Leaf Computing: The Future Beyond Cloud?
summary
Argues that replacing cloud dependence with a locally executed + autonomous + Federated stack fixes outages, privacy and e‑waste: cites a 120s Fitbit upload timeout, a Garmin ransom blackout of five days, and AWS US‑East outages lasting ~seven hours; demonstrates a concrete redesign of an air purifier that runs a Progressive Web App via Zeroconf, uses WebRTC for peer‑to‑peer remote access, runs local models with TensorFlow.js/WebAssembly, pushes notifications with the Web Push API and collects telemetry privately with PRIO.
