Would be a good moment to codify the powers of the president and cabinet in a constitutional amendment. "After with this, or I'll be worse than him in the other direction" should get bipartisan support. If the US is still a thing then.

I'm in Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie - The world building there feels so natural - drawn into a deeply complex and somewhat alien society without tedious exposition. The last two authors I read through their works were @older.bsky.social and @kbspangler.com - I think Leckie is next!

The devices would need a route to your device. Tailscale controls access to peers in your netmap, so only relationships on your tailnet, defined by your policy file. The weird edge case exception might be if there's another network device other than `tailscale0` that is also on the 100.64/10 space

Radical transparency: the more the marketing surveillance apparatus knows about me, the easier it will be for it to upload my personality into the cloud.

If they got the parts back, would they put them in a plane? How much undetectable shenanigans could one do with an unlimited budget?

I absolutely believe it was a mistake, but was immediately taken advantage of. Mistakes are universal, ignoring them, nearly universal.

That's why I telnet everywhere. No console lag. This is what pure performance looks like! Plus, if I ever forget my password, I know that someone still has it!

I would love a 7"-8" modern tablet that runs Linux. I feel like the market should be flooded with them.

Generally yes. The initial setup is middling-technical, but after that, it "just works". The Tailscale youtube channel has some great self-hosting content on it, and a bunch of Tailscale employees (👋) are active here, Reddit's r/tailscale and discord.gg/tailscale for questions that pop up.

Thank you! I have run through your whole catalog in the last few months after a recommendation from @older.bsky.social (who also should be recommended across the board!) Enjoyed every bit of it.

Re-upping reccomedation: Everything @kbspangler.com has put out. There's something there for everyone. From cyborg detective novels to sword and sorcery comics to manic ninjas hanging out with ghosts across multiple formats. The Rachel Peng novels were my favorites, and a good starting place imho.

There seems to be an even split between "neat, the always on ai listening features are fab!" And "I just bought a computer with no network capabilities. Looking for a non-multitasking OS recommendation"

nope - at least not from my perspective. downforeveryoneorjustme.com/tailscale Some networks - one hotel I've found, but probably others, block Tailscale as a "Remote Access Tool" We got on a list.

When I had a coffee shop my two most common "making coffee before consuming coffee" mistakes were forgetting the coffee, and brewing water, and brewing the second pot without changing the pot, and overflowing on to the floor.

When I read the title, I thought "clickbait nonsense"; Then I saw what books they were talking about, and thought "No, that actually checks out, I agree with the clickbait nonsense this time" :D You definitely should read Infomocracy and the Centenal Cycle trilogy by Malka Older

Looks like I read Digital Divide in June, so it's been a few months of Nothing But Spangler. :D

I think, having caught the last SideQuested, that I've finally read everything that @kbspangler.com has released. What a ride! Genre and medium-hopping madness! But all of it was solid, fun, and worth the time. I recommend starting with the Rachel Peng novels. Digital Divide is the first one.
