Net Neutrality 1991-2017

A project log for "Lixie", an LED alternative to the Nixie Tube

Always jealous of people who could afford big Nixie Tubes, I rolled my own alternative with WS2812Bs and laser cutting!

Net Neutrality is dead in the US for the time being. This means ISPs will be free to throttle or restrict content at their own commercial will, and has set a very bad precedent for the rest of the world.

This means that in the future you might not be able to access the Tindie store to purchase Lixies without paying [what will probably be a lot] extra, at least from within the United States.

Anybody have an idea of circumventing this yet so that I can keep my job? Any chance VPNs become illegal in the future? Any insane-scale and awful-but-not-comcast-awful mesh network of routers forming new internets?

Ugh.
