Use OpenZiti to secure your monitoring
2. An identity aware SSO proxy by Buzzfeed[0]
I really like Buzzfeed's SSO implementation, but it hasn't received updates in a while and doesn't seem to be maintained to me. I could absolutely see OpenZiti replacing this for me.
I really like Wireguard and have absolutely no complaints with it -- but if OpenZiti could replace this as well and match the performance I get on Wireguard I would consider implementing it at home (and would probably be a happy enough customer to push for it at work).
One non-typical use-case I use Wireguard for is being able to do remote game streaming to my Windows hosts via Moonlight+Nvidia Gamestream. Would anyone be able to (anecdotally or scientifically), share how well a use-case like this would work with OpenZiti?

Libredirect – Redirect social media and websites to privacy friendly front ends
In addition to this suggestion, another viable route is to self-host those applications you rely on and don't expose them to the world (so as to reduce load/attack surface). Using a VPN can allow you to access the applications privately/remotely.
e.g. I self-host the applications I rely on such as Teddit, Nitter, Bibliogram and Cloudtube and then use Wireguard to always remain connected to the network they are accessible on. I have also implemented identity-aware SSO[1] so I can expose those applications remotely to specific individuals.

Add Password Protection to Any Site with OAuth2 Proxy - Plus Social Logins
If oauth2-proxy doesn't suit your needs, there are some projects that have spun-off from oauth2-proxy like pomerium and BuzzFeed's sso. In addition to the open source library, Pomerium offers a paid service with a GUI to help IT staff more easily manage user permissions. BuzzFeed's sso builds upon oauth2-proxy by separating the domain used for auth from the domain used for the proxy (among several other changes).

Should toggle button show its current state or the state to which it'll change?
I don't mean to just blanket shit on Teams, but Teams is just a confusing mess of UI choices and UX design that makes no sense even within the context of using Teams. The meeting icons are of course pretty awful as you cited, but it's even more things for me [0]:
- When joining a Teams call, the toggle for video gets "selected" so that pressing Return or spacebar (I think one or both) will toggle the video on -- noticing that you did this or that the video toggle is selected is a matter of chance as it's hard to see
- For some bizarre reason Teams has a "start call" shortcut that just immediately starts a call without the usual pre-call warning items. Joining a meeting from your calendar gives you a "pre-meeting room" where you can confirm your mic/video settings before joining, but hitting the call shortcut or button immediately starts a call
- Sometimes right-click menu loads slowly and additional options load after you right-click and move the mouse -- it so happens this will usually put the cursor on Pinning the message instead of selecting reply or edit
- Regarding Reply/Edit, there is a nice button to jump right to both, but for chats one button is showed, for private messages another is shown
- All teams messages are linkable; whether or not you right-clicked on a link in the message and are copying the link or if you're getting a link to the message itself depends on if you happen to notice whether you have 2 options on right-click or 3+ options
- Copying a linked item (e.g., document, media, picture) will have Download or Copy Link button. Copy link for some reason puts up a text box across the conversation you're having that is dismissible with escape or clicking usual x in box corner -- other "copy link" options just copy the link normally, other ones (like copying channel link) will open a window with the link for you to copy
- it is huge pain for me personally that the links you copy from Teams are Sharepoint links and pasting it in a browser tries to open files in Sharepoint browser, even if Sharepoint absolutely cannot display a preview of the file: you sit while Sharepoint tries to load a preview, and only after a few seconds of Sharepoint trying does it show you a download button to get the file (thankfully there are browser extensions like Redirector [1] which can be used to create redirects for auto-downloads...just Microsoft likes to change the URL for actual downloads relatively often so occasionally you need to update your redirects..)
Teams is so inconsistent and the UI and UX are equally inconsistent -- Teams is also not shy about showing tutorial prompts for features just whenever it wants to, no matter how long you've been using Teams, sometimes it will just block the entire app to highlight some feature it wants to advertise. I honestly don't think this or anything has to do with flat UI versus other ones, it's just plain lack of attention. maybe flat ui's give the impression of a "completed" thing, but I just can't see that most of the UI/UX issues for apps like Teams are about the aesthetic so much as just a complete lack of concern over what actually using the app is like.
0 - All points here were observed on vanilla teams installations on different computers -- maybe my work just has weird defaults, but I'm not confident that is the case

Understanding the different styles
I hated the new layout, and wanted to revert back to the one we've used for awhile. To do this, I had to download the browser plugin https://github.com/einaregilsson/Redirector and install it in Firefox.

What is this garbage UI change?
then let a browser plugin do it. works well so far, but it's still an imposition what reddit does here, unreadable. e.g. https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/

Most promoted and blocked domains among Kagi Search users
This is cool but imo it makes more sense to have URL redirection as a browser extension. That way all twitter links resolve to nitter. I use this one https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/

All Twitter content seems to be behind a login wall today
I still have a few accounts I glance at from time to time. Hockey, Game Devs, Artists, etc. who haven't migrated away despite everything, so this is kinda obnoxious.
I created some Redirector (https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/) rules to redirect Tweet and Twitter Profile URLs to their HTML embed equivalents.
Should be able to just import the rules and it seems to work alright with some caveats.

Browers extensions
The aforementioned uBlock Origin in all of them. Furthermore I have Dark Reader, KeePassXC-Browser, Redirector and (since very recently, but might be temporary) SponsorBlock in the browsers in which it makes sense.

Be careful what fic you post on tumblr from now on, they are banning certain things
Someone suggested this extension that lets you use RegEx to replace urls. I'm going to play around with it this weekend and see if I can get it to just display every page on tumblr with the dashboard url. https://github.com/einaregilsson/Redirector
