Re: [Trisquel-users] More focus should be put on server installations

[jason]

I don't think people need help (i.e. hosting companies) putting their e-mail,  
photos, videos, calendars, address books, messages, documents (and whatever  
else they might put on their server) to third parties. The Internet-using  
public already seems exceedingly efficient at doing that. Rather,  
self-hosting is the solution to the problems we experience of today  
(reference NSA), not continuing to outsource it. Please remember that such  
outsourcing is one of the two critical things that made mass surveillance  
possible. Despite this, some seem to think there is some magic way, that if  
it can just be done "right" somehow that a way could be found to both  
outsource their stuff and respect people's freedom, autonomy, and privacy all  
at the same time but it just isn't true. You can't both give your data to  
someone else and keep it at the same time.
