(2017) should probably be added to the title. Really enjoyed this and noticed the published date after I read it.

How are these transactions conducted? If I wanted to buy some IPv4 and an ASN, where would I go and how much would, say, a /28 cost me?
I can't speak to how all transactions are conducted, but there are auctions on one marketplace, IPv4 Global auctions, with cost per IP in the $50-60 range https://auctions.ipv4.global/. I also really enjoyed Flyio's blog post about acquiring addresses https://fly.io/blog/32-bit-real-estate/

What about zerotier for an alternative? Seems to have a bit more market and mindshare (and thus perhaps continuity).
ZeroTier is certainly another viable alternative, but their self hosted option still relies on the ZeroTier root servers (you can self-host roots, but they don't support removing theirs [1]), and their licensing for the self hosted product is more restrictive than something like netmaker.

This is very cool!
Have you considered something like Tailscale so you can securely access it from outside your home? I've been thinking about spinning up my own home server that way, seeing as Tailscale makes it easy to securely access it from my phone when I'm out and about.
I just stumbled on a self hosted project similar to tailscale: https://github.com/gravitl/netmaker. There is also https://github.com/juanfont/headscale which is an open sourced implementation of the Tailscale coordination server. Tailscale "just works" and makes things incredibly easy for personal use, but it's awesome that there are also similar self-hosted options out there

This link is behind a Google account wall so I can't access it. Is there a summary available, or an alternative link?
Here is a screenshot of the issue as of time of posting. Forgive the zoom, the UI has a iframe scroll which isn't very capture friendly. https://i.imgur.com/hS8jBzw.png

Understandable yet totally absurd. Can you imagine if your bank had the same requirement?
At least one US investment banks I've used require a waiting period before transacting with a newly added account/routing number for wires/ACH. I've even got calls from customer service manually confirming transfers/withdrawals if it's a new account or one that's been unused for a long period of time.
That said, there is no waiting period on me withdrawing from my checking account.
I use RSS daily with Miniflux. Tiny Tiny RSS is another popular self hosted option and there are a number of freemium platforms like Feedly & Inoreader. I prefer to self host primarily for cost/no ads or tracking/private data. It's true that social media platforms don't support it but that's never been my personal use case - every news site or discussion group I like to keep up with has a feed and it's worked great for me.
Regarding auth, I absolutely bought to JWT cool-aid but honestly if you're still on the monolith phase just use the most popular auth framework for your language. JWT adds a lot of complexity and room for misconfiguration, you do get something in return of course - it is stateless (hence scalable), works great with microservices, and improves your security model somewhat by separating issuing from verification. But you do have to pay for it, expiry gets tricky, the client code gets trickier, permissions get trickier. For most people it just isn't worth it
We are going through this currently. Have a large new system going in which relies on OAuth and JWTs and our IAM team is now spending a lot of time & energy with the developers on all of the use/edge cases with tokens, expiry, security, and whether the code should be in the client or the server. In the end it'll work out, but I completely agree that grabbing the most popular auth framework for your language will save a lot of headaches in the vast majority of cases.
