What are you looking forward to?
With the world the way it is, it can be hard (at least for me) to see much of a future. So, for something positive for a change, what's happening in your personal life, what are you getting, or what ever else is meaningful right now - what's going on that you're looking forward to?
Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO
Corporate VPN startup Tailscale secures $230 million CAD Series C on back of “surprising” growthPennarun confirmed the company had been approached by potential acquirers, but told BetaKit that the company intends to grow as a private company and work towards an initial public offering (IPO).
“Tailscale intends to remain independent and we are on a likely IPO track, although any IPO is several years out,” Pennarun said. “Meanwhile, we have an extremely efficient business model, rapid revenue acceleration, and a long runway that allows us to become profitable when needed, which means we can weather all kinds of economic storms.”
Keep that in mind as you ponder whether and when to switch to self-hosting Headscale.

....and what are current Plex users, that don't like the direction Plex has taken, doing ? Riding the next horse. When Tailscale gets unbearable with their business practices, there are a lot of other options. Tailscale is just easy and it flippin' works.
What next horse? There’s plex and there’s fully self hosting with Jellyfin or similar. The gulf is very wide between plex and that.
I've been known to put garlic salt in a bowl of Cheerios before, so I guess I'd try it at least once, if it was a real thing of course.. 🤷♂️
Disclaimer: Back when I'd put garlic salt in Cheerios, the reason was I had a dental cavity and sugar was hurting my teeth, but I also didn't want my cereal tasting like cardboard.
Eventually, old computers and operating systems will likely be referred to as dumb computers or dumb terminals or similar, because they don't have artificial intelligence.
Similar to how the term 'digital' has shifted from doing numeric calculations and storage to how it's used today, referring to content you purchase and stream or download from the internet.
Terminology changes over time, and I'm not sure that I like some of the changes. 🤷
What Google's response actually looks like:
It sounds like there might be a misunderstanding about how foldable phones work!
Foldable phones are not inflated. They are highly sophisticated electronic devices with a flexible screen and a complex hinge mechanism that allows them to bend or fold.
Here's how they generally work:
- Flexible Display: Unlike traditional smartphones with rigid glass screens, foldable phones use flexible OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) or AMOLED displays. These displays are built on a plastic or polyimide substrate, which is much more flexible and can bend without breaking.
- Hinge Mechanism: This is a crucial component. Manufacturers like Samsung, Google, Huawei, and others have developed intricate hinge designs (often involving multiple interlocking gears) that allow the phone to fold and unfold smoothly and precisely. The hinge is designed to be durable and withstand thousands of folds.
- Software Optimization: The operating system (usually Android) is optimized to adapt to the different screen states. When the phone is folded, it functions like a compact smartphone. When unfolded, the software seamlessly adjusts the interface to take advantage of the larger, tablet-like screen, enabling multitasking and enhanced viewing experiences.
- Materials: While the core display is flexible, manufacturers often use ultra-thin glass (UTG) or specialized flexible plastic layers on top for improved scratch resistance and a more premium feel.
So, to be clear, you don't "inflate" a foldable phone like a balloon. You simply unfold it to reveal the larger screen, and fold it back up for a more compact form factor.
