It’s impossible to escape the matrix.
But you can jump out of it for a brief moment to get a glimpse of elevated understanding.
And then back in, to do what you have to do.


Tailscale is what VPN should have been all along. Like Nostr is what PGP should have been all along.
P.S. I don’t understand networking or cryptography.
Truth seekers want to get to the bottom of who is really behind all the happenings in the world.
And when they finally find out, they will want to destroy them.
And when they destroy them, there will be a void to fill.
And it shall be filled by the truth seekers themselves.
And very few of them are spiritually and morally superior to the ones they dethroned.
And the cycle shall start anew.
Brute force is the commie way: we built this prison for you, and you can’t do anything about it.
Psychology is the “libertarian” way: here’s the prison we want built, we give you the freedom and liberty to build it according to your tastes.

Looking forward to community relay + specialized client appearing in the wild soon. Much cooler to have a social network for family or company than a WhatsApp group chat.

Believing in “We the people” is no different than believing in the rule of the proletariat. Utterly childish, surely unnatural.

The irony of these quotes and memes is that they are all commie propaganda: the people, the masses, the plebs, the workers have no agency of their own. They can’t “stand” or “wake up”. They must necessarily be moved by someone to do anything.

I still have irrational fear of heights (in open spaces).
I bungee-jumped into a mountain river. I sky-dived. None of that matters.
It appears to me that to truly get rid of irrational fear, you must be exposed to the fear factor on a regular basis.
I’m not going to sky-dive regularly as a hobby though, so I just have to live it it.
Fanaticism is the killer of reason.
“Bruh, you don’t need to post on Nostr every nuance that happens to you throughout the day.”
For some reason, Orion (@kagi) can’t connect to my #Tailscale devices (via IP or magic DNS) but Yandex Browser works flawlessly.

Can’t help but think government agencies are extremely happy that open-source developers build awesome things for them for free or, at least, through grants that they give out through their pet foundations.

In case you wondered 👇
Tailscale vs. Traditional VPNs
Tailscale reimagines VPNs by leveraging WireGuard’s speed and security while adding layers of usability and resilience that set it apart from legacy solutions. Here’s how it stands out:
1. Decentralized Architecture:
Unlike traditional VPNs (e.g., OpenVPN) that funnel traffic through centralized servers (hub-and-spoke), Tailscale creates a peer-to-peer mesh network. This eliminates bottlenecks, reduces latency, and removes single points of failure.
2. Zero-Config Simplicity:
Tailscale automates setup, NAT traversal, and key management. Users log in via SSO (Google, GitHub, etc.), bypassing manual certificate configurations required by protocols like IPsec or OpenVPN.
3. Built for Restrictive Networks:
If direct WireGuard connections are blocked, Tailscale seamlessly routes traffic through encrypted DERP relays over HTTPS, mimicking standard web traffic. Traditional VPNs often fail in such scenarios without complex workarounds.
4. Granular Access Control:
Tailscale adds an ACL layer atop WireGuard, enabling precise user/device permissions. Legacy VPNs typically grant broad network access, increasing security risks.
5. Scalability:
Tailscale’s mesh design scales effortlessly for distributed teams, while hub-and-spoke VPNs struggle with performance drops as user counts grow.
When to Choose Tailscale:
* Remote teams needing low-latency access
* Environments with strict firewalls/NAT
* Organizations prioritizing ease of use without sacrificing security
Traditional VPNs Still Fit:
* Static, on-premises setups with minimal remote users
* Scenarios requiring full control over server infrastructure
In essence, Tailscale modernizes secure networking by combining WireGuard’s efficiency with enterprise-grade management—ideal for today’s dynamic, decentralized workflows.
