Startup idea: mini-datacenters that can be installed in someone's basement or apartment building. Residents can run SOLID pods on these computers. Instead of user data going to the cloud, the cloud providers run their workloads directly on the user pods.
- wmf 4y agoJust use a regular data center.
- rglullis 4y agoMaybe I was too subtle. Let me fix it. As an user, do I really care whether my data is in the US, Germany or New Zealand, if all of Big Tech can exploit anyway? The only way for privacy is to have systems that never collect the data in the first place. A lot of the applications that we use today do not need to take your data to offer you functionality, but they could simply push their code to a computing environment controlled by the user, and run from there.
- anthropodie 4y agoNope. No cloud providers. My data, my network, my choice how it becomes available to me when I'm away from my home. I don't want cloud in between.
