    A good reminder that “the cloud” is a fancy way of saying, “someone else’s computer”. If you don’t own the hardware, you don’t own the data on it. This works for large businesses because they have actual contracts and lawyers to get their data back. For everyone else, the EULA amounts to one big “fuck you”.

      This is what I find so frustrating about Crasholan killing their peer-to-peer backup in about 2012.

      It was a brilliant solution.
