Which I guess is what iCloud private relay solves. But only if you pay.

They specifically mention targeting 1-7B models and that this means fine tuned hyper specific models, not general purpose.

At one point with http only your isp could do its own cache, large corporate it networks could have a cache, etc. which was very efficient for caching. But horrible for privacy. Now we have CDN edge caching etc but nothing like the multi layer caching that was available with http.

The thing with OpenShift (https://github.com/okd-project/okd) is you can set it up, and then run basically one command (oc new-app .) to push almost any app to Kubernetes. All bells and whistles included.

We don't have a national ID here in the US. Passports can be quite expensive. Local state ID cards don't prove citizenship.

To set this up, you have to scan the chip on your passport. Its essentially the same data on both chips, one is just in my phone's enclave and the other is in an embedded NFC chip.

How does this apply to a digital version of an official government ID? The government already has all this data.

As someone who self hosted bare metal Kubernetes on my own rack, it's a lot of work to get it set up. We used RedHat Openshift which has a pretty good solution out of the box, but the learning curve was relatively high.

That being said, once it was set up, there was not a lot of maintenance. Kubernetes is quire resilient when set up properly, and the cost savings were significant.

A lot of web frameworks etc do most of the instrumentation for you these days. For instance using opentelemetry-js and self hosting something like https://signoz.io should take less than an hour to get spun up and you get a ton of data without writing any custom code.

You can just send metrics via JSON to any otlphttp collector: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-proto/blob/v...
