There's a lot of ready-made software that fills that gap, but sometimes none of it quite works how I want it to.

My immediate reaction was instead to suggest an obnoxious string-based representation of a unix timestamp: “one second after one second after one second after … midnight on January 1st 1970”.

I wanted to talk a bit about how I use it, some cool features you might not know about, and some stumbling blocks I encountered. I’m not sure Tailscale needs an introduction for the likely audience of this blog, but I’ll give one anyway. Tailscale is basically a WireGuard1 orchestration service, with lots of nice features sprinkled on top. It’s a subscription product, but it has an insanely generous free tier that covers basically anything you’d ever want to do as an individual.

I didn’t want to bog down the other posts with it, and I wanted some time to think over the issues. Now I’ve had time to think, it’s time to remove my head from the sand. There are a lot of different angles to consider, and a lot of it is more nuanced than is often presented. It’s not all doom and gloom, and it’s also not the most amazing thing since sliced bread.

It is almost entirely irrelevant to the article. Enjoy. I presume everyone is familiar with the idiom “if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail”. If not, well, there it is. It’s generally used pejoratively about being single-minded, but I think it also gives a glimpse into something more interesting: mental and perceptual sets. Before I explain, let me tell you a story about a person who bought a 3D printer1. When they were first thinking about getting one, they weren’t sure if it was worth it.
