Waiting for someone to bring Tailscale to deeply embedded devices - already seeing Wireguard showing up in microcontrollers! docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/sampl...

That's certainly one way to have corp network boots for new hires.

has science gone too far?

Forgive my ignorance but what's the usecase here?

If you have a server or laptop that has full drive encryption and you want to remotely reboot it, the Tailscale connection allows you to remotely enter the decryption key.

what laptop is thaat looks cool

... also now: Tailscale running on UEFI on AWS EC2. No kernel. No OS. (Tamago) Had to port AWS ENA drivers to Go (from FreeBSD, DPDK, Amazon spec) Also fun: it's using UEFI variables as its ipn.StateStore, so you can reboot the instance and it's still logged in. This was a PITA even with AI.

Do you think that, in the age of AI, using technologies like Tamago can help minimize vulnerability attacks?

Another one for Tailscale Hack Week: I got Go ported to Redox OS (www.redox-os.org), enough to run Tailscale inside it. i.e. GOOS=redox GOARCH=amd64 Go std tests exposed a Redox libc bug with unsafe Rust, too. And a kernel crash.

Surely this should be done with tailscale-rs 🤪

And while I was doing operating systems whose names match /^R.*OS$/ .... Tailscale on ReactOS! (reactos.org) It's like an open source Windows XP. Go toolchain + std require Win10+, and ReactOS is pre-Win7, so Go needed changes. Then ran a tsnet server on it, serving its own screenshot:

So what's next? tailscale on mainframe or better on a fridge so that you can check your fridge while being in the supermarket?
