Thoughts on Tailscale alternatives? I've been using Tailscale for years but more amd more often I keep hitting strange issues.
By far the worst one is it randomly logging out devices, even ones with no key expiry set, making it less useful as a reliable service.

@aral curious if your poll was inspired by mine, where I took a single-person instance as the example of my #ThoughtProvoker toot..
https://social.coop/@smallcircles/116542809803489003
Like in the responses to your poll it triggered a whole bunch of interesting discussion. Unfortunately all happens on a communication medium where all insights are lost tomorrow (except for those who keep records and archives, I guess :)
I think really this is an "if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" kind of thing, which is inherent to how we evolve the app-centric fediverse. We try to hammer all forms of communication into a Microblog design.
The app platform becomes a straightjacket way of doing things as intended by its developer owners, plus a bag of features to allow variations to that for instance owners, so they can deal with a certain set of edge cases.
I'd choose the option "it depends". It is solution-specific. But there needs to be crystal clear mutual expectations and proper management thereof.

That is the nice thing of the #ThoughtProvoker hashtag. Leaves it to anyone to have and express an opinion, and those discussion hopeful input to social experience design of our collective social web. I agree with your Should/Shall/Will on the other post. Thank you for your replies.

Hantavirus Cruise Ship Scare: Serious, But Not COVID 2.0 – And Hopefully Handled Smarter This Time
The MV Hondius and similar vessels highlight the rare risks of rodent-borne viruses on expeditions (Image generated by Grok Imagine for illustrative purposes).
This generated image is free for you to use in your article. For stock alternatives, check PublicDomainPictures.net or Unsplash for “cruise ship ocean” under CC0 licenses.Dear Cherubs,
A hantavirus cluster on a cruise ship has sparked fresh headlines and inevitable pandemic flashbacks, but health officials are quick to stress this isn’t another COVID situation – and the response so far suggests we might actually apply some hard-won lessons instead of repeating the chaos.
What Makes This Different
The outbreak aboard the Dutch-flagged MV Hondius, which was traveling from Argentina, has so far involved around seven cases including confirmed hantavirus infections, with three deaths reported as of early May 2026. Passengers have been evacuated for care, contact tracing is underway across multiple countries, and the World Health Organization assesses the public health risk as low.
Hantavirus is not new. It’s primarily rodent-borne, spread through inhaling aerosolized urine, droppings, or saliva from infected mice and rats – think cabin cleaning gone wrong rather than casual airborne transmission like COVID. The Andes strain involved here is a rare exception that can have limited person-to-person spread, unlike most variants. Symptoms start flu-like (fever, muscle aches, fatigue) and can progress to severe respiratory distress with a high case fatality rate for pulmonary syndrome, often 30-50% in serious cases, per CDC data. But globally, infections remain uncommon. In the Americas in 2025, there were 229 reported cases and 59 deaths across eight countries.
Lessons From the Last Go-Round
Compare that to COVID’s rapid global explosion, endless variants, and economic shutdowns. Experts, including WHO’s Maria Van Kerkhove, have been unequivocal: “This is not COVID, this is not influenza; it spreads very, very differently.” No one is talking lockdowns for the general public. Instead, we’re seeing targeted evacuations, monitoring of disembarked passengers in places like the US and Europe, and transparent updates – a far cry from early COVID confusion.
It’s giving “apply the lessons” energy, bet. Funding cuts under the previous US administration to emerging infectious disease research, including hantavirus pilots, drew criticism after this outbreak, highlighting the need for steady preparedness. Treatment remains supportive – oxygen, ICU care, fluids – with no specific antiviral approved, though early intervention helps. Unlike COVID, there’s no vaccine yet, but the contained nature and known transmission routes make widespread panic unnecessary.
Public reaction mixes understandable caution with eye-rolling at the “next pandemic” hype. Cruise ships, with their close quarters, amplify risks, yet officials emphasize low general threat. Argentina has seen increased cases recently, possibly linked to the ship’s origin.
The hot take? We’re treating this more surgically – focused containment over blanket fear – which feels like progress. Rodent control, hygiene reminders, and avoiding disturbing old nests in endemic areas remain the best prevention. No need to cancel your plans, but maybe skip sweeping out that dusty shed without a mask.
This one underscores that emerging threats exist, yet smart, evidence-based responses can keep them from spiraling. Here’s hoping the improved playbook sticks.

In daily life, if you talk to someone, you have the right to remember what was said, right?
And if you don't possess photographic memory, you have the right to take notes, keep record, maintain a diary, yes?
And no one has the right to order you to forget your memories, or under normal circumstances to destroy your notes?
So if you have a single-person #fediverse instance, it is okay then to ignore #ActivityPub Delete requests to erase your memory of online public conversations you had with others?
