It’s sad that people who don’t know what it’s like will probably disagree with you, and to be honest I do not have a entirely better solution as it feels like it requires positive intent not specific stipulations (Russia and North Korea for example take it to the other side of the extreme). The width and depth of the human experience remains one of it’s worst characteristics. 🫠

That’s literally how any update on a computer ever will work. Real downsides worth mentioning would be like “you’ll be unbootable, you can’t rollback, it’ll update a bunch of other packages, it might delete user home”. Having to select an old entry in your grub config at boot because the new kernel doesn’t play nice with any number of custom peripherals or packages on your system is not what I would consider a serious downside and you’d have to do it if Kubuntu decided to roll a kernel update anyway. Do you uh, use linux?

Have you tried moving to a newer kernel? It should be working with Nvidia latest and KDE latest (Mine is solid on CachyOS) so it could be a kernel bug for you. No real downside to installing a newer one; but depending on your setup there could be a few regressions that might force you back to stable.

The technology to disguise a robot as an insect currently exists. Do you give thought and inspection to every fly that passes by?

Pipewire is my goat

😤 I’m upset I never thought about it this way till now.

I don’t know if it’s on the icon, I believe you have to use the cli “tailscale status” to view your tailnet nodes connection types

Is it possible you misconfigured your tailnet and instead of using a direct connection to your local subnet router you were using an ethereal port via a DERP relay? You can read into it more on tailscales documentation, but essentially you need to leave UPD inbound port 41641 open to your subnet router inbound from WAN.

Tailscale, headscale, or something along those lines may help optimize the route but as others have said to resolve this is an actual fashion you’d need a cdn which requires significant geo-redundant hardware which comes at a pretty significant cost. That being said I think your friend has a good shot if you implement the former.

Fair enough. I just operate under the assumption deleted means deleted, I’d never toss Auth keys in userspace but I could absolutely see myself placing them temporarily in scripts I’d delete later.

Honestly this should be treated as a security vulnerability as well as a general bug, no?

And definitely!

Since you clearly plan on keeping this equipment for the long-term, you may be better served by a newer lower power option that will likely be more performant for less long term cost.

Bringing non-disposable technology to China is a mistake in most circumstances.

Zero tier. I went tailscale originally, and they’re good, but their mdns support doesn’t exist and several services rely on it. (For me, the showstopper was time machine backups)

It lives on in the halls of financial mainframes, next to his uncle Cobal.

Fair, I was trying to be cheeky and here you are shutting me up with a compiler level “nope”. Take your +1.

Are you sure? From what I can tell there’s a 5 in 6 chance of catastrophic failure.

About to be 6.0000001% when my Kubuntu download finishes. I’m finally taking the dive boys, linux on main here we go.

Could be the first unfounded customer complaint. I keep a printout of particularly “special” user tickets in my office. Some of the stuff end users and customers expect, or say, is absolutely insane and worthy of display.
