- TV manufacturers are often (always?) members of the HDMI consortium, meaning they financially profit from each device that has an HDMI port.
- Manufacturers of devices with HDMI ports are heavily discouraged from also including competing ports like DP.
Well.
I use it in almost every project because it works so well with StateFlow: https://kotlinlang.org/api/kotlinx.coroutines/kotlinx-corout...
Kotlin is well-suited for DSLs, especially declarative ones (see kotlinx.html[0]).
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.
