Readit NewsMost vegetarians I know don't touch "fake meat" because the appearance of it being "real" is enough to put them off of it, the value prop is actually a negative to that market, so you're left with an addressable market of trying to convince non-vegetarians that the ultra processed tofu and/or fungus patty that looks like a hamburger is as good as a hamburger, and as accomodating as I can be, it's just not.
As shocking as this is, it's not _surprising_
Accidentally wiring everything to everything else sounds kind of scary.
There's 1 or 2 things I wouldn't mind securely exposing to the internet (like Plex) but nothing I need so desperately while I'm out and about that I'd even want to take that risk.
Sounds like this is just for self-hosting?
Well, yes and no.
You can use it like ngrok, and I'm sure you could configure wireguard and ngrok to give you something similar to what Tailscale does, but Tailscale does it out of the box, with polished and well built client and server apps.
I'm no infra guy, I'm just a former front-end eng, but it gives me the confidence to expose media centres and file servers etc to "the wild" without it being public.
Using Jellyfin to watch content from my home server on my iPad while I'm away from home is as "easy" as Disney or Netflix with Tailscale, just installed the clients and servers and .. voila?

TikTok is more stochastic and is more likely to give wider circulation to niche and esoteric subjects. Booktok could never happen on YouTube shorts or Instagram.
Using those other platforms is like shouting into the wind. You could have videos up for years and not get 50 views. With TikTok, a random video could be seen by 250k people.
A corollary to other systems being so auto-regressive is that they are much more dangerous for vulnerable people. If Instagram decides to start showing you extremist or otherwise political content, that is all you will see. This is the "rabbit hole" effect that people have commented upon. This doesn't happen to the same degree with TikTok; while this content can be recommended, it's not all that will be recommended.
It shows an understanding and adoption of risk that most western social networks don't have, while they're too invested in supporting and reinforcing the status quo, TikTok has always felt a little more willing to find the edges of/expand your interests.
Or they could just do Hamlet with Lions
All of this is to say, these and some of other recommendations in this thread are recommendations I didn't know I needed.
HN isn't perfect, but neither am I. I really appreciate the breadth of topics and interests. Big shoutout to PG for starting it, to Dang and all of the other moderators, and to everyone that contributes. I've learned a lot over the years.
They say to never be the smartest person in the room. I'm not even in the top 100 here and totally fine with it.
