> But your last sentence "Electric utilities did not end up ruling the world" really struck me. It's a great point, and TBH I don't really actually know why electric utilities didn't end up becoming more powerful. Time for me to go research the early history of electrification.

I have for a while theorized that transport is what causes an (undue) aggregation of power. Cheap mass shipping was needed for the current industrial globalization to even work. Cheap communication is what gave rise to the internet giants we have today, and the power structures in general.

Transport of energy, especially electricity, is still relatively expensive, and so a distributed structure is naturally preferred. This, along with the ability to produce it in a more-or-less decentral way of course.

If we one day figure out really-cheap transport of electricity, I'm 100% sure it would only take quite a short time for a few global companies to stomp out all the competition.

Parship used to do this (not sure about their current practices, this was years ago): I once had a six-month subscription that would automatically extend by a year if you didn't cancel at least three months in advance (by letter or fax!). Especially dodgy in that line of business, because if you get lucky shortly before subscription runs out, you're literally giving away a year's worth of subscription that you're not going to use at all.

Technically yes, legally no, with a few exceptions for military and special operations. Most airspaces are TMZ (transponder mandatory zone).

Deadline Oriented Programming.

My greatest misunderstanding before getting it to work was that Wireguard uses the `AllowedIPs` setting both for defining which source IPs to allow, and also for routing traffic back. Means you can't have multiple peers on your machine with the same set of `AllowedIPs` - you need to configure each separately with their exact IP address.

Since WireGuard doesn't do NAT hole punching etc, you'd most likely need to connect from work to your network, and use the `PersistentKeepalive` setting. You can't initiate the connection the other way round.

Thanks a lot! Just fixed that line.
