Benny<p>I initially registered for <a href="https://mastodontech.de/tags/Tailscale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tailscale</span></a> using my GitHub account, but I'm considering migrating to <a href="https://mastodontech.de/tags/PocketID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PocketID</span></a> and my own domain. However, I have some concerns about losing access to Tailscale if PocketID becomes unavailable. Even worse, I'm worried about the possibility of unauthorized access.<br><a href="https://mastodontech.de/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a></p>
Ted Gould<p>We setup Tailscale at work, and so now I have two tailnets I need to switch between fairly often. Which has me opening up a terminal more than I'd like ("tailscale switch --list", "tailscale switch").</p><p>What I'd like is an indicator that works on Ubuntu that allows me to toggle between them in a menu. I can't seem to find such a thing. But it seems too obvious not to exist. (Tailscale seems to include this in their client for OSX)</p><p><a href="https://social.gould.cx/tags/ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ubuntu</span></a> <a href="https://social.gould.cx/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://social.gould.cx/tags/tailscale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tailscale</span></a> <a href="https://social.gould.cx/tags/indicator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>indicator</span></a></p>
Knut 🏳️‍🌈 🇳🇴🧸<p>Really getting tired of the "think of the children" bullshit in this country. These people are so obcessed with it that it's disgustingly creepy.

musicmatze :rust: :nixos:<p>I have a very weird issue with my <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/tailscale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tailscale</span></a> + <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/mumble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mumble</span></a> server setup:</p><p>I have a murmur (mumble) server that binds to the tailscale interface on my server.</p><p>I have shared that endpoint with a friend and we're both connecting via tailscale to that mumble server to talk.</p><p>Every few minutes (3, 5, something like that), one of us gets reconnected. Mumble (client) says "Server failed to respond to TCP ping". On the server it says (murmur log): "Connection closed: The remote host closed the connection".</p><p>The tailscale log on the server says something like "adding connection to derp-* for ..." at that very moment of reconnecting.</p><p>How to debug this issue? I don't even know where to start. It looks like (to me, as a networking noob) that tailscale reconfigures connections and breaks the mumble connection.</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/followerpower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>followerpower</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/linuxadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linuxadmin</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/NetworkEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NetworkEngineering</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/networking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>networking</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/sysadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sysadmin</span></a> </p><p>CC <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@tailscale" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>tailscale</span></a></span> </p><p>Please boost :boost_ok:</p>
NerdRelaxo<p>Warum muss ich mich bei <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Tailscale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tailscale</span></a> jedes Mal neu anmelden, selbst wenn die App die ganze Zeit lief und ich nur disconnected war? Das nervt. Und vorallem funktioniert es erst wenn man dann auf Connect klickt, worauf eine Fehlermeldung kommt, das dieses Device ja schon autorisiert wäre. 🙄 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Macbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Macbook</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>macOS</span></a></p>

Curtis Carter<p>That PC I replaced a bit ago is on a network that is way out in rural Missouri.

I'm tempted to have tried tailscale's own transfer method, but it's 32Gb of files</p>

I switched from #zerotier to #tailscale . Was and still very Happy with #tailscale
Tries #netbird the last 6-8 month. I Like this Quantum resistent Thing with #rosenpass
But i have Problems with the connection between #Linux Mint and Linux from #HomeAssistant
IT still Shows IT IS connected but the other devices is not reachable.
And #netbird uses a lot of bandwith, even with only one devices running, so no connection to another devices, it uses about 5Gb in 24h.

So, presently, i stay with #tailscale , because it just works for me as an advanced beginner in network stuff.

now we get to the reason I use #tailscale (with my own headscale coordination box) ... I can tear my network apart, and power the pieces back on in a different configuration, and connect and start fixing/changing configs, without having to exert any brainpower.

brainpower can be a highly limited resource. Tailscale removes the need to re-understand and fix remote access, etc, on a device after pulling it out of role A to put in role B....

A Self-hosted, BSD-native Gemini Protocol Server Stack

For those who are adventurous enough to explore the non-http corners of the Internet, the Gemini protocol is a delightful experience to use. It has been around a number of years, making the biggest bang around the time when discontent with the web’s general demise started to reach current heights (so maybe around 2022).

My “capsule”, Vigilia, is self-hosted, and has been since its inception. It used to run on a disused Macbook Pro running Fedora Server, under our TV at home, but since […]
