In my world, very much not software development, the two roles would essentially be the same thing. What’s the difference for you?

Telstra in Australia were at one stage providing routers to homes with a hidden SSID for their premium ‘public’ wifi.

I think it was solidly isolated from the home wifi, and did not eat into the homes speed quota, but still…

…what?

The only way to win the game is to not play.

It sounds like you currently care more about the people at your job than your job itself. Perhaps you can tell yourself to flip that?

We are a reflection of the people around us. Maybe next time your colleagues are lazing around, instead of joining them and ignoring the work, you can join those two you admire and ignore the others?

Precisely- it’s a concept that is ingrained in people to the point where anyone who doesn’t understand it is viewed as lacking. However, it’s needless.

I don’t need to understand IP addressing subnet routing to go to a website. Why should I need to understand a file and folder structure to find an old tax document?

You use an interesting example- personally, I feel like while files and folders have their place, I prefer they be part of the background and not presented to the user. Take photos, for example. If I’m looking for pictures of my dog, I don’t want to go into the 2022 folder, then the August folder, then look through all those files, back out into 2022 then go into the September folder, etc. I just want to type ‘dog’. Or pick from a dropdown list of common tags, or anything other than digging through files and folders.

It’s no longer accessible from a desktop, only from the Google Maps app.

Agreed, but your point will usually be a lot better received if you aren’t a dick. SpaceX is a great example- it’s a great company, but the head of the company taints the whole thing they are trying to achieve.

It comes down to respect. Even if I’m wrong, treating me with respect will mean I’m more likely to respect you, and if I respect you I’m going to respect your argument.

You’re absolutely right, you absolute fuckwad, and well said, even if you are a shit eating waste of a human.

(Sorry I don’t mean it, I feel bad now…)

You’ve got good points, but your needless insults makes your argument fall on deaf ears.

The router is set as a subnet router, that is how I am able to access other machines on my lan remotely.

I don’t want to, and sometimes can’t, install tailscale on every device I want remote access to.

So I may have duplicate routes- Does that explain the behaviour in my original post? And how would I go about avoiding that?

I could turn off subnet routing, and only turn it on when needed, but I’ll be putting up a bunch of other services that will want to talk to each other- I’m assuming this will break whenever I turn subnet routing on.

I kind of follow what you’re putting down.

I am not using an exit node. How do I go about splitting my routes?

What I want to achieve is ‘normal’ access for within the lan, as well as remote access over tailscale for things I cannot run tailscale on.

I have a commercial VPN, but I am not connected. What tinkering did you have to do?

I set up subnet advertisements by doing tailscale set --advertise-routes=192.168.1.0/24. I did not touch ACL.

The home PC is Windows, the context menu for the tray app give the option to ‘use tailscale subnets’ which is enabled- I assume this is the equivalent of accepting advertised routes.

From the home PC, tailscale ping 192.168.1.2 returns a pong, from the tailscale IP. tracert fails.

Linux newb here. What does this mean? My knowledge of systemd is that it is responsible for things like mounting disks and running networking. So does this mean I can ask systemd to grab a new IP address every x hours, even if the machine is asleep?

You’ve got a shelf full of fifty boxes. Forty five of them are sold. You’ve got five people working in the store across three registers. You want to make sure that the people who ordered one get one, so you pre-allocate them by printing out all the orders and attaching them to the box.

The way I understand it, a physical asset is something you can see and touch, like a house or a hammer. There’s things that a share gives me that BTC does not, but ultimately they are more similar to each other than to something like a physical chunk of gold or a silo full of grain.

There is no physical company. I can’t eat Microsoft any more than I can eat a Bitcoin, as much as I might want to.

My response is similar, usually the good old ‘Do you shut the door when you shit?’.

When we start getting specific, I’ll often try and frame data harvesting in a much more visceral way. If they say they don’t care that xyz keeps track of everyone they talk to, I ask them to imagine an actual person standing behind them, making notes on a clipboard about every interaction they have with someone, and how that would make them feel.

Formula 1 races average about 200kph, with a top speed of 375. These are the best of the best professionally trained drivers in multimillion dollar equipment tailored to them and designed to keep them (and others) safe at those speeds.

300km/h on the highway is essentially suicide by stupidity, not to mention manslaughter for whoever you hit. You are travelling fast enough that you literally don’t have time to react to something several hundred metres in front of you.

150 is really fast, 200 is stupid fast, and 300 is really fucking stupid fast.
