Both the web interface and connections are down now. Was just fiddling with my private DNS serving both my local network and tailnet, when I lost access to the device listing around 20 minutes ago. Now I also cannot connect through tailnet IPs anymore. EDIT: took me a good minute to realise this too, as I thought I'd just screwed up something in my Pi's ipv6 configuration for the 3rd time in an hour.
P.S. you beat me to posting by 1 minute! Happy to see there was an option to hide my submission, never needed that before.

Connections through tailnet are back, website is still down

Website is also back, nice recovery speed by tailscale

hide just removes the submission from your page/new, it doesn't remove it from HN.. delete does that.

Good to know, but then again, I don't see such an option for my submission. Guess I'll just have to live with it.

You can only delete a submission in the first 10 minutes and only if nobody has commented yet.

Massive outages of core Internet services popping up shortly after corps firing devs and bragging about AI writing more of their code.

I could be mistaken but I don't recall Tailscale being one of these?

Tailscale is definitely not one of that crowd. Their CEO had some very reasonable takes on AI and developers on LinkedIn / their blog (linked in a sibling comment).

Tailscale isn't a massive corp, more like a Series B startup. And the CEO's take on LLMs is a sober one, not based on hype.
Weird how you notice a few names on a message board then they disappear to do something new.

I was going crazy trying to figure out why I couldn't connect to our supercomputer an hour ago. Relieved to know it was a global outage!

As someone pointed out recently here: no one gets fired for AWS outage

Nothing personal against tailscale but I hope it drives the point home that leaving the hosting of the key exchange server for your mesh network to an external entity is a little bit ridiculous.

Are self-hosted solutions impervious to outages? I wasn't aware.

Who said that
LeoPanthera•35m ago
"sureglymop" certainly implied it, otherwise I don't know what the point of that comment was.

If your key exchange server is on us-east-1 are you also ridiculous?

with Tailscale Lock you have a lot more control, you can also self-host your coordinator server which is an alternative even mentioned in the service docs[0]
