It's no different from traditional VPNs. The tailnet admin has control over the routes that are exposed to clients and ACLs are available to further limit access. It's an overlay network, it doesn't magically give you access to user space on people's laptops.
> Nobody I know is leaving a $70k a year job to take a sabbatical.
I took my first sabbatical at 25, with only a few years in the industry, making a lot less and I think $35k in the bank. Everyone told me I was crazy putting a gap in my CV, spending savings, etc. but I did anyway.
It was easily the best two years of my life, I travelled South America and Asia without a care in the world until the money was gone. Then I went back to work without an issue and have continued taking long periods off throughout my career. These days I'm a remote contractor, and even though I can and do work from anywhere I regularly still take months off at a time. I have a lot of savings too and a fully paid house in a country I love.
My point is that we create the anxiety for ourselves. A different lifestyle is possible if you make certain choices.
Something relatively easy you can try is to get your body into ketosis, where mental clarity and energy levels are greatly improved. While I don't think it's good for most people (it's a pretty antisocial diet) I'd jump right in in your situation.
It really was a matter of when. What real progress have we seen since people first experienced ChatGPT and the hype started? Investors have been very dumb throwing money on anything AI and they're starting to realize it.
This would be pretty normal in Europe, my dad went through the same and his job was never a concern. And treatment was fully covered by the public health system. Salaries reflect that of course, can't have it all.
Maybe it used to be, probably because the Castro and Guevara rebellion is a great story. But today I feel that everyone knows that it backfired and the country is in shambles due to terrible totalitarian leaders.
As an infra guy, it seems like all my biggest fights at work lately have been about quality. Long abandoned dependencies that never get updated, little to no testing, constant push to take things to prod before they're ready. Not to mention all the security issues that get shrugged off in the name of convenience.
I find both management and devs are to blame. For some reason the amazingly knowledgeable developers I read on here daily are never to be found at work.
Canonical in particular are no better, they do the exact same thing with that aberration called snap. They have brought entire clusters down before with automatic updates.
Interesting that I happened to transit 3 different Asian airports today and had zero issues. I haven't seen anything at all related to the outage over here.
Yeah, you're completely out of touch of the industry. As horrendous as it is Windows on Azure (and the entire ecosystem it comes with) is an easy sell for the dinosaur IT leaders that haven't seen a Linux server in their life. You'd be surprised how common that is.
