  • Tailscale uses wireshark, which is peer-to-peer. Their “free” plan allows you to set up a network using their “coordination” server, which simplifies administration of your tailnet.

    You control dns, exit nodes, etc, so tailscale isn’t involved with the vpn itself, hence no speed limits.

    You ultimately determine what tailscale collects as far as client logging.

    If you block client logging, Tailscale may not be able to provide technical support.

    I imagine the docker image serves to eliminate tailscale from the equation.

    ETA: there are quite a few ad-blocking dns servers.

    I currently use nextdns.io








  • In a nutshell TLP’s default settings are optimized for battery life upon installation, allowing you to further tweak/adjust to your needs. Whereas acpitool analyzes, but doesn’t optimize without your input.

    As for notifications, I don’t believe either package provides them, especially since they’re both cli tools (TLP has a gui, TLPUI)

    As for notifications, a bash script similar to this would work:

    ac_adapter=$(acpi -a | cut -d' ' -f3 | cut -d- -f1) if [ "$ac_adapter" = "on" ]; then notify-send "AC Adapter" "The AC Adapter is on." else notify-send "AC Adapter" "The AC Adapter is off." fi
