For TLS over UDP there's DTLS [0] which is probably still problematic for your use case since it still requires the typical TLS handshake.

afics··on Innernet: open source Rust based Tailscale alternative
Aye, noted. Do you support the case where nodes can not talk directly to each other and relaying is required?
afics··on Innernet: open source Rust based Tailscale alternative
I know about those. Since the whole point of innernet is making wireguard configuration simpler, I figured maybe integrating something like that is worth doing.

This looks great!

Is a TCP mode planned? This would be useful for networks where outbound UDP isn't allowed. (hotel wifi, other public wifis)

Do you plan to add automatic key rollover/expiry?

afics··on IPv6 Support for Amazon S3
At vultr you have the option to "bring your own ip", as they call it. This really just allows you to use BGP to announce whatever prefixes you own. You could have a /40 behind each of your servers if you wanted to.
afics··on Ask HN: Email token service
Shameless self-plug.

If you are running postfix as your mail server, you could use something like [0] (or write your own solution, utilizing a database or whatever, of course).

Doesn't this do the same as $ rsync --inplace?

afics··on How Do You Approach Multi-Disk Arrays?
I'd use zfs (consider freenas as your os, i like it) with raid-z3 (triple-parity, thus 3 drives may fail w/o data loss) on the remaining 7 drives. You then may use zfs snapshots + replication to the other machine or just use a cron job to wol the backup machine and simply run rsync at a certain interval.
