An engineer passionate about JS and basic tech freedoms (e.g. right to repair, OSS, net neutrality).

I think the web with all its shortcomings is the best thing to happen to tech industry and I want it to succeed. That does NOT mean it should be used for everything.

Doing just fine calling most of the american insanity for what it is. Beating apple and the likes into submission and making them produce actually somewhat good products.

Because wireguard to tailscale is like git to git GUIs. It's solid base but never should be used separately without a proper wrapper if one wants to keep one's sanity.

I can understand why that happened at least remotely. If you do all those things they refused 'officially', it might be easier for stupid government idiots to paint it as a dangerous illegal tool.

Adding the necessary hardware while refusing to support arbitrarily iLLegAl things is the best of both worlds.

Its not only intimidating, its clunky and error-prone. That's the answer to OP's question, this podman thing does not have good UX story.

you're stealing from the open internet, the best case punishment you should hope for is that these gains are socialized back

Then don't use it. Just don't presume to tell me if I can or can't.

Absolutely not, there are plenty of use-cases for them. https://www.npmjs.com/package/patch-package comes to mind off the top of my head.

Hopefully current hysteria will not result in some bs decisions like this.
