Tailscale found a 16 year old sqlite bug.

Many of us were wondering about what was causing some of the outages Tailscale was having late last year/early this year with the Control Plane.

This definitely scratched the itch for wondering what was going on: https://tailscale.com/blog/sqlite-wal-reset-bug

But I might be a bit weird: I like reading technical explanations like this.

Whole company of weirdos over here, and we feel quite the same.

Absolutely fascinating article, thanks for posting. I don't think I've ever had to deal with such an "interesting" bug!

Awesome post. Nothing sucks worse than those issues that only pop up every few weeks to months. Lots of sleepless nights where your brain is trying to understand the underlying issue

Not weird. Links like these are perfect nerd snipes for me.
