Your question more relates to security rather than privacy. Tailscale cannot read any of your traffic. It's all E2EE. Now, is it possible that they're distributing binaries not built from the open source that contain a backdoor? Sure. But it would be an absolute shitshow, not because you and me but because of the many enterprise customers they have. So I don't worry about that. Same goes for them going rogue and accessing your devices. For that, there's Taillock which makes your devices not trust traffic from a device not signed by a trusted node in your Tailnet.

I'd much rather make use of zero-config WG, exit nodes, relay servers, not having to worry about DDNS, solid NAT travelsal, etc. than to worry a company will lose their mind and attack free-plan users.

You know you don't know what you're talking about when you call it "deep web".

Their employer don't need their IP address to be able to dox their location. They likely have their physical address already. IP address locations are self-reported, unreliable and usually onyl point to a city or a wider area.

If someone uses LLM and AI interchangable, their opinions on the subject doesn't matter anyway.

Do you want good products? That happens through telemetry. Simple as that.

FreeTube streams from googlevideo. This app is a frontend for Invidious AFAICT. Different stuff. Streaming googlevideo directly is the only method that works properly on 1080p+. Also, this doesn't work.

there's a security researcher in the US currently being sued by some state because he downloaded breached data from TOR that the state was saying didn't leak.

So I need to go look at what filesystem each app is requesting and manually disable that on top of disabling home access entirely? What's the point of being able to do filesystem=!home in the global config?

Which is how we know their self-rolled encryption is shit.

There's a reason why Telegram CEO can be arrested when Signal's can't. Because Telegram has information they can give but refuse to whereas Signal give everything they've got, which is basically nothing.

Yep, some people these are saying just 7 of the 150 binaries don't have source or build info. Yeah, one binary is enough to do all the evil in the world, not that other binaries support reproducible builds anyway.

I gave up gaming, I stopped wasting time and started getting more done. It really just gives me the freedom to do other things. When people say “user freedom,” it’s not just about the software; it’s about having control over one’s life.

This is cope. Gaming is not a waste of time. Pretending like legitimate and common use cases being unavailable on free hard/software is a plus won't do anyone any good. If you don't want to game that's fine. Lots of people do and it's no different than some other useless hobby most people have.

You don't have control over whether you can game if with the hardware you have.

I mean, assuming you're telling the truth about there being a competent group seriously attempting this, it's still "trust us bro" to conclusively claim it can't be achieved without providing a shred of evidence. This makes your original comment irrelevant and worthless.
