How this compares with other libs and frameworks ?

Nice. Vanilla js with a pretty clean code. From a quick look there is some components architecture and they are decoupled via an events bus. I used to implement evented architectures in winform apps in the past. On the one hand it may seem insane but in practice it was a really good choice.

Hmm so how are the alternatives? Just in case I will get banned for nothing as well. I’m riding cc with opus all day long these days.

Had the opposite experience using LLMs with C. Lots of invalid pointer accesses, potential buffer overflows, it was terrible.

Sounds like regular C programming, lol. On a serious note, give Opus 4.5 a try, maybe it would feel better. I’ve experimented with C the other week and it was quite fun. Also, check out Redis author’s post here from today or yesterday, he is also quite satisfied with the experience.

I won’t get into the discussion about whether it’s this or that. I am myself busy crafting prompts all day long. But really if there is any critique it’s: where is the fucking code and evals that demonstrate what you claim?

I'd use WireGuard in that case. The main reason WireGuard is popular at all is because it is approachable. IPsec is much more complicated and is designed for network engineers, not users.
kosolam · a month ago
Well yeah, so except being more complex and having hardware support, is there anything useful in ipsec? I meant a user in the general sense, not necessarily meaning a clueless non technical home user.

Exactly this. I would love to see a commercial product with a hardware implementation for WireGuard, but it does not yet exist. IPsec, however, is well supported.

Thanks for your answers. I wonder though, from the perspective of a small user that doesn’t have requirements for such bandwidth, how does ipsec compare with wg on other metrics/features? Is it worth looking into?

VXLAN over WireGuard is acceptable if you require a shared L2 boundary.

IPSec over VXLAN is what I recommend if you are doing 10G or above. There is a much higher performance ceiling than WireGuard with IPSec via hardware firewalls. WireGuard is comparatively quite slow performance-wise. Noting Tailscale, since it has been mentioned, has comparatively extremely slow performance.

edit: I'm noticing that a lot of the other replies in this thread are not from network engineers. Among network engineers WireGuard is not very popular due to performance & absence of vendor support. Among software engineers, it is very popular due to ease of use.

How is IPSec performance better than wg? I never heard this before, it sounds intriguing.

And the HiDPi/retina issues with 32” Dell monitors for example especially when using rdp is super annoying.

I was having strange slow-loading issues today again, checking in the developer tools I was surprised that Cloudflare injected JavaScript code into our website even though I disabled these features.

Pretty sure you are breaking many laws by doing this.

And, after disabling Cloudflare proxy the strange slow-loading issue were gone. I never saw the website loading so fast before.
