No, it doesn't create an L3 like Tailscale. A client (a machine running the tela CLI) connects to an agent (a machine running telad) via a hub (a machine running telahubd), but once they connect they negotiate a P2P route if they can.

Thanks! Yes, Tela already does UDP hole-punching. I made Tela because I wasn't allowed to install Tailscale on my new corporate laptop, and no other available solution seemed to tick the right boxes. It started as a simple way to RDP t

I'm building my own cloud (I actually typed claude instead of cloud there... wow). There's no IaaS or PaaS; it's much simpler. I wanted my own way of connecting to machines and the TCP services on those machines without hav

Nice system. I think I'd cut out a bit of adhesive whiteboard material and draw dots on that, but that has its own downsides. Little systems like this are so useful. For example, I have a similar system for clothes hanging in my closet

Interesting moral discussion: An estimated 8000 fewer births in 2017 attributed to a law that saved an estimated 57 lives in the same year.

Exactly. Even if I hammer the erstwhile reviewer with Teams/Slack messages to get it moved to the top of the queue and finished before the 5 hours are up, then all the other reviews get pushed down. It averages out, and the review mark

I'm 55 and I started at age 13 on a TI-99/4A, then progressed through Commodore 64, Amiga 2000, an Amiga XT Sidecar, then a real XT, and on and on. DOS, Windows, Unix, the first Linux. I ran a tiny BBS and felt so excited when I h

The saying isn't "The only way..." but "The best way...". Of course one may improve with all the things you mention, and it's a tongue-in-cheek statement anyway, but there's a grain of truth to it. I saw i

There's a saying about golf that probably applies to chess: The best way to improve is to go back in time and learn it at an earlier age.

Exactly what I came here to say. I've been programming for 40 years, 35 professionally, and I didn't find my ergonomic, no-pain, no-RSI happy place until I stopped following advice to sit up straight. I set my chair with just enou

I can honestly say that this happened to me, but the feeling did leave me. It required a massive change of lifestyle and the habits that went with it.

This is well done. I can't say I agree with all of them, but I agree with the fact that you sat down and thought about them, and that you wrote them down. Good job. > Adults make a lot more sense when you realise they're just c

Yeah. Heck, you can just prop the slide rule up somewhere and look at it without even moving the slider. No button punching required.

Bases for cases. One of the advantages of Imperial measurements is that they are divisible by more factors than 2 and 5. This is where metric falls down for cooking. NB: I know the metric system and use it daily, but it's not perfect f

The point of the article is that he can set the C and D scales to the proportion he needs, one time, and then just move the slider around for each ingredient, rather than doing a different calculation for each ingredient. Knowing when to va

This is great! I actually just bought a slide rule a few weeks ago (a Pickett N902-ES), and I've been working through the original booklet. One reason I bought it was to get a different perspective on calculation, since I never used a

I'm running Windows (25H2, 26200.7462). I used the batch file you pasted and tried your repro steps, multiple times (I started writing this comment, in fact). It didn't steal focus. (Edit: See below). I'm quite sure that I ha

Body mechanics, leverage, and neuro-muscular connection definitely come into play. I could deadlift 430lbs for reps at my peak, and I while I was no string bean, I also didn't look all that muscular compared to the other lifters at my
