Invite any user to any tailnet, thanks to some recent updates for GitHub tailnets (and a little behind-the-scenes milestone) https://tailscale.com/blog/invite-anyone-and-we-mean-anyone
No, really: Invite anyone to your tailnet

Right around the turn of the new year, we rolled out a little update to our user invite system. The change: you can now invite people who don't authenticate through GitHub to join a tailnet owned by a user who does.

But it also reflects a bigger milestone — we were finally able to remove the "limitations" section from our "Invite any user" documentation.

When I am mayor of NYC I will consolidate the library system. It doesn’t make sense to have different systems!

Made a random drive by pull request today to improve #rustlang and #macos integration. CoreWLAN makes it possible to toggle wifi programmatically.
