USBC is a fucking dogshit spec (and every implementation might have quirks and now your device is fried WHOOPSIE OOPSIE)

vrtx @vrtx.sh · 15/09/2026

usage/time, but a new isolate may be spun up to handle requests even if one already exists (reconnecting to TS also adds latency). Once the isolate is up and running though, it totally works and it's really cool that you can do all this through WASM. Definitely workable depending on use case.

000

vrtx @vrtx.sh · 15/09/2026

verdict for now: unfortunately can't use this for the proxy use case I had because of how much the latency can vary at startup (WASM load+connection). Can pin an isolate for some time after a request to avoid the WASM load, and you can also shut down the tailscale connection to reduce CPU

100

vrtx @vrtx.sh · 09/09/2026

Part of the latency is also from loading the WASM blob (currently embedding it in the script, brotli compressed, takes about 100-200ms to load), and a fresh ephemeral auth to the tailnet every time an isolate boots. I'm still playing around with it to see if I can get it to be faster.

000

vrtx @vrtx.sh · 09/09/2026

It's on @bunny.net's Deno-based edge runtime. Right now everything is through DERP, it doesn't seem to be able to establish a direct connection.

101

vrtx @vrtx.sh · 08/09/2026

Can you run Tailscale in an edge worker, using WASM, to proxy requests to your tailnet? Why yes, yes you can!* (If you _hate_ having good TTFB, and love racking up CPU time costs)

i'll give ya $5 (in fartcoin) if you can guess when i deployed my initial implementation, and when i realized what i had done.

fun fact: traefik initializes an instance of every middleware for each router its connected to. this has fun and exciting implications for your plugin's resource usage, say, if it starts three watches on your k8s api server on startup.

000

vrtx @vrtx.sh · 04/09/2026

You can just slap some Go code in a config map and bam, traefik plugin.

thankfully, you can use per-node configs to roll out the changes to existing nodes, not just new nodes. cordon, drain, delete cilium pod (nuke daemonsets after cilium), wait for everything to go green, uncordon, repeat with next node, ... , profit!
