Ah, the glorious denizens of Reddit have definitively informed me that Tailscale, which implements a virtual network, privately, is “not a VPN”.
Apparently there is an entire generation of users who think a VPN is a personal porn tunnel.

Had a look at the Reddit crypto forums last night because who doesn't love a bit of schadenscrolling. They're still neck deep in Kool Aid, all going, "buy the dip! buy the dip!"
Guys, the people you are "buying" from keep going to prison for doing a runner to the Caribbean with the money. The only thing you are buying is new yachts for scammers.
READ THE ROOM. You have been conned. It's not nice to be conned, I get it. A guy once conned me out of 10 quid in front of Kings Cross Station in the 90s and I felt shit about that.
But you have been. Right now, you are throwing good money after bad. You aren't starting from where you were before you threw all your savings at these crooks. You are starting from now, and you are falling for the sunk cost fallacy.
You aren't getting your money back. Quit while you're behind. I'm sorry.

There is one good use for cryptocurrencies - crime.
Which is the only reason I can conceive of that Bitcoin has risen all this year. After we destroy most of our ecosystem, Bitcoin will be seen by the survivors as one of the many signs of the collective mental illness of our society.

!Selfhosted I have an #OpenWRT router. Let’s say I install Tailscale on it and want to create an interface that specifically routes to one of my exit nodes. Can I do that?
Everything I’ve seen about Tailscale on OpenWRT just provides direct router access to the tailnet (100.x.x.x), but I specifically want to route certain traffic to an exit node.
Can I do this? Do me proud, Fediverse! Hoping I can get good answers here without resorting to Reddit.

I’ve done something similar, though not with openwrt. There may be a decent way to do this on the firewall, but I ended up using the ACLs available from the Tailscale console.
I removed the default allow all rule. I made a group called admins that can access everything and then added a set of routes that everyone on the tail net could access.
I’ve only recently set this up, but initial testing seems to have this working as hoped.
I'm not sure this hits the nail for you or not, but I recently solved a question I had regarding tailscale and routing traffic through an exitnode that was using a VPN. Could be worth a peek.
Solution was Docker and Gluetun ✨

Dark arts mastery: Created a Linux x86 VM on my M1 Pro MacBook Pro
Within that Linux VM, created a docker container of Ubuntu with some personalised stuff.
On that container, built another one with the OpenWRT builder for RPi 4
Used that docker container to build a new OpenWRT image
Booted it on a spare RPi 4 and restored the backup of my OpenWRT config to it.
Took my actual OpenWRT router down, inserted the flash card I'd just created, and powered it back up.
Everything. Worked.
If you roll your own router, it's useful to know that you can recreate it were it to go tits-up, and I can!

OpenWRT is useful (using it on two APs currently), but boy can networking and setting it up be an endless circle of confusion:(
Good luck!
Got a box for a router now, so it’s going to be pfSense or OpnSense for now. Hoping they will give me lots of good features.
But swapping over will be a bit of a nervous thing. But also why I need APs 😀
Also running on open software, because I don’t trust networking stuff anymore. Especially not the terrible ISPs:(
@Becky I'll also note that you can't bridge VMs on 2 different VLANs to the same physical ethernet port on UTM and if you try, neither will work.
I discovered this in the traditional manner.
(UTM on a different VLAN to the one the Mac is using natively is fine, this only applies to VMs)
Which is why my Mac Mini has TWO ethernet ports both connected now.

