I hope you've joined the Linux User Group - LUG - Org in Star Citizen.

We're steadily gunning for the top ten spot in org sizes. (Currently the 14th largest)

I think the file upload size limit could become a problem in my case, at least in terms of posting the complete ACLs.

We've recently managed to come down to only ~1.4k VLANs though, and the network firewall pair for our server networks now only handles ~600 SPB services.

Got myself a proper full-time job, my apartment got renovated, and I've ended up becoming an Evocati.

My life isn't particularly interesting when it comes to large-scale changes.

A possibly metal battleaxe.

I've spent literally the entire last month working on tooling to orchestrate our asset management database for NAC (Network Access Control) purposes, and somehow I still didn't think of this.

Yep, but if you run out of storage space then The Factorio Way™ has always been to use some kind of destruction method - from handgunning a wooden box to using a mod to vaporize it into the ether.

The one that explicitly states in its license that you're not allowed to ship anything using it?

If you're taking part in transmitting a torrent over Yggdrasil, then people you've peered with in the swarm will definitely see your Yggdrasil IP - which is based off of the encryption key you generate (and you can change whenever you wish) for the connection to the mesh.
Regarding obfuscation of what you're accessing inside something like the bittorrent DHT, that could likely be done with multiple Yggdrasil connections and torrent clients - so each address only associates with one torrent, it's just not a core feature of the network itself.

The Yggdrasil network really isn't meant to provide perfect internal anonymity between two directly communicating peers, it's instead built to be an easy-to-use, end-to-end encrypted, mesh network - with great performance.
It's there to protect the content and target of your communications from anyone beside you and said target, without adversely affecting the delivery of said content. Not to protect you from your communication target, though it can do a passable job at that too.

My main use of Yggdrasil has actually been as an easily setup alternative route into NATed systems, seeing as I can easily hit 600Mbit and get below 15ms of latency over it, which I quite often use to run VNC or SSH (and SCP/rsync) over. And since the mesh can be established as long as you can reach a node, it becomes ridiculously easy to get a functional link over it.
Transmitting DC++ traffic without my ISP being able to detect any of that is just a bonus.

I should note that I'm not relying on Yggdrasil for anonymity inside the network, rather more for anonymity towards observations from outside the network. And also mostly anonymity towards what I'm communicating when observed from outside the network.

Been doing some DC++ over Yggdrasil with good success

Back when I used to dual-boot, I had Windows on its own drive just for when it gets these ideas in its head.

Had a slightly similar - but also very different - experience that finally weaned me off of dual-booting though.
Back when Windows 10 was releasing their "fall update", something had broken in the updating procedure and Windows would - on every reboot - attempt to install said update and then fail and roll it back.

At least until it at one point suddenly "succeeded" in installing the update.
The updater took ages to run, and then when it finally rebooted the entire drive was just gone. Partition table was still there, but messed up. Partitions were still there, but contained garbage in their superblocks. Even the EFI binaries were trashed, and the Windows setup couldn't recognize it as a valid Windows install to attempt recovery on.
I ended up taking a block-level copy of the entire drive from Linux, ran a bunch of file restore tools on that to try and recover what little data I had stored on the Windows drive itself, to some success. And at that point I was long past fed up with the mess that was running a Windows desktop, so it was also the last time I've ever had Windows installed on physical hardware - though I have had to load up VMs to run a couple of horribly written hardware OEM tools since.

If they actually put trackpads on them then Windows wouldn't be as much of an idiotic decision.
Windows with only sticks is absolutely insane, Windows with trackpads is just less smart.
