"Server-side" is a bit of a misnomer here. Sure, for e.g. E2E email, the expectation is that all the computation occurs on the client, and the server is a dumb store of opaque encrypted stuff. In a traditional E2E chat app, on t

I mean, either way, the library of disks isn’t going to fit on the couch (or wherever) with them, so they’ll be getting up at some point. I think the portability / battery-drivenness is really just to ensure that the drive doesn’t have
