<p>Not sure if this counts fully as 'distributed' here, but we (Authentik Security) help many companies self-host authentik multi-region or in (private cloud + on-prem) to allow for quick IAM failover and more reliability than IAMaaS.<p>There's also "identity orchestration" tools like Strata that let you use multiple IdPs in multiple clouds, but then your new weakest link is the orchestration platform.</p>

<p>A PBC is just a for-profit company that has _some_ sort of specific mandate to benefit the "public good" - however it chooses to define that.

<p>This is exactly our thinking with authentik (open source IdP), and it's played out in practice so far. Enterprise sales conversations are so much easier when they start with "we all use you in our homelabs already." We're much more focused on giving those individual users a positive early experience (in hopes that some small percentage will really pay off down the road) than in extracting a few dollars from each of them.</p>

<p>Banana For Scale | US | REMOTE (anywhere) | Founding Engineer<p>Seeking a developer with Three.js/WebGL experience to help build a new project from the ground up. Bonus points if you have played around with Gaussian splatting or other radiance field techniques, have experience in C/C++ or computer vision.<p>Banana For Scale (working title) allows anyone to record any space, then edit it in 3D. Think Matterport + Polycam for interactive space design.<p>I am currently looking for my first hire, initially as a paid contractor so that we can both test out working together. Ideally this would move to a much larger full-time role as part of the founding team. You don't have to be experienced or interested in management, but you should be comfortable with self-directed work.<p>I previously founded Hunter2 (YC18), scaled to $1M ARR in < 2 years with a team of three before acquisition. I would like to stay deeply involved in the tech development for this project, but someone with the right experience and 100% focus on coding could speed up our efforts 20x.<p>To apply, use <a href="https://forms.gle/oCp1X3Mc5xfwqboBA" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://forms.gle/oCp1X3Mc5xfwqboBA</a></p>

<p>Thank you! For those who missed that one: <a href="https://github.com/everythingishacked/Semaphore">https://github.com/everythingishacked/Semaphore</a><p>To me, the main motivation beyond "because I can" is the accessibility of these projects: you just need some Python code and any webcam. I'd <i>love</i> to play around more with VR, but the owners of the leading systems aren't exactly known for their openness to external APIs... Maybe Google Cardboard is worth a revisit :)</p>

<p>Pretty well from my limited testing! For standing poses, it works roughly as well as a human in good lighting and contrast conditions - as in, in situations where <i>you</i> would have a hard time picking out where limbs are, Mediapipe will too. The more common issue is poor lighting, or clothing that blends into a busy background.</p>
