S there room for a VPN with zero Five Eyes servers and RAM-only infrastructure?
I've been building on AWS for years and got deep into privacy/networking recently. The more I learned, the more I realized most VPN providers are theatre.
The problem I see: "no-logs" is meaningless if your servers are physically in the US, UK, Canada or Australia. A warrant is a warrant. Even providers I respect like Mullvad and Proton have servers in Five Eyes countries.
What I'm thinking: - Servers only in Iceland, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Romania, Japan - RAM-only — no disk, no logs possible by design, reboot wipes everything - WireGuard - Open source, annual Cure53 audit - BTC/Monero, no account required
Break even is around 200-300 customers. Infrastructure to start is maybe $500-1000/month.
Honest question: does Mullvad already own this positioning well enough that there's no room? Or is "zero Five Eyes + provably no logs" a real differentiator for a specific segment?
Also curious if anyone has experience running infrastructure businesses in Iceland or Luxembourg specifically.

Show HN: A web to see nearby TFL trains
This was mostly vibe coded over the bank holiday but the funny thing is that it was derived from an existing stale iOS swift project I started and never finished nor shipped that was built by hand, over the length of multiple months. It's just a ui that asks for your location and shows platform arrivals on your closer tube and overground stations using tfl api. Learned a lot about the setting up of stuff and all my api modelling and schemas hopefully went into shaping this. But it's quite impressive that now any feature can be built and deployed within seconds by claude remotely.

Show HN: Complete Family Tree Viewer
While the U.S. is celebrating Memorial Day, it seems like a good time to share this genealogy tool I made.
It can show the entire family tree for a person in a GEDCOM file (all of their relatives and in-laws) without any crossing lines and with lots of control over the styling.
I couldn't find any other software that does this, except maybe Gramps. Hopefully people will find it useful.
