So tailscale client, the apps you actually download are open source. What's not open source is the server side code.
Because the interface of tailscale is publicly known and available, someone went and made an open source server side version compatible with tailscale clients.
What's tail scale?
It's an easy to use VPN. I can expose just my server to the vpn and my community can easily gain access.
Started my transition 2021 (holy fuck that was a long time ago?!)
There is no right answer, nor does your answer have to stay the same.
There's a lot of processing that comes with this. I wouldn't recommend burning photos, but maybe putting them in a box where you no longer remember they exist.
I started wanting to burn it all, but I find myself wanting to show that pretransition me live, rather that disgust now days. It's still me, it's still made me who I am, but just like I'm no longer 14 year old me either, I'm no longer that person.
The risk of taking down large portions of the internet has the same risks as a vacuum? Interesting.
Your right not every device has parts availability. But again, why not? Because it it'll cost more?
Your willing to risk tanking the digital economy for what has historically been huge sums of money, because we don't hold vacuum cleaners to higher standards?
I'm being obtuse, but you keep pointing to "well we don't fix that problem over there, so we shouldn't do it over here". It doesn't sway me. We should absolutely fix repability of ALL ELECRONTICS AND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
We do take cars that fail safety inspections off the road. You are correct, we don't hold them to higher standards, but that's not a reason why we also shouldn't remove genuine hazards off the roads.
If a car is far more likely to kill someone, it shouldn't be on public roads either. Just like devices that can't be update don't belong on public nets. The risk to the broader public is to big IMO.
You think spare parts don't cost money? Wearhouse space is expensive. Massive part stores have to be made. That's all expense needed to take on by auto manufacturers. Why would software be different?
Either that or they keep all the tooling, which again is expensive. And people need to know how to use the tooling too.
This isn't a "it'd be nice" kind of patch. This is exactly how we get massive bot nets for DDOS attacks. Devices become vulnerable, scans go out on the internet looking for devices they can exploit, and when they do, they gather bot nets.
It's also not creating something new. It's fixing your shit. They don't have to create the entire software stack from scratch, just fix the exploit. If they can't reasonably do that, then these devices need to be taken offline.
This is why a number of countries have laws saying spare parts must be made available for a number of years past being sold. Well beyond what the warranty is.
When it comes to iPhones, it's not a shouldn't, it's a can't.
The way iOS limits background process means you can't. I develop for iOS apps for a living.
There's still you should never under any circumstances allow unsupported devices to be exposed to the internet or any way. Because that's how we get bot nets causing DDOS attacks.
