I actually don't think it does mean something else. iliana is quite technical; I would imagine that they relate to other technical folk. I have little network services I've shared with friends before, perhaps they do something similar.
- renewiltord 5y agoOh, so like analogous to the polyamory notion of sharing partners, this is about sharing software/infra with other people. To be clear, not alleging it wasn't technical. The polyamory <-> shared services thing just wasn't obvious to me since I was unfamiliar with the term.
- titanomachy 5y agoI believe that the author is literally polyamorous, has a community of romantic partners that they refer to as a "polycule", and wishes to operate a VPN exclusively for members of that community. I don't think it's meant as a metaphor.
- renewiltord 5y agoOh! Well, can't say that's my proudest moment. Thanks for explaining!

- renewiltord 5y agoHaha well, in defence of the site, it’s literally just me who got it wrong. Other people downvoted my initial comment because it must have been obvious to them. I have to say I was a little afraid at the end that I might have inadvertently offended someone. This is a better outcome in comparison.
- Handytinge 4y agoI had also never heard this term, and now think the author is kind of a prick, given the rude and dismissive nature. It's ok to not be part of someone elses clique and not know all their terminology!
- cassianoleal 5y agoDefinitely not just you. This thread is how I came to understand what it was too.
