How might private storage compete with corporate super hardrives for websites? There is the darkweb Wikipedia and internet archive and a decent amount of data on the0 fediverse. There may be a point where megacorps have eyes in the terminal of computers what is the logistics of open source computers with all the components and what would it be like?

Btw When I was very young the megacorps were something cool and I am poor so if I'm the product then it's fine. Your money went towards better products like the Mac, Imovie and more (at least in perception). but I have an irrational feeling that what was once free in the mid 2010s is now a bucket load of money that since the Russian disinformation campaign and the turn of many companies towards sucking every last penny by charging for what was once taken for granted out of their users innovation has stifled and what was once free is captive.

Use filen. It's the best

Looks good for files, but if you want total replacement of icloud/google/ms services such as contacts, calendar, tasks, notes, and so much more, Nextcloud is best in class.
