From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Trayscale, a nice little GUI for Tailscale (github.com)

If you're not familiar with Tailscale it's a very user-friendly "overlay network" that lets you securely connect all your devices no matter where they are over the internet.

No need to forward ports on your router to access your home network anymore. And no need to set up VPNs manually either. Just install Tailscale on all your devices and log in with Gmail or other providers.

Tailscale has official apps for Windows, Mac Android and iOS.

Thanks to a project called Trayscale we now have a GUI app for managing Tailscale on GNU/Linux as well.

You can easily install it using a flatpak.

May IPv4 just die.

[–] Atemu@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

It's dead already. Problem is that in the year of the lord 2023 ipv6 still isn't really a thing yet, so IPv4 remains on life support.

If you're already using IPv6 for everything, you don't need to care about CGNAT in IPv4. I highly doubt that's the case however.
