[As for](/tdro/messages/compliance/#tdro-messages-compliance) my biased opinion.. Everyone _should_
consider {{< abbr foss "free and open source software" >}} and
[switch key systems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adoption_of_free_and_open-source_software_by_public_institutions)
to Linux and [BSD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Software_Distribution)
for redundancy. That'd be wonderful, even if circumstances eventually optimize
towards a futuristic catch 22.

I'm reluctantly coming around to the idea that
{{< abbr spofs "single point of failures" >}} are a
[balancing act](https://collections.artsmia.org/art/72699/lequilibre-europeen-honore-daumier)
of sorts. Balance, as in misery loves company, convenience, insurance, and blame
ability. The combined legal, technical, and economic consensus unwittingly
incentivizes hardcore centralization.
