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. |
