What tech if any have you found interesting lately?

What tech concerns if any do you have as of late?

Mine:

  • concerned about the google web DRM. I've been digging into android and trying to give stock android a chance again but the DRM stuff makes me want to jump over to iOS for tap to pay + carplay and Graphene/Calyx for my daily internet usage. Android added a builtin ad ID to their phones which makes me pretty uncomfortable.
  • Decentralized Tech, like Radicle, Gitopia, Mango for Git and Ethereum DApps (again). Feels like there is a lot of good that can be done but anything I'd build with ethereum I'd really want to disambiguate from the culture of scam/scam coins. The notion that most successful platforms today are ones people can make a career off of like being an influencer isn't lost on me and I think ethereum offering ways to maybe appeal to that is good.
  • IPFS (interplanetary file system). Love the idea but can't seem to find a good entry point or an easy way to discover content and really understand how a consumer would user this outside of an app providing that contex/gateway for it to connect to
  • Nim Programming language: I love that it looks and reads like lisp/python but compiles like C. I feel like I adopted docker because python and nodejs weren't portable binaries.

Mine is all about my ideals in programming/life:

  • rust, because I love type system
  • i2p, the true decentralization network with privacy preserving feature built in

i2p

That is pretty cool, haven't heard of that one yet. What do you think of the exit nodes? That is usually where my problem lies with a lot of the networks I've seen. I don't want to be left holding the bag for some criminal to exit via my ISP for example.

By default, it doesnt have one. Everything exists only inside of the i2p network.
