I love Tailscale posts, but I don't feel like the slide -> blog conversion has gone very well here. It reads more like a Twitter thread. In one of the slides, they even admit the imagery is sloppy, but do nothing to supplement it with a better one.

Love both Tailscale and Xe's writing as well, and indeed, all these (rather irrelevant) images are just breaking the flow of reading/skimming the content. I guess I'll just watch the video instead.

Yeah, they definitely need to spend 5 minutes to remove the spurious slides that don't actually provide any information.

This took me more than 5 minutes, but do you mean something like this? https://tailscale-dev-git-xe-no-fun-allowed-tailscale.vercel...

I see a lot of mention of folks of using tailscale for their friend group to access stuff.. but the free plan seems to max out at 3 users, with an exception for foss projects.

What am I missing? How do I use tailscale for my 10ish friends and me to play minecraft without paying hundreds a year?

Yes! This is way more readable, thank you.

OP kindly made a streamlined version of same post for those who prefer: https://tailscale-dev-git-xe-no-fun-allowed-tailscale.vercel....

All: please focus on the content now. (See https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html re "tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats [etc.].")

Edit: looks like that's now the version at the official URL so I will cause this comment to plummet to the depths.
