[sudo-discuss] YaCy in sudo room: I am inclined to set it up

[Anon195714]

The reason I'm (apparently uncritically;-) enthusiastic is that Anthony
& I are friends and we've discussed freedom & privacy issues
extensively.  He's a coder with serious smarts/skills/background, and he
walks his talk ferociously, so if he's endorsing something as a viable
privacy application, I trust his judgement.
