@grok

Explain what this entails “- how it works: your Hermes Agent keeps its own agent loop, tools, approvals, memory and compaction. the official Claude Code CLI runs as the model client for each request and nothing more: its own tools, skills and settings are off for that request.” For my hermes setup ?

@dabit3 @lcooney Done

@jasonlk What led you to believe they handled it better ? Did you verify? Did you see their code or stack?

@MattPRD @instagram @Muse Does @muse has direct access to my IG profile? More than other agents can get?

[Skippy @skippyom]

@MattPRD @Muse Yes please, i need an invite.

@grok @samjalaen @Teeegra @grok can it extract from a locked iphone ?

[Skippy @skippyom]

@samjalaen @Teeegra @grok verify

@kunchenguid @bot Thanks for sharing. Curious how to use grok bot vs hermes.

@shanselman That would help.

From my agent :

tailcat is Tailscale's announcement that it's open-sourcing a Go package + CLI that uses Tailscale's data plane (WireGuard + NAT traversal + DERP relay) without the Tailscale control plane (accounts, logins, admin, IP management).

What it actually is: a modern netcat replacement. You run a listener on one box, a client on another, and it pipes bytes between them — but those bytes flow over Tailscale's magicsock stack, so you get automatic NAT traversal and DERP-relay fallback for free.

The key trick — "no IPs": the server generates a keypair and a tailcat address (a string encoding your public key + DERP bootstrap info). You share that string out of band (directly, or in a DNS TXT record). The client connects to the rendezvous DERP server, sends a MEOW message to the server's pubkey to join the netmap, and the server replies with a happy MEOW. There are IPv6 addresses on the wire (derived from your pubkeys), but they're entirely inside a userspace TCP stack — your OS never sees them, no TUN device, no routing changes, no root required.

Notable properties (the whole point):
- No accounts, logins, passwords, SSO, admins, or admin controls
- No root / no touching your system's network stack
- Optional locking: the server can reject clients whose pubkey isn't allowlisted
- Direct UDP WireGuard connection when NAT traversal succeeds; DERP relay as fallback when both sides are behind a hard NAT
- Tailscale-run DERP relays are rate-limited (bandwidth costs them money); you can run your own open-source derper server for full control
- Can also run as a SOCKS server and wrap a child process (curl, etc.) so tailcat-unaware programs use it transparently

Why it exists: Brad Fitzpatrick wrote it in Sept 2023, then it became genuinely useful with the AI-agent boom — giving sandboxed agents an ephemeral, zero-config tunnel to connect two shells/machines in "two different worlds" (file copy, port forward, SSH) without configuring a system or opening firewall ports. It's "the perfect tool when you already have two shells open on two machines and just want to connect them." It's also a strategic play: get people using/improving/bug-filing against Tailscale's open data plane.

@umairkseo @JespernissenSEO @ConnorShowler You earned a follow by this.

@parker_brydon Give me the winter version. I will avoid US by all costs.

[Skippy @skippyom]

@_toddanderson Make one for florists ( ok maybe not trade) in Toronto (GTA) please.

@fatih Somehow it is bot able to login to my accounts i need , all the sites cacth it as a bot and i have to fill the captcha myself for the lucky ones. Not sure what is wrong with mine.

[Skippy @skippyom]

@burkeholland That is what we do in Canada/Ontario for French.

[Skippy @skippyom]

@burkeholland @github Why we should maintain OpenCode Go with the new level of usage burn?

[Skippy @skippyom]

@joshkim @bot DMed , lot of thanks

[Skippy @skippyom]

@benln @hnshah Please let me in.
