So, I lost it on the birdsite reading yet another ego-tripping security researcher pulling water to something they wrote two years ago about a concept developed in the 1980s.

This stuff whereby all old stuff is ignored and re-invented with more holes than the original (e.g. "cloud computing") is really demoralising.

Don't people read anything except stuff no more than one week old? Is "research" no longer taught?

@cynicalsecurity a stateless computing environment is pretty much what I'm working on at Lab Mouse and tbh 1) I had never heard of Olivette and 2) I didn't know Johanna ever released a paper on stateless systems. hehe

@donb you can ignore 2) but not the work Olivetti did. The whole design around VNC is far more than a simple "remote screen".
