Man, that's sad to hear, but I guess it's not entirely surprising
I bought several Keychron boards (a K10, A V6 and a Q1) and never had any problems, but the last one I bought was back in 2023 (so there is plenty of time for the brand to get worse)
In maths "trivial" is usually when the author has a statement they could prove, but chose not to (either because is too obvious, stems from a result in another text, or is a lenghty proof)
Well Europe had the benefit of full sovereignty over the entire continent, instead of investing in infrastructure it was all just plundered in the name of profits for the honeland
I mean, don't get me wrong I know that China is not doing anything of pure benevolency, still having China as a partner is better than being a colony I guess
I believe that a better counterargument would be: "well when Europe was relevant to the african continent electricity wasn't even deployed in all of Europe"
I do believe my experience in this regard is not representative of everyone, I probably failed to untick some checkbox (regarding communications) and the "too many ad emails" are a handful (in 3 months), which to me is a handful too much (having to untick a box should not be necessary)
I get your point, though Tailscale specifically crosses a line for me in this sense:
Using code created/maintained by businesses: ok
Relying in infrastructure maintained by businesses: not ok
I am not that big of an enthusiast, but the way I see it, if a company goes rogue and you're using their open source code, it's just a matter of forking it (I'm thinking about Emby/Jellyfin as an example)
If you rely on their infrastructure (such as Tailscale servers) then you are at the mercy of the companies
To that end: I'd say that OP is prettt on point by suggesting Headscale, you're still "using Tailscale" in a sense, but without chaining yourself to the business
Yup, I don't know if that is OP's intention, but I would agree myself with the complaint that "Tailscale is a business"
The way I see it, if it's a business it must generate revenue (either now or down the road), and that is enough to have me worried.
I do have a Tailscale registration, and the way they approach email communication is already a yellow flag to me (too many ad emails)
Oh, I see That sounds interesting, perhaps I'll look into it sometime
