Tailscale can act as a site to site vpn, but it’s best used as a meshvpn imo with as many things as possible in it.

Why? Because the dynamic dns is so powerful. Every host name automatically is in every other tailscale joined computer automatically. My NAS (Truenas in my case) is just “nas” so to access it it’s just https://nas. Same with my rustdesk server on https://rustdesk. Jellyfin? You guessed it: https://jellyfin.

Why is this cool? I moved my box between other networks and it just works again. No ips changed.

I take it to work. It just works. I keep one server at my parents place? It just works.

But my printer doesn’t have the ability to join the tailnet so I use subnet routing to create a node on that network to act as a NAT router to get to and from that printer.

You can even define exit nodes so if I install tailscale on my parents TV in another state, they can exit their internet via my home which has my IP and therefore Netflix counts it as inside my residence.

Anyway just some considerations. I generally use the subnet routing as a last resort. My 3 node proxmox cluster is all joined and if I took a node to my parents it would literally just work, if slower, as a cluster member. Crazy. Very cool

But if I request it there, after its federated everywhere, what happens?

The guy said brute force but meant credential stuffing.

Basically using an army of remote compromised devices to use known user name password combinations. If they used the same email and password that was found on another compromise, then their account would successfully be logged in first try from a unique ip each time.

Not to boast MS, but its service life is longer than Linux at 10 years. Lts on Linux is generally at best 8. Ltsc on Windows is much longer. Windows 10 released on 2015 and the ltsc ends at 2027 on the enterprise channel, or 2025 for the consumer general availability.

I’m only commenting because I dislike misinformation more than I dislike MS.

Yes but also no, but also yes. Here’s why:

• yes: most people don’t use cabled headphones
• no: high quality headphones require a jack
• yes: those high quality headphones need amplifiers beyond what the phones inbuilt dac can handle

So I’d probably overall argue that those who really care about audio probably have a separate DAC like https://www.techradar.com/audio/hi-fi/ifi-hip-dac-3-review

Which is probably an unpopular opinion.

Seems like my Samsung TV app is being hit by stuff too, I had 5 unskippable ads and can’t seem to get stable 1080p at 60fps any more despite gigabit fibre and cat6. Meanwhile getting 4k on my YouTube app on Android on WiFi.

Go figure.

YouTube is so desperate to fight this war that they’re harming legitimate watchers meanwhile my rockpi running Android TV seems to keep running sTube just fine.

That will stop billing but not remove your personal data from the providers database. Worse if your account then gets banned dispute resolution will be harder.
