## A digital home base
|
|
|
|
What you need is a digital home base. What is that computer? Is
|
|
it (a) your phone, (b) your browser, (c) your PC or laptop, (d)
|
|
your AWS instance, (e) your RasPi or other custom home computer?
|
|
|
|
Here are three obvious features your digital home base needs.
|
|
(1) it should be infinitely secure and persistent -- at the level
|
|
of Amazon S3, Gmail, your bank, etc. (2) it should be a server,
|
|
not just a client. (3) it should be usable by ordinary people.
|
|
|
|
Everything except (d) falls far short of (1) and/or (2). (d)
|
|
falls far short of (3).
|
|
|
|
The missing piece is a practical _personal server_ -- a virtual
|
|
computer in the cloud, with persistence guarantees comparable to
|
|
cloud storage services, that's as completely yours as a RasPi.
