This is really cool.

It reminds me of the Edinburgh Decentralisation Index: an academically rigorous decentralization index that the university of Glasgow school of informatics devised to quanitfy the decentralization of cryptocurrencies:

The Edinburgh Decentralisation Index (EDI) studies blockchain decentralisation from first principles, archives relevant datasets, develops metrics, and offers a dashboard to track decentralisation trends over time and across systems.

You should give it a serious look. IMO, it would offer some insight into academically peer-reviewed ways of quantifying this kind of thing.

If you can use another method, disabling SSH entirely would do it. ;)

This is how Talos Linux achieves best-in-class security properties.

You’ve just hit the article limit with your free Sifted account.

Ok, ok. If you insist. I won’t read your article.

Why would you use this instead of Matrix FFS? Closed source and centralized.

I’d argue that FPTP is the real barrier. It makes it a FACT that we can only have two parties.

I used to keep a list of repos to pull onto my NAS in case they someday went closed source. I use “mr” for it. It worked great. I had it on a systemd timer.
