  • Does being intolerant of intolerance actually work though

    Well it seems to “work” in that they will be isolated, but id argue it also is counter productive because it helps them grow their isolated communities by playing the victim. However it is probably less counterproductive then trying to engage with them, which is both pointless and a waste of time.






  • Why is it not mounted on the host/cointainer? I dont think you are using jellyfin “wrong” but its not like you cant just configure a mount point if you wanted to use jellyfin with it.

    That is an interesting thing to point out though, im not actually sure but i think they used to support smb shares directly, i might just be thinking of kodi though.


  • I think ACL is a paid feature with TS, but maybe im wrong. Once you get to the paid tier, you are just paying someone else to manage your VPN, which is fair enough but its not something you could’t also pay someone to do with wireguard (or openVPN for that matter). I think its fair to say “I pay for this service because i don’t want to have to deal with configuring it myself”, it might be easier to setup for some use cases, but if someone is already self-hosting things and has a DIY attitude to it, I don’t think tailscale can do anything wireguard can’t also do (it is based on WG afterall)

    Maybe I’m not familiar enough with other kinds of setups to think of things though. My wireguard setup is basically a meshnet between several people’s home servers, each person has their own subnet only they can use, but the wider 10.X.X.X is shared by everyone, its certainly not the most secure because it doesnt need to be, but if i wanted to restrict one persons access to something i certainly could do that.



  • I’m curious what kind of a use case you can think of that “traditional wireguard” can’t replace tailscale for.

    Tailscale has a maximum of 3 users on their free tier, so it seems like a super limited use case of people who DIY their own servers for Jellyfin or HomAssistant or whatever, but just a tad too lazy to setup their own Wireguard service in addition to whatever it is they’d be using it for… I think the vast majority of free tailscale users have simply never actually tried wg-easy , because if they did they wouldnt need to use a third party service.



  • I was in middle school during 9-11-2001, and around that time there was an anthrax mailing attack too.

    I was late to class one time and my late pass had a bunch of chalk dust on it, the teacher i handed it to asked what the powder was on it… Being a smart ass i said something along the lines of “it might be anthrax, better be careful”…they took it as a threat i guess because the next day i was suspended.

    We moved and i was in a new city and state the next year. One day at my new school i made pretty much the same exact “joke” and it resulted in another suspension.







  • There is a way to request it by mail, the phone thing is just a quicker way for them to verify you are who you say you are because they ALREADY know all the information, they just want to make sure YOU know the right phone number. If you use the wrong number they might give you an alternative option, or it will eventually tell you the only option is by US mail.

    Pretty much anyone who has your phone number can use that information to look you up in a database, experian just spells it out because they get hacked so often its a liability for them to store any information at all, In a normal functioning society such a company would fail and never be taken seriously, but in capitalist america they get to decide if you’re worth lending money to, WHAT A COUNTRY!!!
