Hrvach/Deskhop: Fast Desktop Switching Device
I make one that I put a lot of effort into documenting:
https://github.com/tiny-pilot/tinypilot
It's pretty easy to extend since it's just Python and vanilla HTML/JS/CSS, so there's not much of a toolchain to install.
You can buy it pre-made for $399 or make a DIY one for under $100.

Ask HN: Any Hardware Startups Here?
Took me awhile to remember what it was called, but TinyPilot [^0] by mtlynch is pretty cool. Michael sometimes writes about running a hardware business on his blog [^1].

Taildrop lets you send files between your personal devices on Tailscale network
> VPN as a service sounds wrong from security perspective, as you are giving away all the keys.
Tailscale’s Android and Linux clients are open-source[0] and based on WireGuard (which AFAIU is now part of the Linux kernel[1]). With other VPN software you may be owning the keys but you cannot verify what the program does.
Tailscale requires a coordination server to function. This component is not open-source, but there is an open-source reimplementation called Headscale[2] that you can host on your own server.
Additionally, there is "tailnet lock"[3]:
> Tailnet lock lets you verify that no node is added to your tailnet without being signed by trusted nodes in your tailnet. When tailnet lock is enabled, even if Tailscale infrastructure is malicious or hacked, attackers can’t send or receive traffic on your tailnet.
---
> These internal services that are annohnced are just... Services you can run on the Internet with TLS.
I haven’t used Tailscale in a professional context, so I cannot comment on the usefulness there, but I am using it (with Headscale) in my homelab. It makes it very easy to access all the services spread onto multiple boxes from everywhere, let them all use the same AdGuard Home DNS server without having to configure them individually and tunnel all my traffic through my home internet connection using an exit node[4].
I normally use croc[5] for file transfers between boxes, but when I had to fetch some files from my Windows game streaming computer, it was easier to just use Taildrop because Tailscale was installed already.

QUIC Is Not Quick Enough over Fast Internet
BTW, that code changed just recently:
https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/commit/1c972bc7cbebfc...
It's now a AF_PACKET/SOCK_DGRAM fd as it was originally meant to be.

Server Setup Basics for Self Hosting
I recommend checking out [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/), which replaces both Nginx and Certbot in this setup.
[Tailscale](https://tailscale.com/) can remove the need to open port 22 to the world, but I wouldn't rely on it unless your VPS provider has a way to access the server console in case of configuration mistakes.

Tailscale Kubernetes Operator
Anyways, I'm not always at home when I want to work on something and I wanted to find a way to access services remotely. Well tonight I realized I should be able to do this with Tailscale.

Kubernetes vs Philippine Power Outages - On setting up k0s over Tailscale
It's important to note potential edge cases when integrating Calico with Tailscale as discussed here. To avoid conflicts, we recommend remapping Calico's netfilter packets. This ensures compatibility and smooth operation in your network setup.
