so to decentralize we would need to host everything ourselves? PC turned on 24 hours and awful gaming latency since you'll be using lots of upload traffic. plea

  Do you need to distribute things when you're gaming? For most interactions, I imagine that when the user says "save", replication of the user's data can start at that point, and for most things, ought to finish within a minute or two, freeing up the network/CPU, at least if you're doing it across a private cloud. I imagine that for most of my data, 3 copies in disparate locations would more than suffice. How long does that take? Having a machine on 24/7 is perhaps a bit wasteful, but what is the electrical use of a mostly idling machine? If you really cared, you could perhaps get something with less power, like a raspberry pi.

    Oh I got the wrong idea, I wasn't able to check the video and the "about" is really bad. But now that I'm home I opened the Github page. So it's just not giving control over the data for a central corporation, but we're still using datacenters. I thought it was the same folks that wanted us to self-host diaspora (as in OUR home pc/network). If this works, the *aaS market will explode even more.
