oh wow. I have become fond of pidgin over the years. There is a slack plugin that makes life a lot better. It seems for plugins, extensions, app stores, and general third-party repositories (pip, npm, crates, etc) risks are increasing. Centralization breeds certain risks that are tough to mitigate. So far, mitigating these risks involve trusting a central steward, cryptographic signing, and contributor reputation.I wonder if we can ever truly mitigate the contributor or steward aspects?

I’ve been running netmaker now for little over a year in conjunction with keycloak. This was back when tailscale didn’t have support for oicd SSO in their lower-tier offering. I’ve had some difficulty with upgrades and connectivity behind various NAT scenarios. One issue that I found difficult: If a client updated, it would not longer connect until the server side software was updated. This meant I had to exclude netclient from package upgrades. Overall, when it works, it works great. There have been some improvements. I would like to see networks statistics get included in their free/open source offering.

The chilling affect has me not even wanting to post this excerpt: “People in this town have been very supportive, but not publicly. And I talked to one person who said, “Oh, are you sure It's ok that I can talk to you because they might come and seize my computer?””

This question has been in my head recently. How feasible is it really? The answer in the link isn’t comprehensive. Is it really out of the question for manufacturer’s to ship a particular version of a device and software for a target country? Nation states have a history of backdooring or weakening particular technologies.

Ah nice! I use Keycloak in conjunction with NetMaker. It seems to work well! I’d like to figure out a way to somehow get ssh authentication with keycloak. I’ve read of oauth + ssh certs, but all of it seems so cumbersome. It would be cool to have an open source alternative to StrongDM.

Interesting! I once lost my original StarCraft CD Key. In a desperate attempt to simply install and play the game I tried converting “StarCraft” to numbers using A1Z26 cipher. Honesty didn’t know it at the time what to call what I was doing. I was just a kid! But, guess what? It worked! It only worked for local play. BattleNet did not see it as a valid key. I like to think some SWE somewhere hid that in there on purpose. Whoever you are, if you see this, thank you!

Over VXLAN yeah... You won't believe how many small-medium companies are moving from on-prem to small managed private clouds. VXLAN allows them to maintain their existing network configuration. "You hope" ha! I suppose by this you mean that the wireguard + vxlan may not be a "mature" combination for something as mission-critical as voice traffic? VXLAN implementations by mature companies (Netgate, Fortinet, etc...) those work. Maybe this wireguard+vxlan would work too.. who knows!?

Edit: I see you changed your comment to consider remote DHCP which causes my comment above to be irrelevant. Oh well. The fact still holds that VXLAN is meant to handle Layer 2 so saying BGP is an alternative is like putting a square peg in a round hole.
