I got a very comfortable, free #Tailscale t-shirt in the mail the other day and I am definitely wearing it like some sort of chump. I'd take a picture but I'm too busy eating doughnuts and no one wants to see that. Anyway, thanks Tailscale developer relations for being cool.
Set up an annual 'pro' subscription to #NextDNS! It's made browsing the Web on my phone/tablet /significantly/ less disgusting for the last ~3 weeks or so.
So far I've ended up using it via #Tailscale and just having the latter autoconnect on all my (human-facing) devices. Access to my home server + no-fuss NextDNS regardless of where I am at the moment, is worth the mild battery hit.
Question for the #tailscale fans:
Say I have a bunch of services running on my NAS on various ports, is it possible to use a reverse proxy to have them accessible as via a subdomain without specifiying a port?
e.g. subdomain.shortdomain.taila111a.ts.net maps to shortdomain:5000 ?
Taking your Apple TV to another country and running TailScale on it works like a dream. As far as the AppleTv apps are concerned, they’re still in Washington State.
Caveats.
I tried using the (wired) Apple TV at home as the exit node and performance was a bit fuzzy (on a 4K tv). I didn’t try again, I just changed my exit node to my Synology at home and it’s been crystal clear.
Once you’ve turned on the exit node, restart the Apple TV. Some apps may have already run and they don’t check their location after startup (I mean, why would they?).

I'm kind of surprised – after hearing how easy it is supposed to be – my initial run at Tailscale has fallen flat. I can see that it is supposed to be working. Will try some other devices later today.
Got tailscale working on the Mac mini today in attempt No. 2. No big deal. But if you want it running as a service I'd avoid Homebrew and install the open source version mentioned in the docs: https://tailscale.com/kb/1065/macos-variants
I was dealing with coreaudiod taking an entire CPU core or even more, for more than a year. Turns out it was Google Remote Desktop, even with no active connections. Removed, replaced with the built-in #Mac Screen Sharing connecting via #Tailscale.
Those using TailScale on Linux or Windows may wish to ensure that they are running the latest version.
On Windows before Tailscale version 1.52 and on Linux before Tailscale 1.54, the tailscale serve and tailscale funnel features allowed users to serve the contents of directories that their user account could not access, but which the tailscaled service process could.
I'm still mulling over my #home#networking project of connecting three buildings. Currently two of the buildings are connected with a #tplink bridge but I'm not happy with the weird subnetting.
Anyone have strong opinions on equipment if starting fresh? I'm considering #ubiquity gear as I've used it with some success in the past. Also considering #opnsense or #pfsense for the routers.
I could, in theory, bury a cable for it but that's real effort so I'm going wireless.
In the interim, I'm seriously considering #tailscale but I still can't bring myself to trust them. Plus it seems silly to have that local traffic go all the way out to the Internet and back around again.
I should also note that only two of the buildings have an ISP connection (and they're separate). The bridge is necessary for the third building's access.
@hobbsc if it’s reachable via local LAN only the first few packets go over the internet, the rest will be handled via a direct connection.
I’m using #tailscale in my local network too, it’s so convenient to have no distinction between being at home or sitting halfway round the world and still just connecting to my home server.
and yes i am still wildly passionately in love with #tailscale and need to find a handle for them in federated space. still like #zerotier! but tailscale on #tvOS is a killer app.
sidebar: #proxmox's kernel is spamming errors in the #E1000 driver code so i need to find a half-height 10Gbps ethernet adapter or two. sigh.
@ironicbadger oh great all hail the fediverse lazyfedi chain! so happy to meet @tailscale and by the way, i think it's super cool that in the "applications vs protocols" meter tailscale pegs the needle on both. so whynotboth.gif to you and yours! i haven't stopped talking about tailscale for the last couple of weeks and i should mention i heard about you on the "Self Hosted" podcast (had to look up which one, the episode about a german colo and Plex talked appletv+subnetting)
I originally set up my Tailnet via GitHub. Anyone at @tailscale know how I could convert it to a custom domain? I want to add my wife as a user (we're the only two users on our domain to begin with) so her phone can access my NextCloud server.
