I'm looking into ways to access my home network which is behind a CGNAT. Tailscale looks like the best solution so far. I would like to clarify a doubt on Tailscale
I have a domain name registered with one of the popular services out there. I saw that Tailscale uses MagicDNS. But I wanted to use my personal domain. My doubt is if I want to use my custom domain with Tailscale, the following will be the procedure,
- Setup Tailscale account and add machines.
- My device inside the home network will get a Tailscale IP assigned. From 100.xx.xx.xx pool
- Use this IP to configure an A record in my Domain registrar.
Now when I try to access this domain what will happen is,
- DNS server will resolve the Tailscale IP.
- The outside client will try to connect to my machine in the home network.
- Tailscale takes care of the CGNAT part and helps to establish a direct connection.
- Clients will use the public keys to establish trust and will communicate with each other.
If there is anything wrong in my understanding please correct me. I could not get a clear cut answer on this through searching.
I think I got the idea. So essentially a new copy of the file is created and stored only if there is a change, else it just refer to the older SHA. Am I right? Now I understand why LFS was needed for binaries, else it createds a lot of storage problems, but not the huge monorepos.
I'm not a developer, but a design person who covers much more including architecture. But in my org I happen to teach developers how to use Git. Strange, I know. But that is the case. It gave me a good opportunity to learn Git in depth.
I went through your blogs and patch stack workflow. I have to say that I have not been happy with the branching workflow and I always felt that is not the best (I agree to the point about "unjust popularity"). The patch stack workflow makes more sense to me. Unfortunately we won't be able to adopt, since getting everyone to Git itself was a huge effort. Also developers are not that keen into creating good code, but just working working code. I'm extremely frustrated with that.
Also your blog design is really good. I love it. I always wanted to create something like that. But never managed to sit down and do it. Can you give me a brief about the tech stack used for the blog?
Do you use RNote for diagrams? The style looks familiar. Or is it something else?
