And a bug in a dependency you can fix easily. One in the runtime is much harder to fix and you then must compile new versions.

When you disable that, its also disabled for sudo operations when unlocked. it basically disables TouchID completely.

I would love to have a mode that I must use my long password to unlock my mac for security purposes. But when unlocked, use touchid as an alternative to my password for convenience.

So just the normal TouchID mode but not for unlocking the mac.

Oh there will be a lot of issues in the future because Germany says thst your company is in Germany because you work from there. So you have to do taxes in Estonia and in Germany. And prepare for a lot of tax issues if you dont have a good tax advisor.

I do understand why all these steps are required. And they are good. But how should zero-trust architecture solve that? You‘re still authenticated what the core problem is.

When you have a custom domain you can list @mydomain.com as sending domain allowing you every string before the at character. So that means you could use 50 different domains with infinite adresses on these domains.

The doomsday saying the past months that everyone will now vibecode a solution instead of paying for SaaS as a big logic error… These people could have switched to self-hosting an open source clone of any popular SaaS but they didn‘t! Why? Because they dont want to be the person maintaining this, so we should those people not self-hosting a free software now go one step further and also build those products?

The reverse. Argo gives better peering than any paid plan. Its the reason for the product‘s existence. They can use more costly peering that they couldn‘t use with their free egress model.

Can you share some anecdotes?

You don‘t have to get the Pro plan to solve the Deutsche Telekom issues. You can also use their Argo product for $5/month - but only makes sense if your egress costs wouldn‘t exceed the pro plans pricing.

The reason for that is that all nodes talk p2p to each other. There is no central communication server like with many other vpn solutions. So even if Tailscale would go down for days you won't have any downtime between your nodes.

I believe they try to indirectly say they are using SerpApi or a similar product that scrapes Google search results to use them. And other big ones use it too so it must be ok...

That must be the reason why they limit the searches you can do in the starter plan. Every SerpApi call costs money.

In my experience you wait for the next two major PG release. When its actively maintained they support them fast. If not, you see by them that it is abandoned…

Its not 100% nodejs compatible. I see enough non-green dots in their own official report https://bun.com/docs/runtime/nodejs-compat

And even in packages with full support you can find many github issues that bun behaves directly which leads to some bugs.

He is not clueless. He is just pushing a batshit crazy narrative because they are invested in tons of vibe coding startups.

Its not one IP to block. Its thousands! And they're also scatter through different ip networks so no simple cidr block is possible. Oh, and just for the fun, when you block their datacenter ips they switch to hundreds of residential network ips.

Yes, they are really hard to block. In the end I switched to Cloudflare to just so they can handle this mess.
