   The future is self-hosted.

   The article says the opposite.
   
   The article is wrong.

     @SuperSnekFriend @Aether Ok, a TL;DR: Self-hosting is a problem because it's individualist. The future is "Community-hosting".
     
     I don't think he realizes that what he says about community-hosting is literally a description of the cloud but with fancier words :cirno_facepalm:

     @SuperSnekFriend @Aether he actually brings up a good point in this article: self-hosted systems can't interact very efficiently. sharing file with friends, for example, isn't as seamless as Drive or MEGA. he brings up an interesting model of *community-hosting*:
     
     >Instead of building our own clouds, I want us to own the cloud. Keep all of the great parts about this feat of technical infrastructure, but put it in the hands of the people rather than corporations.
     >I'm talking publicly funded, accessible, at cost cloud-services.
     
     that would be interesting, though I think self-hosting is fairly accessible already.
