If you decide to move from Twitter to Mastodon, I encourage you to not use the mastodon.social server. The whole point of Mastodon is federation. If most end up on the same server, we are back to square 1 regarding centralization. Pick a server at joinmastodon.org/servers

If it _really_ tanks, sure :)

I'm not able to travel for this (😢), but my coworkers want y'all to know they'd be very sad if they have to drink alone so they'd like you Londoners to join them tomorrow.

.Tailscale is hiring a developer advocate on the developer experience team. Check out the listing and DM me if you want to chat about it: boards.greenhouse.io/tailscale/jobs…

You can take some Xooglers out of Google, but you can't take their go links away! Fun working with [email protected] on this. We've been using it tons at Tailscale: tailscale.com/blog/golink/

Fun work by Jordan Whited and James Tucker on making WireGuard-go (and thus Tailscale) in userspace faster by using some rarely-used Linux kernel interfaces... 🎉🚀🔥 tailscale.com/blog/throughpu…

New Tailscale thing...

This is so dope 😍 A userland tcp/ip stack in #golang. `go build -buildmode=c-archive` Now you have a userland tcp/ip stack in C. Tailscale never disappoint.

QUIC usage in the data center propelled UDP segmentation and receive offload support in to the Linux kernel. These offloads are also applicable for WireGuard, and we used them to enable Tailscale to surpass 10Gb/s on Linux. I wrote more details here - tailscale.com/blog/more-thro….

I'm now bradfitz.com on Bluesky. It looks very promising! Pretty slick so far.

I have Bluesky invites. If I follow you (or we've met in person or worked together or...), DM me "blueskyplz" or something and I'll reply with one if/when I have any left. Then use the invite at staging.bsky.app or the mobile apps.

There's my dad's KF initials near the middle! 🤓

How would you feel if a piece of software you installed added its own product name to your machine's local user dictionary as a valid word so it didn't get red squiggly lines when users typed it? #poll (arguably OS should do this itself, sure)

Want to come work on the Tailscale backend systems? We're hiring. (Remote, but US and Canada only) tailscale.com/careers#open-j… ("Platform Engineer") #golang

Some time back I rigged up a WireGuard-to-Tailscale proxy but it was a Rube Goldberg machine and fell apart and was hard to run. This weekend Maisem Ali and I "polished" it up into a standalone Go binary: github.com/tailscale/tail… Still rough, but fun. Good weekend distraction.
