I really liked the premise of the post until I got to the last paragraph and had to do a quick double take.

Sure Tailscale makes the internet easier again, but I still have to rely on a landlord. Something I didn’t/don’t have to for the internet. As much as a lot of stuff has been centralized, even today I can connect to any server in the world with just the link.

This is a very good point. Counterpoint is self-hosting Headscale which I mentioned in another comment here: https://github.com/juanfont/headscale

Works with native Tailscale clients with a few config changes. I use it myself.
