      As someone completely out of the loop - which countries block WireGuard packets en masse?

          I knew this was the case, but I did a couple of stopovers in China earlier this year when flying to/from Japan, and using Tailscale to connect through my local homelab worked perfectly.

            All mobile roaming traffic is tunneled through your home country. The host network simply forwards everything to and from your provider at home.

    Kind of a hijack comment, but since RSS was mentioned - Do you guys have some recommendations for ereader friendly feeds? Content like r/longreads is what comes to mind.

    You will probably also want to add `--no-logs-no-support` (don't mind the FUD-y argument name) to the scripted invocation of `tailscaled` here: https://github.com/victoria-riley-barnett/koreader-tailscale...

    Otherwise Tailscale (the company) will be collecting your behavioral metadata every time you use your Kindle (what other hosts it connects to, on what ports, connection open and close timestamps, etc): https://tailscale.com/docs/features/logging#opt-out-of-clien...

    Yes obviously the actual connection contents are encrypted, but ”just metadata” tells a whole heck of a lot about you: https://kieranhealy.org/blog/archives/2013/06/09/using-metad...

    Unreadable

      I was also going to make a snarky comment about AI written blog posts but they are just so prevalent now it’s barely worth saying. I just have to suppress the irritation and parse out the information. And I’m guilty of doing AI documentation so I’m a total hypocrite.

      I was able to read it fine on iPhone?

      Reader mode is in all major browsers.

      Also I really don't see how this meets "unreadable". It's very plain and normal, at least on mobile. (Which is a compliment to the site)
