Share your daemons with your peers
The ssh-ng store implementation allows connecting to remote daemons over ssh. However, between server management, key exchanges, and device discovery, SSH is not the most user friendly. Unfortunately ssh-ng is also the only store implementation for active remotes built into nix.
Let's ignore that fact and forward a remote daemon via P2P instead. Why would you do this? Does this work? And what can we learn from it?
This talk might answer any or all of that.
