Currently I am not switch to it because I just have my own app talk to the herdr daemon via my apps builtin tailscale and it works great
There are too much features added now, perhaps some related to enterprise features because that must drive the revenue
Sometimes I am thiking perhaps they provide a light tailscale version but that seems not viable given the complexity now, headscale is great, but the OSS client still have plenty features, though they are gradually added feature based switch in the client source which I think is great, perhaps we can build a light version over it
This is also I do not think the tailscale-rs(which aim to rewrite tailscale with rust) will not be ready in a short time because too much (feature + cross platform) need to be tested
Cann't say something more, but it just made me a bit sad, and feel some nostalgia, and find how times flies over the years

This really blown my mind, and seem the 1/2 video is installed a app by click pdf link?
I guess and hope there will be update from apple quickly
But for ordinary user and mobile, and given the jitter of wireless network, seems it may cause unnecessary changes
But overall this is a neat project combine of technology I was fiddling and enjoy
Have been used some spare time to learn common lisp and write a manual project, still use web based AI as a quick search method.
But I managed to learn some common lisp and how to do cffi in common lisp and
- use gtk4 cffi binding to start a GUI app - write a ghostty cffi to encode/decode terminal escape sequences - write a libssh2 cffi to communicate with a ssh server
Hope I can build a minimal SSH Terminal using common lisp to keep on experiment and exploration
One thing I do not like is no native dark mode on chrome, but that's okay, I just do not use phone when I preparing to sleep
For the adblock/tracker issue, recently just added builtin DNS-based adblock (backed by several public block list) to my VPN app, it seems works well, given same engine and same network filtered by the same VPN, i guess they are same to me
I used agent over 1 year and basically always give codex full permission on each thread, do not get issue so far
Why we need this layer of complexity? Or its mainly for big company that need control ?
Hope this shift will make the project get sustainable and evolve fast
This coincidently the first picture in this article by cloudflare
I also think it seems cloudflare enter into a stage keep adding products and make the portal looks like a maze to get more advanced features configured
Do you still remember cloudflare mesh and use and stick to it?
I read the document and sometimes use LLM as a quick search engine because I am tired of every query on google that use AI to summarize
The project goes slowly but seems the basics I grasped over the years help a lot
So perhaps it still worth to learn by hand with trial and fail
I agreed with the author that one must learn deep above the abstraction and I truely think programming still a thing even the agentic coding is getting powerful
Sometimes I am wondering the low acquisition rate still pay off
I was thinking the herdr remote features is nice to have in my app, given this herdr multi machine support, perhaps I need to reconsider how I integrate it in the future
I am curious is what is the 80% request served by this setup, I was using it for OpenClaw which run serveral cron jobs that discover stuffs over the wide internet, check my support system's unanswered tickets, browser X and some social media for me to filter the valued ones(though I have to say even with GPT 5.6 sol, the quality is low for the timeline X sent to me)
Btw, Tailscale is quite cool and did a good job, I was using it to serve the local LLM and connct the openclaw on a Linux Machine to it.
We have dozen of RFCs and vendors gears support IPv6 as well, but it just not finished
and see tailcat come out, trying to replace iroh with this to do some experiment because i really love how tailscale works and invest much time to the stack
True appriciated of open source this, combine the tailscale open source client core with this, i think it can unlock more stuffs
Being dad is really hard joyful, you watch they grow from a tiny one to some big one which argue with you also sometimes care you when you sad
I quit from a high pay job because I want to enjoy more time with kids because I feel not get enough in my childhood
I like to read philosophy and settled with existentialism, this helps with the stress of low earning compared the previous time
Life may all about trade off, we may not lucky to get everything we want
Just poke it a bit and find for codex it use app server protocol too

This is humor, isn't it?
I think I am not the lucky one to get overnight success and like in the post get the lucky time on iOS 15 release
Being writing a long article to record my indie app developper journey, Hope I can read in calm of it one decade later
So i launched agy and find seems it have a 3.7 flash i thought its latest,until i see this article i know it's just released
after serveral rounds prompt(the initial prd prompt is by chatgpt), it use 2.9k user message token and 42.5k reponse tokens with gemini 3.7 flash(low) after i check the status, i got a working on device translator, its cool
the model seems also p and retty fast and the generated app looks good and easy to use
but agy cli is a bit unintuitve and i also check the guy that release the latest agy, seems the guy does not commit much ? or perhaps agy does not open source and only use github as a issue feedback channel
As a long term C programmer and start using go from the early days, really love it's rich ecosystem and portability.
Nowadays, for any backend code, i just let agent to write using go, and for resource constraint environment, i just use rust.
And both have good C interop, and good ffi interface to hook into more higher level language such as Swift/Kotlin if one wnat to develop some mobile Apps
For me I have a 24x7 running intel gen 11 nuc, i am lucky to get it installed with 32G memory and two NVME disks years ago and cannot image add those memory and NVME disk with much higher price
Just run some docker and VM on that, use cloudflare tunnel or tailscale funnel if you want to expose some service to the wild internet
I recently even find a pixel 5 and passthrough it to the openclaw VM on that nuc, let it browse the X to find some posts and relax me from doom scrolling, though seems timeline still bad and no much valued post find.

Impressive...
Given gpt 5.5 was very good to me and gpt 5.6 series seems not boost too much, i kinda like the way bake the model weight to the chip, and connect multiple chip to serve the large scale model and allow respin some parts(ROM like?) to do model weight update, maybe this seems sustainable, the future is exciting
