3·13 days agoI despise Pournelle, his shitty conservatism always shines through his writing. But I will admit that The Mote in God’s Eye is a good novel, no doubt in large part thanks to Niven.
Another decent first contact novel is Learning the World: a Scientific Romance by Ken MacLeod.
Worm by Wildbow, 10/10 all the way through, which is incredible given it’s 7000 pages and written by an indie author.

If that’s the case though I’ll probably go for Tailscale despite the fact that I prefer the open source nature of Netbird, and that’s because Tailscale is just more reliable and mature in my experience. It feels like Netbird might be pushing too many new features (like the reverse proxy) before their core features are finished.
I’m warming up to the idea of using some sort of RDP software. I saw that Anydesk is proprietary, do you have any experience with Rustdesk? I’ll do some research.
Thank you (and everyone else who has responded)!

That’s really cool!
There is an unfortunate lack of female authors in this thread so I will post two recommendations:
