Corporate VPN startup Tailscale secures $230 million CAD Series C on back of “surprising” growth

Pennarun confirmed the company had been approached by potential acquirers, but told BetaKit that the company intends to grow as a private company and work towards an initial public offering (IPO).

“Tailscale intends to remain independent and we are on a likely IPO track, although any IPO is several years out,” Pennarun said. “Meanwhile, we have an extremely efficient business model, rapid revenue acceleration, and a long runway that allows us to become profitable when needed, which means we can weather all kinds of economic storms.”

Keep that in mind as you ponder whether and when to switch to self-hosting Headscale.

Crockford is a good and smart person but he really dropped the fucking ball on JSON.

Double-quotes-only and no comments kill the whole spec for me. Extremely opinionated and dumb. I fucking hate JSON.

My boss once sent me a machine generated config. He's terminally addicted to double-quotes (like, a fatal condition). I searched and there were 27k sequences of \".

Edit: my point is - all that compute and network wasted, every single time the file is requested and parsed. Completely pointless waste
