Just finished the Nord Stream Conspiracy and it was entertaining, gave a bunch of background I didn’t know about. Jumped back into the Phoenix Project, a book about DevOps, and a book I have to read in small bites because it stresses me out.

I run a Tailscale network on my devices and I use Mullvad exit nodes, I have found that to be an extremely frictionless setup especially running on my family’s iOS devices.

There are plenty of deep rooted problems with the current economy that I think makes it fragile- Among them, the fact that without data center buildout, the US would be in a recession.
So while your post makes perfect sense and I agree with all of it, I just don’t trust markets to follow the same laws of physics as the rest of the universe.
I use mullvad via Tailscale. It’s a little different as you don’t actually ever have anything to do with mullvad, you pay Tailscale for the service ($5) and then you are able to use mullvad vpn exit nodes. It took me a little while to figure out cause I kept looking at their mullvad website and thinking how on earth do I make them work together

More Everything Forever. Pretty good overview of the rationalist and effective altruism movements that have turned Silicon Valley and the AI industry into what it is today. I have heard the author say in interviews that a good alternative title is “These fucking people”.
