I've been thinking about creating a company, or foundation, around the idea of owning your own data. You'd have a hardware device like a powerful tablet always connected at home, and use a "generic" third party to do backups and enable pocking holes at NAT. You'd use this to store your music and listen it from anywhere, to run your email, instant messages, storing your photos, streaming movies from your downloaded collection... I'd love to be working in that project, however it does not exist yet and I haven't found enough interested people.

FWIW, I’m focused on the photos bit for now. You can read more about it here: https://photostructure.com/about/introducing-photostructure/ https://photostructure.com/about/introducing-photostructure/

  Yeah, I actually tried something similar some time ago (lyfepedia.com but it's not up). I also did a video-call app (wupi.io which does work) but these are not decentralized. Perhaps we could join forces? I had in mind starting with a "spotify" kind of thing, based on a local server running on a tablet device or surface, but if it also has something like photostream that would be cool.
