I like the idea of these features, but the "run this random shellscript from the internet" part really bugs me. Could / will you integrate it another way when it comes out of the nightly releases?

I think the title could be better worded to reflect the content of the article - It's about an "exist" strategy, not an "exit" strategy for startups and companies.

About being a "longtrepreneur" - being an entrepreneur but with the goal of staying.

Worth noting, similar things being done here: https://atlas.ripe.net with real-world examples (measurements from peoples home internet accounts, workplaces, etc - not 'sponsored' vms, not from some random data centre) and measuring just about anything (DNS and websites)

You can join, host a probe (get it sent to you, plug it in) and then run your own measurement tests based on the 'credits' you earn from having the probe running.

Same goes for "The Pacific" and probably "Europe". Very generic - depending on where the testing was actually done the results could vary a lot.

Why is it open to the internet?

Don't do that.

You say it was "behind your router" but I think you've specifically opened ports to your NAS (or you have some sort of NAT and the NAS has done it)

Restrict access (if you must open it to the internet, open to only specific IP addresses) or better yet disable it, and use an ssh port-forward if you really have to get to it.
