+* Leaving Google and other cloud services

+Despite being an active user of Google's services: it's search engine,
+webmail, drive and others. I just don't agree on trusting them such
+enormous part of my life. So I decided to leave them, I bought my own
+VPS, which are very cheap nowadays. In fact giving the prices of
+having one I can just feel irritated on how little of a cost I
+represent to Google or Dropbox as a client on their free
+services. Although I don't know either how much money they make out of
+me.
+
+Having the VPS is not enough, I need to administer it. Fortunately
+there is already enough people leaving the free online services in
+favor of hosting their own. This is the case of the nice people behind
+the [[https://github.com/sovereign/sovereign][sovereign]] project. This provides a simple way of maintaining and
+managing my VPS it and return the control of my online life back to
+myself and family.
