There's a scifi short story about a janitor who knows how to do basic arithmetic and becomes the most important person in the world when some disaster happens. Of course after things get set up again due to his expertise, he becomes low status again.

I had to go look that up! I assume that's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Feeling_of_Power ? (Not a janitor, but "a low grade Technician"?)

Related, I gave a 6 minute lightning talk about writing tests in Go that use the test binary itself as the PID 1 under an emulated Linux in QEMU:

The answer is... 2,386 LOC records.

How many of those additional 1,643 were a result of your 2014 blog post? :)

Title has a typo, should be “liberated”.

Edit: I noticed that the article's page title is also misspelled this way.

bradfitz · a month ago

I assume it's intentional, playing on "libre" (as in libre software, not just gratis software)

It appears that it does integrate with Tailscale for auth (but not using tsidp via OIDC like I expected): https://perkeep.org/doc/server-config#simplemode

bradfitz · a month ago

I'm a co-author of tsidp, btw. You don't need tsidp with a Tailscale-native app: you already know the identity of the peer. tsidp is useful for bridging from Tailscale auth to something that's unaware of Tailscale.

Why would this need to work with Tailscale? It just needs to be running on a machine in your tailnet to be accessible, what other integration is necessary?

bradfitz · a month ago

Primarily using Tailscale for authentication as well, replacing perkeep's other auth methods.

> All customers can use two peer relays, for free, forever. As your needs scale, so will the number of available peer relays. To add even more peer relays to your tailnet, come have a chat with us.

I have to pay to be able to donate my own infra to make tailscale's service better?

Tailscale employee here.

I kinda doubt we'll end up charging for it (as it costs us ~nothing except support costs, which are real), but it's easier to make it free later when it's GA rather than rug pull on people and start charging for it in the future if we start it out free+unlimited.

this doesn’t seem ideal for a piece of hardware that may go in a remote location.

bradfitz · 2 months ago

It doesn't. But judging from forum posts, it seems like it was a common failure mode and it might've been fixed in later hardware revs.

It's difficult for me to tell how many of the issues in that thread are serious, because there also seem to be a surprising number of people who come back to say "I solved it by enabling h264 in my browser".

On the other hand there are people who say "I ordered three, two work and one doesn't" which seems like pretty good evidence there can be real issues with the hardware.

bradfitz · 2 months ago

I ordered three and they all worked and then one died. Fortunately they replaced it, though.
