Headscale is great (I use it) but it is an alternative to the Tailscale control server, not the client applications. Some of those are closed source, and their compatibility with Headscale is not guaranteed.

Tailscale's client is already open source.

https://tailscale.com/opensource: "The core client code for the Tailscale daemon used across all platforms is open source, and the full client code is open source for platforms that are also open source."

So if you are running a closed source OS, Tailscale doesn’t have an open source client? Wouldn’t closed source OS users of Tailscale benefit the most from having an open source Tailscale client available?

> So if you are running a closed source OS, Tailscale doesn’t have an open source client?

As the content at the link makes crystal clear, the client is open source. Additionally, Tailscale's GUI for that client is open source on open source platforms.

99.999% of users of closed source OSs aren't going to care that the GUI isn't open source. The remaining 0.001% just use the open source client without the GUI.

They may or may not care, but just so we’re all on the same page, there isn’t an open source version of the end user application software for closed source operating systems that I can find on that page or any other Tailscale page. If one exists, I am happy to be corrected by you, and I am giving you the opportunity to do so now.

In the spirit of inclusiveness to non-technical folks who are flummoxed by CLIs but also have a religious objection to running closed software on their closed source OS, I'd recommend that they ask a more technically-inclined friend to set up the open source Tailscale client software with Cattail if they're on Windows, or an Automation that drives the CLI if they're on macOS.

Gatekeeping much?

I’m just asking if Tailscale has an open source application. Users who know what a GUI is and why it’s also important that it is open source will care that the GUI isn’t open source. The ones who don’t, won’t. Who benefits from obscurantist-posting like you are doing? Probably not the folks who don’t know that Tailscale doesn’t have an open source app, because the GUI is part and parcel to what the app even is conceptually to the sorts of users who don’t know what GUIs are.

This repository was just archived. Does anyone know what's going on with the project?

I'm not seeing the link on this page, but I believe this popular fediverse account[0] is run by the same folks

Yup. It's linked from https://owlsintowels.org/about/ (search for "More ways to get yer fix").

Genuine question, how could a well-formed HTTP request for a URL ever be considered unauthorized access? If I request something and someone responds...shouldn't it be their responsibility not to share important information?

Edit: should have read the linked article before commenting. It totally wasn't, and the charges were dropped...after thoroughly harassing the kid.

The mental and moral model used by programmers ("you own the backend; I own the frontend; if your backend returns stupid stuff to the frontend without me actively breaking into it, that's your fault") is not, as far as I can tell, shared by broader society.

A passport card is valid for all domestic flights, as well as land travel to Canada and Mexico. I prefer it to my passport book when appropriate as it's sturdier and easier to carry.

It's also nice on international trips as proof of U.S. citizenship (though you'll usually need your book at border crossings)

Same, I just use my Passport Card when flying, which is a Real ID.

My hometown did this, and I was surprised how bad billboards can be when I moved away

Came here to post the same link! That book is wonderfully opinionated and has helped clarify some typographic concepts for me

Well done! I was recently looking around for something like this and didn't love the options. Bookmarked Metacheck :)

Thanks, really means alot.

Why not just copy your last env into the next dir? If you need to change any of the package versions, or add something specific, you can do that without risking any breakages in your last project(s). From what I understand uv has a global package cache so the disk usage shouldn't be crazy.

Yes, conda has a lot more features on paper. And it supports non-Python dependencies which is super important in some contexts.

However, after using conda for over three years I can confidently say I don't like using it. I find it to be slow and annoying, often creating more problems than it solves. Mamba is markedly better but still manages to confuse itself.

uv just works, if your desktop environment is relatively modern. that's its biggest selling point, and why I'm hooked on it.
