Great insight & nice read! Thanks

It’s wild to me that anyone would agree to go on a work trip where they are expected to share the room where they are sleeping. What an insane thing from a company to want.

So they want to save a few bucks for which I am expected to trade not just my privacy but also my good night rest (who knows if one of us snores) against a few dollars of profit margin for my employer?

If they cannot afford sending me on a business trip they probably shouldn’t do so.

What kind of company are doing so?

I recall Sun doing this in the late 90s

I think part of it is the idea that getting to travel for work (site visit, conference, convention, etc) is a perk. It’s madness.

AFAIK spice just has been succeeded, i forget for what exactly but after the switch everything was better one worked out it the box. I think for virtIO…

Apparently you have not solved the problems of how to find the right group and company yet. Either you are in the wrong room or just delusional.

Absolutely. At several startups, getting a simple €20–50/month Hetzner server meant rounds with leadership and a little dance with another department to hand over a credit card. With AWS, leadership suddenly accepted that Ops/Dev could provision what we thought was right. It isn’t logically compelling, but that’s why the cloud gained traction so quickly: it removed friction.

That's not a startup if you can't go straight to the founder and get a definite yes/no answer in a few minutes.

Could take ipv6 ages to have this standardised and rolled out the most parts of the internet and IOT. Might make sense to do now if you want to be able to shut down that last non PQ safe tls device in the year 2050?

They're saying WebPKI, which mean basically web browsers can more or less push this through on their evergreen release schedule when it becomes necessary.

PKI for everything else can go at their own pace

But this implies that any small plastic home router using libCurl can fetch its updates via PQ safe https?

The control of the supreme court as well as the demonstrated willingness to support a coup make the threat seem real.

That's also the user experience on Mac OS and iOS. No drivers needed, just connect it to the WiFi once (using the buttons on the device) and it just works.
