Most teams treat access infrastructure as a config problem. The cost of that mistake shows up when something else breaks.

This is why local models must win. Cloud models refused to reverse-engineer Apple's RDMA protocol. DeepSeek and Nemotron said, "hold my beer". TBF, Nemotron needed KV Cache injection to comply lol. pic.twitter.com/z3l2azui7e— Ash Hart (@ashxhart) August 14, 2026

QCon London 2026: Kleppmann on Mitigating Europe's Cloud Dependency with Local-First Software
Europe is completely dependent on US cloud services, Martin Kleppmann told QCon London. His fix: commoditise everything. He walked through three technologies he's helped build: multi-cloud via de facto standards, Bluesky's AT Protocol for social media, and local-first software for collaboration, all designed to make switching providers trivial and shift power back to users.

A couple of days ago, exe.dev raised a lot of money1. I decided to poke around with it a little, and signed up. Their trial is 7 days long, so despite having no actual plans, I just started doing stuff. In doing so, I noticed a few interesting things that I thought were worth a quick writeup: I didn’t have to configure an SSH key to be able to ssh exe.dev. I could SSH to my VM despite not having a unique IP and no support for SNI in SSH. The GitHub Integration, which allowed me to clone private repositories, didn’t require any host-side configuration. The second item, SSH with non-unique IPs, despite SSH having no host header or SNI equivalent, is already covered by exe.dev themselves, so I won’t go through it here2. The other two, I want to run through quickly.

ATOM: AT Protocol Over MoQ Transport
This document specifies how the Authenticated Transfer (AT) Protocol can leverage Media over QUIC Transport (MOQT) for efficient data synchronization across decentralized social networks. The AT Protocol's firehose event stream and repository synchronization mechanisms map naturally to MOQT's publish/subscribe model, enabling scalable relay infrastructure, priority-based delivery, and improved resilience for large-scale social data distribution. This specification addresses the challenges of the current WebSocket- based transport and demonstrates how MOQT's relay architecture, group-based caching, and multiplexed streams provide significant benefits for AT Protocol deployments at scale.
Not that I'm at all against sovereign infrastructure, but it's quite interesting to see so much focus local, interoperable cloud infrastructure while interoperability remains taboo for individuals and communities. bsky.app/profile/chrisshank.com/post/3…

Ha obviously im glad there are incentives and investment in sovereign tech stacks! But let‘s not trick ourselves into believing swapping out tech giants with some new companies and regulations will suddenly fix everything.
