Rob Pike explains this manifesto in several videos available on YouTube: [VIDEO] It's a fascinating talk. I really enjoyed it. I hope you do too!
Read original comment ↗If you want to see more on this theme, the Upspin docs[1] are a really interesting read. This 2017 talk[2] that Rob Pike gave on it is also really good. [1] [LINK] [2] [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗"Encrypt, store, share [files] on your own terms" is elegantly handled by (Rob Pike's) Upspin. Practically: upspinfs fusermounts a cloud storage bucket. (TCO: $0.01/GB/mo.) Transparent public-key crypto. Sharing is built into the protocol. Sane defaults. [LINK] [VIDEO] Building notes on top feels almost too straightforward to monetize. (For that matter: 1password, any number of small-scale B2C things, ...)
Read original comment ↗other commenters have mentioned ipfs, dropbox, syncthing, etc. but this most closely resembles [LINK] with the caveat that willow is p2p and upspin uses a centralized key server [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗This saddens me because I think the concept behind Upspin is powerful. Is it really that much of a resource drain to drop the key server? I imagine it could run on a $10/mo VPS. This is the talk that introduced Upspin: [VIDEO]
