I'd love to see/read that talk if you happen to youtube it or write it up.

  No, it was neither recorded nor transcribed. Some of my observations on complexity were touched upon in this interview, however: https://console.dev/interviews/rsync-john-kozubik/ https://console.dev/interviews/rsync-john-kozubik/ Specifically: "rsync.net has no firewalls and no routers. In each location we connect to our IP provider with a dumb, unmanaged switch. This might seem odd, but consider: if an rsync.net storage array is a FreeBSD system running only OpenSSH, what would the firewall be ? It would be another FreeBSD system with only port 22 open. That would introduce more failure modes, fragility and complexity without gaining any security." ... and I recommend these console.dev interviews in general - they're usually very interesting.