Reading about state of understanding of gluten-related disorders, as you do. As research currently stands, about 1-2% of the population are though to have coeliac disease (the majority never diagnosed), and up to 13% more non coeliac gluten sensitivity.
Both of these, through habitual gluten exposure in childhood, may be causing a whole array of life long inflammatory conditions such as asthma, allergies, chronic fatigue, psychiatric disorders, and others. Basically large numbers of people with chronic health problems who can’t get doctors to take them seriously are quite possibly suffering the effects of chronic gluten poisoning.
It boggles my mind that this bastard grass stuff has intruded so far into our societies that it has become the staple foodstuff for massive swathes of the planet, and yet is basically poisonous to 1 out of every 7 people.
I'm on the phone, so apologies that I can't easily link to things, but wasn't there some thinking that at least some percentage of that figure may not be gluten, but to do with modern industrial processes around wheat, Chorleywood Bread Process (CBP)?
Some people are absolutely gluten intolerant, and gluten sensitive, but at least a percentage that are sensitive may not be sensitive to wheat, but the processing of the wheat, and industrial baking processes.
This one interests me. And since I work in food purchasing, with a bunch of ex-chef and bakers, we've been nattering about it. It's anecdotal, but regular supermarket bread I find irritates me (I'm being polite here), but bread from our local microbakery (Lord that sounds pretentious), is absolutely fine. It never used to, it's something new over the past few years. The bread from the bakery also happens to be delicious, which is a nice benefit.
@kianryan ☑️🐙🏳️🌈 It’s an area where there’s considerable ongoing research, and AIUI about a decade ago the prevailing thought was that it was things like FODMAPs and amylase trypsin inhibitors in wheat causing issues.
But, AIUI, a lot of more recent research is finding direct, extra intestinal, innate immune activation specifically in response to gluten in people without any markers for coeliac disease.
Democrats as such can't do anything specifically to stop him. Some specific democrats (like Tish James or Fani Willis) can, & are. & the parts of the judiciary who'd allow it are Republican - we're well down the road to judiciary-capture in the US. At this point our Supreme Court is just John Edwards' sense of propriety away from endorsing one-party rule.

Just had to completely reinstall the OS on my Mac laptop because something in the OS got corrupt and it started going nuts.
Never had that before! Thankfully returning it to its previous state (well, one major OS back - it installed Ventura rather than Sonoma for some reason) was not too painful an experience. I guess I got to junk a load of cruft too.
Still, not how I'd planned to spend my evening.
i have spent a month trying to get my PC to boot off install media as it needed nuking to the bare metal.
USB. nope. DVD. Nope. Spent far too long beating PXE with a stick. Got every other device to work except the PC...
Then today it just...booted from the network...except ubuntu now didn't pick up the win10 install

Put my friendica installation on a VLAN. It made accessing it locally ... interesting.
So I can access it from outside. Fine.
But if I try to access it internally, the traffic just gets dropped. There's no firewall rule to handle the forward via external IP address loopback.
So I set up a forward, and of course, that was a stupid thing to do. Every other https service in the world suddenly and unceremoniously disappears.
So I change the forward to only be something looking to loopback via my external IP.
But the external IP is dynamic. The router will update the dyndns record, but it will not update its own firewall rule. I'd have to do it manually every time it changed. Very far from ideal.
But inspiration struck! I have my own DNS server! (pihole).
As of now, thegoatery.dyndns.org from within my internal network resolves to the IP address of the friendica box on the VLAN.
Done.

Right, not starting anything, but normal countries have a general election should their parliament serially fail to produce a functioning (at least in name) legislature.

Wifi 6 (892.12ax) is interesting because it seems, the more of its useful features you turn on, the more 2.4GHz-only WiFi 4 (892.11n) cheap shit just breaks.
So I’m maintaining a separate 802.11n SSID on the same gear just for said cheap shit.
Cheap shit that breaks on WiFi 6 seems to include:
Princess dehumidifier (cloud only, but it seems they all are, so they’ll likely eventually brick it)
Daikin AC units (local control without cloud, thank fuck)
Legrand Netatmo zigbee hub (again local control, thankfully, but dear god its WiFi support is flakey and power cycling if involves using the fuse box)
iRobot Roomba i3
Seriously, this shit all has the cheapest nastiest buggy cheap junk WiFi implementation and they should be ashamed.
Also, I wish the EU would get round to banning cloud-only appliances. You just know they’re gonna turn the cloud services off years before the useful end of the device, basically bricking it. Local API or GTFO.

Amidst the performative cries of “Israel has the right to defend itself”, it seems to be heresy to acknowledge the humanity of the few million people who get to live, in perpetuity, as Israel’s ritual punching bag, and are expected to do nothing in response, nothing in prevention, and accept the blame for others doing literally anything.
And even saying this will just result in tedious wankers going, “oh, you support terrorism then?”

No other connector does this to me. It’s just lightning cables that provide power, and only lightning. USB C doesn’t do it. The old iPod dock cables didn’t do it. It’s just lightning, and they will always do it.
