It's really two different paradigms. One is about the hardware and the other is about the data. To me we shouldn't be worrying about the hardware, but rather the heirloom data and where and how it's stored and accessed. To me the implies the cloud and not local. An earth-sized computer, governed by a benevolent VI (not AI), would be ideal IMO. Terminals to access the data could be anything, from RaspPI to an Amiga to a Chromebook.
- Retric 6y agoYou can easily distribute hardware around the globe for redundancy, it’s harder to have redundant clouds. Cloud services allow you to easily and cheaply get to reasonable levels of data integrity and security, but suppose you want a higher threshold. If the data is as important as say the specific text of the US Constitution a single cloud service is clearly inadequate. Presumably your data is less important than that, but plenty of stuff is very important and or valuable.
