For such a useful tool, Tailscale are bizarrely quiet about `tailscale file`.
`tailscale file cp filename.ext machine:` - on macOS, file lands in the target machine's Downloads folder.
No faff. No public keys. Whoosh pop.
And don't get me started about `tailscale serve` and `tailscale funnel`.

I’ve read most of this article, then closed it after realizing that every person on every side of the issue will think it supports their view
If you believe either that Franklin discovered the double helix, and / or Watson and Crick stole her data, ask yourself how you know this. Then take a read of this article.
If I see one more stupid Rosalind Franklin take I'm going to lose my mind. Thank god for @matthewcobb.bsky.social and @nccomfort.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

More sweet sweet fine tuning as the week continues. Now, your GitHub Actions can join your tailnet without needing authkeys at all. If you trust GitHub, we trust GitHub.
Workload identity federation allows infrastructure and CI/CD systems to authenticate themselves inside your Tailscale tailnet, using your trusted identity provider—no secrets or keys needed.

This one is *extremely* exciting. Ever considered deploying your own DERP servers but it sounded like a fiddly error-prone nightmare? Don't do it! Peer Relays are non-fiddly, non-error prone, and a huge improvement when you have tricky routing problems.
Okay, one more this morning: Tailscale Peer Relays.
Make any node on your tailnet a high-throughput, traffic-relaying tool. Great in cloud infrastructure or strict firewalls. Read more: tailscale.com/blog/peer-re...
Our webinar (1pm EDT, 10/30) covers this, and more: tailscale.com/events-webin...

Everybody's so excited about forcing HTTPS, and I'm just here thinking, sure would be cool if all my private servers didn't have their names unavoidably published in the public CT logs so everyone can see what I'm doing. Also if localhost could get a cert at all
It's time to make HTTPS the web's default, and reap the full security benefit from years worth of HTTPS adoption!

Flamewars used to take days! A totally different experience.
One weird thing having grown up as the Internet developed (I was born in 1982) is that I can't tell if it's actually become a more anxious experience to be a user, or if I just became an older, more anxious person?
