Re:I Traced My Traffic Through a Home Tailscale Exit Node on Tuesday March 31, 2026 @08:01PM (#47595085)
Tailscale tangential use case! :)

I was looking for remote access software to help family with their PC and came across RustDesk(https://rustdesk.com/) but it needs a server. Found out it can work without a server if you have Tailscale installed. No fees for any of this and works on many platforms.

According to Mosyle’s analysis, ModStealer is being delivered to victims through malicious job recruiter ads targeting developers. It uses a heavily obfuscated JavaScript file written with NodeJS that remains completely undetectable by signature-based defenses. And this one isn’t just targeting Mac users either; Windows and Linux environments are also at risk.

For (English only) speech-to-text, NVIDIA's Parakeet-V2 is significantly faster than Whisper and I found it to be more accurate.
