Some time back I rigged up a WireGuard-to-Tailscale proxy but it was a Rube Goldberg machine and fell apart and was hard to run. This weekend @maisem_ali and I "polished" it up into a standalone Go binary: https://t.co/lsWIVRLyWI Still rough, but fun. Good weekend distraction.

When the Internet began, people thought connecting everyone together, sharing information freely, and injecting a healthy dose of anarchism would lead to a strong, healthy society. Not really how it...

There's my dad's KF initials near the middle! 🤓
Chip designers often puts their initial on a die. The 386, though, has many initials. I zoomed in on the initials, which seem to be next to the functional unit that person worked on. I couldn't identify most of the people, but "SEC" is head mask designer Shirley Carter. 3/9

I haven’t been as present covering the Kings lately — not from disinterest, but because I’ve been pouring my energy into something that feels like the foundation of everything I care about. While I rarely talk politics online, I’ve quietly built my path in international

QUIC usage in the data center propelled UDP segmentation and receive offload support in to the Linux kernel. These offloads are also applicable for WireGuard, and we used them to enable Tailscale to surpass 10Gb/s on Linux. I wrote more details here - https://t.co/bVaK6MrkJD.

This is so dope 😍 A userland tcp/ip stack in #golang. `go build -buildmode=c-archive` Now you have a userland tcp/ip stack in C. @Tailscale never disappoint.

New @Tailscale thing...
When you use Tailscale, we can't see your traffic - but we are responsible for distributing the public keys for your tailnet. What if we maliciously added new nodes to your network? With tailnet lock, you don't have to trust us.

Fun work by @jordanwhited and @raggi on making WireGuard-go (and thus @Tailscale) in userspace faster by using some rarely-used Linux kernel interfaces... 🎉🚀🔥 https://t.co/svHctkUs4Y

If you decide to move from Twitter to Mastodon, I encourage you to not use the https://t.co/Ptp1POCRFN server. The whole point of Mastodon is federation. If most end up on the same server, we are back to square 1 regarding centralization. Pick a server at

No SLA promise but I'll do my best, to the extent it's under my control. If I ever leave https://t.co/KbZbBxryYA and run it myself/elsewhere, I'll make sure it's run halfway competently. So far https://t.co/KbZbBxryYA seems good.
