    You will own nothing and you will be happy. Bezos already laid the ground for this when he mused about everything living in the cloud a while ago. And where things are going with hardware prices, they think they can make it happen sooner rather than later, is my guess.

      There is a certain kind of boomer who ended up retiring to a little hobby farm with a couple chickens and maybe a pig or a few sheep…

      We are all going to end up with hobby server farms, with a localized coy of Wikipedia backed up, and a file and image server, maybe some email…

        They will put a stop to this by jacking up prices of hdds insanely high. You will have no choice. Hdds dont last long, and they are being made with worse quality every year.

        I guess we can figure out how to chain together 40+ 500gb hdds somehow…

        Already working on it. Evergrowing collection of media of all sorts. But I’ve been working on that for decades by now.

      My phone has more power, storage and ram than my 2008 gaming PC had.

      My next phone will be a Linux one and if possible it’ll also be my “main PC”, maybe it won’t work that well but today my main PC is a 6500T and it’s enough for me so my hopes are a bit up :-)
