Netbird vs. Tailscale (lemmy.world)

As I'm prepping my self-hosted setup I wanted to know the community's thoughts on Netbird, the FOSS and completely self hosted alternative to Tailscale. I often hear Tailscale used as a super easy plug and play way to share your home server contents with other people, so how does Netbird fair in comparison? Is it as easy? Is it a more buggy experience, more complicated, or does it just work? Any pros and cons, or niche edge case situations I should know about? Thanks in advance!

Headscale the self-hosted server is unofficially but decently supported by tailscale the company. They employ the dev and don’t seem to be trying to kill the project or mess with it much.

Probably because they're smart and realise the people who self host probably wouldn't spend money on tailscale, and those who'd buy tailscale subscriptions wouldn't have the time/resources to self host it. Win win.
