The future of the money-web is on the edge. But the money web is for corporate persons, not human persons. Humans will continue to use a single server somewhere on earth. Let's not get cargo-cult'y here.
- bitwize 4y agoCounterexample: Kiwi Farms, which transitioned to a distributed hosting setup across a variety of providers after the recent Kerfuffals. But that was more to avoid a single point of failure than to mitigate latency concerns. And yes, efforts are ongoing to identify and punish the hosting providers involved, their principals, and their principals' families.
