Local-first? Offline-first? There is more to ditching The Cloud!
🍃 The leaf architecture describes apps that are:
Local
Encrypted
Autonomous
Federated -
@bert_hubert That’s a terrible user experience to gate key functionality of an appliance. We need leaf computing as policy. Smart home devices should be required to be operable within the local network without external cloud dependencies.

The annual reminder of #LeafComputing’s relevance is today. https://leafcomputing.net/?ref=activitypub
Roblox, Snapchat, Venmo, HBO, Hulu, Reddit, CapitalOne, TMobile, AT&T, Signal, and hundreds of other apps are offline because AWS is offline.

My husband’s ability to participate in the smart home from Android is a primary motivation for trying Home Assistant. I want to make sure this works well for him first because I can tolerate papercuts.
Google Home support requires a fucking cloud service. In the year of our lard 2025. This is dumb. Apple Home gets this right. Google engineers should go watch my conference talk on leaf computing.

The organization behind the Matter smart home standard created the IoT Device Security Specification. Adoption would be a good baseline for Internet-connected smart devices.
However, the specification says nothing about the cloud services many smart home devices rely on.
• Can a customer support person see your security camera feed?
• Can a developer access the production database for your door lock?
The answer is yes for too many IoT products.

Smart doorbells shouldn’t have cloud services. #LeafComputing

Your security camera should not allow other people to spy on you, but that is what poorly designed Wyze cameras did—again.

A leaf architecture minimizes the risk of a cloud infrastructure misconfiguration exposing you by not relying on cloud infrastructure.

If you're looking for a smart home air filter, I recommend the Mila.
It doesn't use #LeafComputing, but it does now have HomeKit support. You can save $50 with HOMEKIT.
Mila is beautiful, quiet, has air quality sensors, adjusts automatically, and has a great pulsing white noise mode for sleeping if you're into that (I am). Filters are effective and reasonably priced.

Changing The Status Quo With Leaf Computing
https://nordicapis.com/changing-the-status-quo-with-leaf-computing/
"Below, we’ll explore what leaf computing enables and why API designers might want to incorporate more “offline-first” principles that grant clients more control over their data, processing, and state." -- #BillDoerrfeld

Tomorrow, I will give my *Intro to Leaf Computing* talk for a third and final time. https://nordicapis.com/events/platform-summit-2023/
Updated talk will be posted tomorrow at https://www.jeremiahlee.com/posts/leaf-computing/
I rehearsed this morning. I think it’s one of the best ideas I’ve ever presented. I don’t work professionally on Internet-connected hardware anymore, but I think about starting the “Mozilla of hardware” often. Maybe I should, but I don’t know if enough people would support it.

Ahead of @nordicapis Platform Summit in Stockholm in 2 weeks, Bill Doerrfeld interviewed me about what leaf computing enables and why some APIs should incorporate more offline-first principles that grant clients more control over their data, processing, and state.

I wrote Hue to voice my displeasure about its cloud service becoming mandatory for my home smart lights.
They replied it was to "advance security".
I replied: The most secure option is for my data to never leave the devices in my home. Duplicating my data to your servers and enabling your servers to remotely control devices my home inherently is less secure.
They politely told me to fuck off.
I will remove all Hue lights when I remodel.

@homeassistant I picked Hue products specifically because they did not require an external cloud dependency. I do not want control of or data about my home in someone else’s cloud. I hope Hue changes course…

As a former Fitbit employee who advocated unsuccessfully for #leafComputing, I endorse @noybeu’s complaints against Google Fitbit for numerous GDPR violations.

VanMoof’s demise has left e-bike owners worried that app-enabled functions may stop working.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/03/business/vanmoof-bankruptcy-ebikes.html
This is why we need leaf computing. Most of the bike’s app features do not need to be built with a cloud dependency.

@jadp @thingrex I want the cloud removed from most consumer IoT. #LeafComputing https://www.jeremiahlee.com/posts/leaf-computing/

Excited to be speaking at APIdays Helsinki June 5 & 6 about more secure, resilient, ecological IoT with Leaf Computing.
Apidays Helsinki is the Nordic edition of hugely popular global #APIdays events. The organizers are expecting 500+ participants and the speaker lineup is impressive with leaders from Nordea, OP Financial Group, VW, Deutsche Telekom, Fintraffic, AWS, and AT&T.
Hope to see some of you there!

If only there were a more secure technical architecture for smart cars… Oh wait, there is: https://www.leafcomputing.net #LeafComputing

The leaf software architecture creates smart products that are more secure, more resilient, and not at risk of becoming e-waste prematurely.
It describes software that utilizes local execution and data storage, autonomous functionality, and federated interoperability.
It benefits the user while reducing security risk liability and operational costs for the manufacturer.
Here is my #APICon talk introducing #LeafComputing with slides and annotated transcript:

Video of my talk should be posted next week by the conference. I will get my slides with transcript posted tomorrow. If you are an eager beaver, you can get a first preview at https://www.LeafComputing.net

I received the best compliment from an audience member after my #LeafComputing #APICon talk: “A new high bar—I didn’t even look at my phone once during your talk!”
-
Script for my #APICon talk is locked!
I am excited to share how #LeafComputing is a more secure, more resilient, more ecological, and more cost-effective alternative to #CloudComputing later this month.
The #IoT #InternetOfShit can become the #InternetOfShine.
