yeah I have never seen this before but now I must have it

finally: if appropriate you could have the /16 router *also* advertise the /24, which will currently prioritize the one that’s been online longest. there’s work underway to make this more configurable/flexible

(checking the console was actually irrelevant, because control-server reachability doesn’t necessarily indicate reachability of the subnet router for a given client)

whew. ok, it turns out that this is intentional for a number of complex reasons. I can dig out the GitHub discussions of it at some point, but the alternative would have bad security characteristics and have some confusing effects

do you know if the device was shown as offline in the web console? I don’t know the exact semantics, but I feel like we should handle that case. I shall inquire!

yeah this is the good shit tagging @humphd.bsky.social just for kicks

this #monktoberfest talk about the web and “view source” and people using Processing/p5.js to teach coding…boy is it landing with me very fond memories of working with @humphd.bsky.social on the precursors of that. having no idea what we were doing but it being so clear that we needed to do it

the pharmacy staff are also very friendly, but that might be helped by the fact that I see them approximately weekly

I have my bones to pick with Shoppers Drug Mart as a store and economic phenomenon, but I will say that their app-and-SMS prescription management system is very welcome. it definitely contributes meaningfully to my success at the task of staying appropriately medicated.

redacted screenshot of an SMS conversation with a pharmacy bot:

bot: “SDM: No refills left for Rx starting with ABCD at 2 XXXXXX ST. W. To request a new prescription (renewal), reply RENEW.”

human: “RENEW”

bot: “Renewal request submitted for Rx starting with ABCD Status update will be sent within approx. 3 days. If you only have a few days of med supply left, call us at 416-999-9999”

this is a great find, thank you

yeah but I’m not at a conference in NB right now!

just didn't need to see the word "four" in there unless it was part of a sentencing guideline, really. disappointing (pointedly not looking up our own laws on the topic)

shaver, as is @shaver.systems · 30/09/2026

wait, it was running late and I made it! everything’s coming up shaver today (except, sure, the COVID tests thing)

shaver, as is @shaver.systems · 30/09/2026

landed at Logan *just* in time to miss the 11:35 bus to Portland (and thence to @monktoberfest.com ). maybe I can find some COVID tests at the airport while I wait for the next one, because of course I forgot mine

we also get a lot of really valuable product feedback from people in the free tier, which is appreciated as well!

that is a great one. I lucked out with `burmese-eel` and haven't seen anything that short since

hmm. this is making me think things

just had this experience with Perl, but it was on a desktop at least might this be why I finally upgrade my CPU?

hope this doesn't find you, because you are sleeping soundly

some are calling it the most ambitious crossover of all time

once I've met with everyone, I usually "play back" the major themes of what I've learned/heard, and my take on them. pretty much everyone wants to know what their leader is thinking, and this is a good moment to reinforce my priorities and how they've been impacted by the conversations recommended!

080

4. have an ice-breaker for future discussions I've found that after someone has met with me 1:1, they're much more likely to reach out to me for help when they need it. being directly accessible to everyone in the division is important to me, and maybe it's just correlation, but it seems to help

181

3. let people ask me questions 1:1 I make myself available to answer questions at all-hands meetings, syncs with each team, etc.--but there are sometimes questions that people are more comfortable raising in a 1:1 setting. maybe a relationship issue. maybe something that felt too "small" for an AMA

170

2. get input on where I should be spending my attention a favourite question for this is "if you had a magic wand with one charge in it, what would you change at Tailscale?" people bring up processes, hated parts of the code, strained relationships, sources of operating friction, and more

1. learn in detail what it's like to work in the engineering team, from the people who are doing it it's not like I think my managers and directors are lying to me, but it's different to hear it directly from the people living the life.

for me, a key part of getting up to speed as a new leader is meeting 1:1 each person in my new org. this takes a fair bit of time: about 50 hours at @tailscale.com, many thanks to my intrepid EA for the calendar heroics! it's worth it, though, for a few reasons: 🧵

maybe we as the _team_ want to update permissions? (no, you're right, it's weird language)

Canadian company, FWIW. but headscale is also great, which is why we contribute to it!

yeah you need to use an access key to get around the anon limits. a little annoying to set up, but worth it (and you can sops-nix your way to victory for keeping it around)

shaver, as is @shaver.systems · 19/08/2026

I’ve seen some of this stuff already and it’s great. Such a treat to work with Andree and the PAM team and see them bring this capability to life.

shaver, as is @shaver.systems · 19/08/2026

sure is! github.com/juanfont/hea... is what you want, I suspect

shaver, as is @shaver.systems · 13/08/2026

headed to Charlottetown for the weekend with one of the kids and a friend of theirs have we planned what to do? other than two meals, we have not. if you have thoughts, I welcome them!
