Headscale + Tailscale: Building a Self‑Hosted Tailnet and Exit Node

I like Tailscale because it solves a messy problem in a very clean way.

I have decided to start using Gentoo again. I built a Gentoo 64-bit virtual machine and after two nights of working on it, I have a bootable base system.

Kidney Donor – Approved

I got a call from my transplant coordinator yesterday and got a formal approval on being a kidney donor for my dad. All of the financial pieces have been approved, so now it is a matter of my dad getting final approval from his nephrologist and then scheduling a date for the surgeries. At this point, I am anticipating that… Continue reading Kidney Donor – Approved
