Load-Bearing Internet People

An LBIP is a person who maintains the software for a critical Internet service or library, and has to do it without organizational support or a budget backing him up. What I said at SELF was this: centralized attacks on the LBIP problem have failed, so we need a decentralized, distributed one. There are lots of LBIPs working in obscurity; we need to solve this problem at scale, not just for a few prominent figures.
