Can see missing the issue in review, especially wrt to the huge PR diff. But this should have been integration tested - both for entropy and proper library symbols.

Reviewing AI generated code - it's a travesty that ignorance of the underlying technology on the part of the "viber" is both hidden from themself and also so obvious in a PR.
Reviews increasingly become about social skills in deconstructing ego instead of debating technical implementations on their merits. Find myself lacking the former.
Learning anything new is painful and reading documentation is necessary in know what questions to ask; to others, to yourself or to an AI.

At last, some clarity is emerging out of the fog. It's time to burn the boats.
After quite some time navigating "unemployment", I've come to the realization that I can't go back to abominable world of LinkedIn, corporate bullshit, selling my time, attention and interest for somebody else's "vision", profit or "opportunity". I'm unemployed primarily because some aspect of my soul knows this and won't even allow myself to entertain that world anymore.
Taking the last months reskilling myself toward working in Bitcoin and FOSS, on technologies and projects I actually *enjoy* and believe have meaningful impact for the world, I've been teetering on the brink of fear of stepping into the unknown. What if it doesn't pan out? What if I'm not good enough?
Over the last days, a realization is beginning to dawn. I can't go back to that world. It's soul-killing and if that is ignored, likely body killing as well. I don't know how I'll eventually be able to earn an income, or what I might even end up working on, but I can't go back. And as I've taken my long-delayed baby steps into uncertainty, encouragement and support has shown up in the form of free community support / training programs, inspiring community members and project opportunities. There's so much to learn, so much to be interested in, it's overwhelming. But it's time to throw myself into this world fully and stop puttering around, entertaining the possibility of a backup plan from some LinkedIn recruiter.
Even if I have to start selling my Bitcoin to pay the bills, even if it means starting at the bottom again, with unfamiliar, yet exciting, technologies and projects. Life is meant to be lived and there is no life for me in that LinkedIn, opportunistic, narcissistic world of self promotion that passes for status-quo company culture.
It's time to burn the boats.
I'm writing this primarily for myself, to mark this moment of clarity, for when I might need to look back on it.

Incredibly well put. Helps to recognize how lack of feedback over long, remote software engineering projects can contribute to a build up of dissatisfaction with "work". Always unconsciously compared and contrasted that effect against experience in construction -- build a wall in a day, something exists that didn't exist before, appreciate a tangible monument of progress and let it all go when work is over.

Nice post! What do you think about the theory that Jesus actually traveled to study in Egypt during his early adulthood?

GM. Here's to interestedly following fate and letting problems solve themselves.
Started reading Man's Search for Meaning by Victor E. Frankl, an Auschwitz survivor and psychotherapist, a student of Freud. It's a true inspiration toward surrendering to one's fate, to recognizing that suffering *is* consciousness, and finding honor and purpose in "being worthy of one's suffering".

Nice write up! Haven't used Tailscale yet, but I've been thinking about trying it out. A few questions:
1. With Tailscale, can you share more about how it relies on a third party? For authentication?
2. How does the problem your addressing with Holesail.io compare to those addressed by cloudflared and ngrok? By using AWS as a proxy for public internet traffic, is that a similarly centralizing factor?
