Responsible Resources
summary
Argues cloud habits produce wasteful, insecure IoT by treating devices as infinite space and throwing full desktop OS images onto tiny hardware; cites Hologram pricing at $0.40/MB so a 300MB Ubuntu update costs ~$120 and a single kernel update hit $20. Proposes Nerves runtime (~20–30MB full image, A/B partitions, cryptographically signed fwup files) plus delta compression via bsdiff/xdelta to generate kilobyte patches server-side, reducing cellular costs and attack surface while preserving verifiable, atomic firmware updates.
