Sprint and Marathon (@techaltar.bsky.social youtu.be/TjxKu_WQoBU). It feels like the learnings were shaped by Wireguard, core design. What I'd like addressed, in the marathon, — Taildrop working with ACL tags; allowing multiple passkeys on account (for same-user features). #5yearsofTailscale

Today I have to constantly reauthenticate my primary device (to clear tags for Taildrop), and login.tailscale.com to re-add them (for everything else). I wish it sent a notification (for first file in series), 'click here to recv', so I don't have to find-switch apps, select all, share to app.

It wouldn't solve my use-case for it, as my src-dst on the laptop are impromptu directories. Most often, I aggressively¹ archive multi-file named collections out of forScore, creating and recv a folder each on the Linux side + sanity check for corrupted exports (forScore fault, about every 15-20).

¹ Due to arbitrary backup limits of iOS — I can't provide my own storage backend. It could, however, replace one of my uses for Nextcloud (bug king of any app I've used, for 10 years): 1) Accessing remote files. Certain directories read-only, others read-write (may overlap with bind mounts).

2) Uploading forScore backup archives of the current library (1.4G-2.1G). I've gotten used to distrust transfers via the Files app. WebDAV, Google Drive, and Nextcloud all (when handling multiple files (5+) of 5-10M or large (150M+)):
