A solid 8 or 9 months beyond acceptable, but the only time it’s too late to stop arming genocidal regimes is after their goal is complete.

With 700 million bots conducting marketing and psychological warfare ops it is!
Intercepting the shipment, lining the interior of with some explosive (some putty that could hug all open space, or swapping out the batteries with custom ones that are half filled, etc), then wiring up a microchip that triggers when a specific code of 1’s & 0’s is received, or perhaps audio signal.
We’re talking about a state secret police here. There is no law or order. There is no “democracy”. They have billions of dollars in funding, and a mandate to do whatever they want with essentially zero consequences.
What I find most concerning is that a large number of people/journalists considered it plausible to blow up a (edit: stock standard) pager remotely via some hack or zero day.
The war crimes are expected.
When there are zero consequences for war crimes, the “rules based” law and order we virtue signal is completely meaningless.
Just plutocracies, doing plutocratic things, because they’re plutocracies.
You’re clearly one of the reasons the quality is so low. Wasting everyone’s time using lemmy as your personal link aggregator. It’s obnoxious af.
Yeah, the quality on Lemmy is nowhere near what Reddit was back in its heyday 10+ years ago; mostly due to the quality of the users; users who think content like this is worthy of posting and upvoting.

This is just one of countless examples that we live in capitalist plutocracies — ruled by corporations and the richest family dynasties who make up their majority shareholders — masquerading as “democracies”. Sure, you can vote, but your only options are pre-approved.
When the people causing genocide, war, and ecocide are untouchable, their entire rule of law is invalid.
It’s like saying “Republican party working directly with Fox News, Breitbart, and OANN to spread disinformation”
Yeah … No shit!
FYI ^ Sunny — I suggest you query your LAN routing config with Tailscale specific support, discord, forums, etc. I’m 99% certain you can fix your LAN access issues with little more than a reconfig.
vyatta and vyatta-based (edgerouter, etc) I would say are good enough for the average consumer.
WTF? What galaxy are you from? Literally zero average consumers use that. They use whatever router their ISP provides, is currently advertised on tech media, or is sold at retailers.
I’m not talking about budget routers. I’m talking about ALL software running on consumer routers. They’re all dogshit closed source burn and churn that barely receive security updates even while they’re still in production.
Also you don’t need port forwarding and ddns for internal routing. … At home, all traffic is routed locally
That is literally the recommended config for consumer Tailscale and any mesh VPN. Do you even know how they work? The “external dependency” you’re referring to — their servers — basically operate like DDNS, supplying the DNS/routing between mesh clients. Beyond that all comms are P2P, including LAN access.
Everything else you mention is useless because Tailscale, Nebula, etc all have open source server alternatives that are way more robust and foolproof to rolling your own VPS and wireguard mesh.
My argument is that “LAN access” — with all the “smart” devices and IoT surveillance capitalism spyware on it — is the weakest link, and relying on mesh VPN software to create a VLAN is significantly more secure than relying on open LAN access handled by consumer routers.
Just because you’re commenting on selfhosted, on lemmy, doesn’t mean you should recommend the most complex and convoluted approach, especially if you don’t even know how the underlying tech actually works.
This kind of protest only works if the political class possess empathy, instead of being the most corrupt and narcissistic puppets the plutocracy can muster.
If that’s the case then the Cartels already elect/make most of the politicians — whom select the judges — so there’s not really much of a difference, is there?
What is the issue with the external dependency? I would argue that consumer routers have near universal shit security, networking is too complex for the average user, and there’s a greater risk opening up ports and provisioning your own VPN server (on consumer software/hardware). The port forwarding and DDNS are essentially “external dependencies”.
Mesh VPN clients are all open source. I believe Tailscale are currently implementing a feature where new devices can’t connect to your mesh without pre-approval from your own authorized devices, even if they pass external authentication and 2FA (removing the dependency on tailscale servers in granting authorization, post-authentication).
My phone has been on silent permanently for the last 2 decades, so I miss 90% of calls. Only answer when it’s a known contact and I’m actively looking at my phone.
Until someone hacks your brain, or just puts a keyboard in front of you and lets the chip do its thing without your consent.
