extra componen

If you're running a homelab, the likelihood that you're interested in removing cloud-dependencies from your stack is above average. If that's the case, Tailscale is out. Tailscale is just an added unnecessary external depende

This is an excellent overview & much needed context. I read the (very short) OP but didn't dive into other sections of the website (which is not an initiative I'd previously been aware of). Probably a difficult task to ensure

I think the sentiment of the OP actually gets to the heart of this (the idea of open-source is transparency, visibility, auditability) but the problem here is it need to be applied to the actual process, not to the process of building tools

I agree insofar as ensuring all e-voting implementation attempts are open source will enable us to more comprehensively prove that it is a fundamentally bad idea.
