This is beautiful. Thank you for this! Beautifully execute, beautiful idea :)

Working on a way to keep my agents running using email while I'm away from my desk. I want to spend time with the moments that matter, not babysitting agents. I want them to keep working while I'm out. Why can't I just email them?



There is an option to check the source if you’re serious about that: sign an NDA, jump on a secure data room call and I can take you through the source for audit. Normally I only do this for big customers of other products but, I’m open to it.

Beautiful design. And I love that 1970s high quality plastic.

That's awesome man that is REALLY cool. Useful :)

Partially correct: we don't give away the source, but we also don't use your credentials.

We use the official cloud CLIs (gcloud, hcloud, aws, az, vultr-cli) that are either already signed in or not. If not, we detect using their subcommands to display login status, like gcloud info, etc). If not signed in, we ask if you want to sign in, and if you do then the official cloud CLI does the sign in and handles your creds however each one does. That might sound like splitting hairs, but to me that approach made much more sense that trying to safely handle your creds!

You might be wondering why not give away the source code? I tried this over the last 10 years with a bunch of different products (BrowserBox, DownloadNet), and ones where I didn't (WisprNote, etc). The trend was clear: giving away source led to less revenue, and more "shady" usage (big corps using but ripping it off, etc). Whereas proper "license and source protection locked-doors" led to people behaving with more respect, and more revenue.


Thanks, bud!

Does this mean TS is not FIPS 140-3 now?

It never was FIPS-approved and likely will never be. The wireguard protocol used by Tailscale uses ChaCha20 for encryption which is not FIPS approved.

Interesting. What is the FIPS version of wireguard?

There are some forks that are not compatible with regular wireguard, for example from wolfssl. Or just classic mTLS.

I found my Google reflex has become my AI reflex. I reach for whatever is nearest.
