Why not ZeroTier?

Tailscale has a higher quality application, codebase and backbone, and also more generous free-plan limits.

ZeroTier is FOSS. I can't imagine a reason to use tailscale. If you claim tailscale has a better free model then ZeroTier I take it you run windows.

ZeroTier free: up to 10 devices total

Tailscale free: up to 6 users, each with unlimited devices (used to be 3 users)

I use Tailscale because it's professionally supported and better implemented. It has a much smoother UX compared to ZeroTier. It's also been profesionally audited, while ZeroTier has only sworn since 2020 that it'll totally be audited at some point after 2.0. ZeroTier may be a smaller target, but that also means it has less of a track record.

Also, I don't use Windows, but I don't see how that'd have anything to do with this.

Loving all the dead links in the apparently hallucinated article

In Australia it's extremely difficult to get attorney fees covered.

That is not true at all. There is an extremely well established principle in English common law jurisdictions, including Australia that “the successful party is generally entitled to his or her costs by way of indemnity against the expense of litigation that should not, in justice, have been visited upon that party.”[1]

I think here in Argentina, you recover "all" the cost but at the official rate that is less than the real rate of the lawyers.

Hongkong is very similar. The "official rates" are so pathetically low, it is like being tossed pocket change after a victory.

What!? Costs awards are the usual practice in Australian civil litigation.

and worse, even when they are "covered", the cost assessing process does not remotely cover most of your legal costs.

8 gpus is cheap now?

Well... that's a tricky one. I bought a lot of these second hand. I can sell them for more than they originally cost new, so indeed, it is not 'cheap'.

Then again, I run a business and for the business it is absolutely manageable, it is roughly the price of a single job. Privately this would be a different matter but I assume that if you would do this privately you'd simply get a single (but powerful) GPU second hand and offload to RAM. Not as fast but with llama.cpp, 'ninfer', DwarfStar and various other clones of those two you can get some pretty decent performance out of single GPUs.

I've been buying powerful hardware since the 90's, starting with SGI and then ever larger Linux boxes. I make my living with them so it's never been a huge decision to invest some of the proceeds back into the tools. But on an absolute scale, yes, it is a lot of money.

I did high level IT and general org management for 8 years without a single opportunity to see the office or people in person, before covid. Doesn't make it easy to manage a global team for sure.

Since when was javascript memory safe

Since it was created.

Why is it we didn't rewrite coreutils in js a decade ago instead of waiting for rust

Because it’s a high-level interpreted language. Still memory-safe!

Rust is interesting because it’s a low-level language with strong memory safety. That makes it a good fit for projects like coreutils. I’d argue it makes it a bad fit for many other projects that get rewritten in it, though. Not everything actually needs to be in a low-level language with compile-time memory management.

There is a Stalin quote to this effect

Correct. The default Wikipedia mobile app has this as well.

Have you used a printer

I don't trust it, that's for sure
