Since we now face a threat of large-scale de-anonymization, a reasonable countermeasure might be using AI to make one's writing style less personally identifying, in order to try and retain some pseudonymity.

I think the point is that if the same shooters had only more 'normal' guns available to them, they would not have been able to cause nearly as much death and injury before being stopped.

I'm really thinking mostly about the hardware part here, and maybe just enough layers of the stack to feel like an integrated hardware setup. Let the nerds play with whatever software they want above that.

To go ahead and dream a bit:

I'd hope for an online configurator like the one SoftIron's HyperCloud has [1] but instead of "talk to a sales rep", show a price for what you just configured, like you're configuring a macbook.

Relatedly, there should be a standard rack form factor in the size category of NUCs and Mac Minis, rather than having to go all the way to the 19 inch monster racks that medium to large businesses use. If it were nailed down to the point of being able to blind mate (just learned that term from Oxide's article here!) gear into it, that would be kind of perfect.

This all has me wondering, if I just want to play with stuff in this space as an individual homelabber who earns a tech salary and wants a nicely designed rack-mounted alternative to a mess of unorganized NUCs and cables and whatnot, what are my best options?

thanks, that's a good answer, and more nuanced than I'd realized things had gotten in this space

I recall hearing that Google and Bing have a nearly insurmountable lead in terms of raw ability to index the web, and that all other "alternative" search engines are using Google and/or Bing under the hood. Is this the case for Kagi? Or is Kagi actually maintaining and drawing upon their own independent index?

1.27 hasn't been released yet.

Looking back at the previous release, 1.26, for comparison, we have this post, published a few weeks before 1.26 was released:

The release announcement, made on the day of the 1.26 release, highlighted the new stuff:

According to this article, 80 is the upper end of bids they're reporting; the lower end is 60 cents on the dollar.
