I think collective, democratic ownership is kind of the opposite of authoritarianism, right haha? But I agree choice is important! Thanks for your comment!
Define collective democratic ownership and how it conflicts with the rights of individuals. Why does the collective good need to be the future instead "get your hands of my data". Don't you see there's no one true collective and that politics corrupt?
Every time a party in a democracy wins some group claims they're evil and wrong and suddenly it is not 'democratic'. They will label things along partisan lines whereas I'm making the point of protecting the individual no matter what.
We do agree that choice is important so the inflammatory "no future" to one of those choices is a contradiction if you actually want to preserve it.
Eh, I can see your point. But Tailscale is a very different kind of centralized. It's just fancy, more convenient Wireguard at the end of the day. If I wanted to move away from it, it's pretty easy. Moving off of something like Google Photos however, was much harder in comparison.
The convenient part is having a public IP address to connect to from anywhere. You would need either exposing your home infrastructure to the internet or a cheap VPS.
Not that hard to solve, but it's an extra hurdle in the setup for something as critical as the networking to connect to your stuff from anywhere. I just think everyone is over-reliant on Tailscale when it's pretty obvious they'll rug-pull as soon as they run out of VC money to burn or get acquired.
So, it's convenient... for now. A future migration is inevitable when using Tailscale, and I prefer to solve problems once.
