Glad to see the desktop app and after did some research seems its like rex and with some once feature and it even have a Win98 easter egg if you can find it:)

Currently I am not switch to it because I just have my own app talk to the herdr daemon via my apps builtin tailscale and it works great

As a indie hacker(viber :) ) built mutiple tailscale based stuffs dated to the early days of tailscale, I like it but actually I do agree with you

There are too much features added now, perhaps some related to enterprise features because that must drive the revenue

Sometimes I am thiking perhaps they provide a light tailscale version but that seems not viable given the complexity now, headscale is great, but the OSS client still have plenty features, though they are gradually added feature based switch in the client source which I think is great, perhaps we can build a light version over it

This is also I do not think the tailscale-rs(which aim to rewrite tailscale with rust) will not be ready in a short time because too much (feature + cross platform) need to be tested

Video 3 get a root shell agains 27.0.1 which is the latest iOS version installed on my lovely se3.

This really blown my mind, and seem the 1/2 video is installed a app by click pdf link?

I guess and hope there will be update from apple quickly

Haha, this is quite interesting to test if you need to update various of program (if they do not use the sys ca chain)

Why you want to do this on mobile or end device? If all the node is controlled by yourself I guess srv6 is indeed okay to use

But for ordinary user and mobile, and given the jitter of wireless network, seems it may cause unnecessary changes

But overall this is a neat project combine of technology I was fiddling and enjoy

Like the points in this presentation, recently I kept thinking it seems I need find the joy of fiddling and learning, not build some thing for money but for fun only.

Have been used some spare time to learn common lisp and write a manual project, still use web based AI as a quick search method.

But I managed to learn some common lisp and how to do cffi in common lisp and

- use gtk4 cffi binding to start a GUI app - write a ghostty cffi to encode/decode terminal escape sequences - write a libssh2 cffi to communicate with a ssh server

Hope I can build a minimal SSH Terminal using common lisp to keep on experiment and exploration

On iOS platform, it's only limited to apple's browser engine, with chrome I get long time of various bookmarks saved/synced and send page to various devices(not limited to apple ecosystem), those benefits still not give strong reason to let me switch to safari

One thing I do not like is no native dark mode on chrome, but that's okay, I just do not use phone when I preparing to sleep

For the adblock/tracker issue, recently just added builtin DNS-based adblock (backed by several public block list) to my VPN app, it seems works well, given same engine and same network filtered by the same VPN, i guess they are same to me

Seems aws also announced a sandbox solution

I used agent over 1 year and basically always give codex full permission on each thread, do not get issue so far

Why we need this layer of complexity? Or its mainly for big company that need control ?

The networking stack is actually used by many open source project such as tailscale

Hope this shift will make the project get sustainable and evolve fast

This is a bit scary, this means they can even see the content of user's mail given the browser does not do any pin cert on the linux.

I added a rule on my agents.md for the design part, I never like any UI element that styling have a bg and slightly dark version of same color used by the bg because it's really made me mad and seems get being used by Agent

This coincidently the first picture in this article by cloudflare

perhaps this is the most easy to use networking product that ever shipped, but given ngrok did this many years before, maybe they just think for the agentic era? though one must take care for the authentification

I also think it seems cloudflare enter into a stage keep adding products and make the portal looks like a maze to get more advanced features configured

Do you still remember cloudflare mesh and use and stick to it?

Recently I start to do some hobby project by learning Common Lisp to understand more about the libraries I used on app

I read the document and sometimes use LLM as a quick search engine because I am tired of every query on google that use AI to summarize

The project goes slowly but seems the basics I grasped over the years help a lot

So perhaps it still worth to learn by hand with trial and fail

I agreed with the author that one must learn deep above the abstraction and I truely think programming still a thing even the agentic coding is getting powerful
