You Can't Follow Me
The author mentions difficulties with HTTPS and trying stuff locally.
I've had some success with mkcert [1] to easily create certificates trusted by browsers, I can suggest to look into this. You are your own root CA, I think it can work without an internet connection.

10 reasons you should quit your HTTP client
Well, Certifi does not ship with your company's certificates! So requesting internal services may come with additional painful extra steps! Also for a local development environment that uses mkcert for example!

Show HN: Anchor – developer-friendly private CAs for internal TLS
My project, getlocalcert.net[1] may be the one you're thinking of.
Since I'm also building in this space, I'll give my perspective. Local certificate generation is complicated. If you spend the time, you can figure it out, but it's begging for a simpler solution. You can use tools like mkcert[2] for anything that's local to your machine. However, if you're already using ACME in production, maybe you'd prefer to use ACME locally? I think that's what Anchor offers, a unified approach.
There's a couple references in the Anchor blog about solving the distribution problem by building better tooling[3]. I'm eager to learn more, that's a tough nut to crack. My theory for getlocalcert is that the distribution problem is too difficult (for me) to solve, so I layer the tool on top of Let's Encrypt certificates instead. The end result for both tools is a trusted TLS certificate issued via ACME automation.

Running one’s own root Certificate Authority in 2023
Looks like step-ca/step-cli [1] and mkcert [2] have been mentioned. Another related tool is XCA [3] - a gui tool to manage CAs and server/client TLS certificates. It takes off some of the tedium in using openssl cli directly. It also stores the certs and keys in an encrypted database. It doesn't solve the problem of getting the root CA certificate into the system store or of hosting the revocation list. I use XCA to create and store the root CA. Intermediate CAs signed with it are passed to other issuers like vault and step-issuer.

Trayscale, an unofficial Tailscale GUI for Linux, has had several major updates since I first posted it here a few months ago, including system tray icon support and a Flatpak release.
Looks cool! I've been using mattn/tailscale-systray for some time now. Yours seem a lot more full-featured :)

libayatana-appindicator3-dev package on Fedora?
I've just installed Tailscale and I've seen on Reddit that, thanks to u/mattn, it is possible to have a little icon in the system tray too. So I started following the instructions on his repository but they were written for debian based distros and so required packages' names don't match. The required packages are: - gcc (that on fedora repos have the same name) - libgtk-3-dev (that I found as gtk3-devel) - libayatana-appindicator3-dev that I don't find anywhere

Proper way to keep running a program after closing the terminal
I have found on GitHub this go program that, after being built, I can run with ./tailscale-systray and it works as expected until I close the terminal/terminate the process with CTRL+C So, since the program provides a system tray that I would like to have always, I was looking for a way to keep it running.
- Linux port of tailscale system tray menu.
