Great write-up! One extra detail that might be worth including in the block device/storage section is that Firecracker doesn't yet pass through discard (trim) from guest to host (as fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) if file-backed) like qemu?
The fast/efficient asynchronous io_uring backend now in released Firecracker makes it a good alternative for full-sized VMs as well as the original short-lived micro-VM use.
this will enhance accessibility to a vast number of people with disabilities. Also imagine reading your books/articles in voice of your favorite narrator.
A normal person will have to work really hard to do a 1:1 real time voice obfuscation with the processing it'd take.

Why are you lot always doom and gloom and small-minded, is beyond me.
Because you're not thinking 10 years out. At a certain point you will be able to copy any voice and any video of a person in realtime. It will be as simple as downloading an app. When AI has scanned your whole life's details and it can be found by anyone there will be no privacy left. Nothing will be trusted anymore.
