Looking forward to hearing Tailscale getting forced to do age verification and banning use of this to people under 16 years old in Australia under their new social media rules...
Don't worry, VPNs are next in line to be banned anyway due to their big evasion potential of all this age verification nonsense
ps just as I wrote this the English had to prove my point: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46294780
Ssh and ssl/tls without licence will be next :)
Things like this make me wish there was a sort of public version of Tailscale where everyone got a routable IP address to everyone else no matter what kind of firewall they were behind. Like the old days of the internet, I guess.
https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/ for the most part enables this - otherwise I2P and Tor for the most part facilitate this with the bonus encryption element.
We might one day have it natively with ipv6 adoption increasing.
I think Tailscale shares is what we currently are supposed to use?
You share some "semi-public" host with all of your friends...
And then you're not necessarily chatting with famous people, but you can have a near-and-dear-social network of people you actually know...

I'm gonna need an app for that . No, I just tried it. Works as advertised. Thank you for the dockerfile. Using putty, the formatting is messed up.on the banner/help. Must be some dynamic end of line thing. Still works so.
This is great, I've been looking for an easy to use local chat app for me and my kids, and Adium on Bonjour has been flaky with my VLAN setup at home. Will have to give this a try...
this reminds me of gopher chats
Enough with the tailscale spam
