1. foss, p2p-only, no server or intermediate nodes to trust (rayfish)
2. foss, brokered if necessary with all nodes self-hosted (openziti, nebula, some wireguard variants)
3. non-foss, mix of p2p and brokered, host some of the nodes yourself (openvpn, myriad of wireguard variants/wrappers like tailscale, headscale, netbird, netmaker)
my instinct is open source is part of the answer. the market monetizes with differentiation on the open source base, support, hardware, etc. vibrant enough market = the foss is secure (always a relative term) and continues to evolve, partially paid for by the companies who are monetizing
Absolutely. Easier said than done, but the best security is structural security - as near to invisible for end users as possible. This needs to be the goal, imo, even if not fully achievable.
>Nobody is going to mass-produce a 50-year-old oak. And nobody is going to conjure trust, or quality, or community out of a weekend sprint.
absolutely although i wonder how different 'trust' is in the culture of tomorrow? will it 'matter' as much, be as cherished, as earned over the fullness of time?
i suspect it is a pendulum - and we are back to oak trees at some point - but which way is the pendulum swinging right now?
>The Rowan County Commission meeting included a rare sight, County Chair Greg Edds standing in front of the dais addressing the audience after public comment (something he had never done in his 12 year history according to the article).
articles like this makes me wonder - does the "AI" in "AI data center" amplify concerns beyond 'normal' concerns around commercial and residential real estate development projects?
on one hand, i feel it is partially the media reporting on it more than in the past, but then these articles and anecdata about meetings like this across the country make me feel there may be other differences?
note - in the article, the data center wasn't even on the agenda, nor is a deal in place and yet the unprecedented discussion:
>“I want to be clear about this, so watch my lips. There is no data center deal,” Edds said. “We have made no offers on any data centers. No data centers have made any offers to us. We are not speaking to any data centers.”
+ asking you (prompting the human?) to keep the convo going in very specific ways
+ seemingly more personalization each day
both unfortunately crowd out the long tail which LLMs might otherwise help us explore, but of course the algorithms prefer putting us in positive feedback loops in echo chambers we like (and are conditioned to like)
i wonder if we will see a materially larger number of brackets filled this year than the recent trajectory would indicate (as a very coarse indicator of agent-filled brackets).
n=1 but they help me hit flow states. almost like they provide 'context' before x, helping me to 'prepare' (or be ready?), filter out the noise, focus. similar in group setting - shared context.
i suppose could be 'placebo' but would it matter if the result is what i want, and i can't easily attain it other ways?
i do feel it is somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy - i am essentially practicing something so getting better at it. not enough reason though to 'practice' an alternative, at least for me personally.
what i meant is this may be a good real world litmus test. i dont claim to know if there are differences or not between her word and actions - i have not followed her closely. but i always like 'tests' like this for heads of media orgs as free speech (Free Speech) imo needs to be the backbone of those orgs
we'll need more facts but if there is substance to this then the reaction from Bari Weiss (now cbs news editor-in-chief and a long-time public advocate of free speech) and team will be interesting.

why is #3 so much more popular?
