thundersnap 0.01: an undo button for everything

Happy July 4th! For those of us around the world contemplating independence, it's a good day to think about how we came to rely on expensive cloud infrastructure for our fundamental computing needs.

With that in mind, here is my latest toy project: an open source tool that makes replicating, forking, sharing, and running container snapshots fast and easy across cloud and personal devices.

It's fun to play with, especially on bare metal hardware you run at home, or rent from a provider like Hetzner or OVH. Or, because it uses Tailscale, why not all of them in a single mesh?

There's a lot more to say but I don't have time right now. Details are in the README.

I will say this: humans and AI agents both want the same things when they're trying to get work done. Ephemeral containers aren't really it. But how about unlimited disk space, fast CPUs, an undo button, and the ability to move to whatever provider offers the best hardware at the best price? That's more like it.
