Look, I think Yarvin is a psychopath as much as the next reasonable human, but let's be clear - Urbit is garbage on technical grounds.
The terminology is a shell game of confusion and deliberate obfuscation. They pretend that it's a network, and a server, and a virtual machine, and an operating system, but it isn't any of these things -- you still need to provide all of them yourself.
It's just a program that sits on top of all your "real" infrastructure, that then emulates its own shittier "make believe" infrastructure, where you're expected to pay for shitty fake IPv4, shitty fake DNS, and are expected to write UDP applications in an esoteric programming language.
That's it.
There is absolutely nothing redeemable here. Please just let this tire fire of a project die the lonely, obscure death it deserves already.
