Bitchat too?

In time we'll see. I haven't evaluated it yet. Need to.

Looks like bitchat is at the very early prototype phrase. It's not quite a venture or a true competitor to anything (yet). Hopefully it grows to threaten Signal and Briar. Soon, perhaps.

Solid list.

Setting up a home server in the coming days/months. Why Start 9 over Umbrel? Umbrel is appealing because of UI for the rest of the family.

Start9 is open source.

Humble submission for the 2026 list: #ReticulumNetwork

Hopefully a user facing implementation will be available to evaluate in 2026.

Yeah, it’s a little early. Time for devs to jump in. There are some user apps but they’re a bit tinkerer/dev focused:

Ark is so private I can’t even google it and find it

Where do you find Ark?

Thanks! Saw that they are obvioisly still in an early Phase of development, right? No App ready etc ready to use yet.

Solid stack! Curious on how to use Ark for payments? Is it a wallet?

I'm stoked about Proto unlocking:

A. Cambrian explosion of innovation and competition at the open source fleet layer

B. Geopolitical competition for mining tech and infra supremacy
