Personal data storage is an idea whose time has come (blog.muni.town)

If you're a regular internet user the Personal Data Storage paradigm won't move your data from the cloud to your personal computer. Most people will still rely on an institutional cloud service, but instead of data-banking with a shareholder-controlled corporation people’s data can be entrusted to the equivalent of member-owned credit unions for data storage.

most things are a couple of commands one has to copy/paste into a command prompt.

how many people do you think know what a command prompt is? because quite frankly even knowing that much is very uncommon for the vast, overwhelming majority of the population.

you're talking about condensing years of learning into a few tutorials, as if it's nothing. idk if it's smug superiority, or you're literally just ignorant of how much you know that the average person does not, but it's fucking wild that you think the average person is going to be able to do what we do without giving up.

this ain't a hobby for everyone else, it's difficult and frustrating work.
