Totally, I’m a happy customer, but completely relying on Tailscale for out-of-band SSH doesn’t sit right with me, especially for personal machines. One ban and poof, you can’t access your own servers.

And to be honest, I understand the appeal of not having to muck around with the system, but SSH isn’t that cumbersome once you’ve set up your /etc/hosts, and encrypt your id_rsa files. Couldn’t get any easier than `ssh <machine>`.
