My comment was kind of high level because I wasn’t sure how much you knew technically already.

But yeah, you would unfortunately need access to the DNS server on your router and be able to add custom records. You’d additionally need a DNS server somewhere for Tailscale clients whether that’s on a Tailscale node or just on the public internet (and configure Tailscale to use it).

I suppose a last-ditch effort would be to buy a domain and create records pointing to both the Tailscale and internal LAN IP addresses. The downside is that you’re basically making the map to your network public but at least people wouldn’t actually be able to access those internal (LAN, Tailscale) IP addresses. The benefit would be only needing to manage one set of records in one place.

I’m really rusty on my OSI model but Avahi, NETBEUI and friends won’t work over WireGuard tunnels because those are layer 2 protocols whereas WireGuard operates at layer 3 (if I remember correctly).

I do exactly this by using DNS. You’ll want DNS on your home network to report back just the internal IP addresses for each host, but not the Tailscale IP addresses (that is, if you want the hostnames to work outside of Tailscale too).

Then for Tailscale’s DNS you’d set up records for the same hostnames but return either just the Tailscale IP addresses or both. I generally do both but it’s probably better to do the former to avoid leaks outside the WireGuard tunnels (though with a subnet router that probably won’t happen anyway).

This is much like traditional split DNS where your internal network’s DNS server is probably going to give internal IP addresses for a local web server’s hostname but a public DNS server would return a publicly routable IP address.

Avahi is going to be a huge pain because it relies on multicast. It won’t work over Tailscale (or traditional VPN tunnels other than an OpenVPN TAP interface) without lots of fighting.

In the highest quality available with an external USB DAC and studio monitors. Usually I listen to music alone; I don’t like blasting music on speakers unless I’m in my car.

To be fair this is terrible road design.

Who cares? People that are eating beef in 2025 need to seriously reconsider their impact on animal welfare and the environment.

Who uses Grok?

I’ve noticed with politics it’s pretty east coast centric along with comedy television/movies. Just assume it’s DC when it’s politics.

Just another idiot to add to the blocklist.

Redirecting to the VPN providers might be a little too crass for the shit eating trolls in this country who will only seek to punish them for that.

Were I in their shoes I’d simply do an nginx-style return 444 and drop the connection (assuming they even hit the HTTP server after DNS resolution).

Damn is that dumb old bitch still rattling off bullshit with that Halloween-adjacent sullen face of hers?

I thought she’d climbed under a rock and died by now.

If I’m not mistaken California just passed the same rule at the state level July 1st. Let’s hope that one sticks.

Very entertaining read, love it!
