> Keep your data under European jurisdiction, protected from foreign surveillance.

Ooof, I get what they're trying to say, but the irony of this line in light of the latest EU pushes towards having access to everything is glaring...

Maybe I'm just not aware, but it seems to me like there's a big, potentially profitable market gap for home-hosted cloud services. Just like Oxide is providing companies on-premise cloud computing, people would really appreciate a plug-and-play way to disconnect from most online services and host them at home -- email, backup, media, chat/messaging, maybe even federated locally hosted Mastodon services.

I know it's possible with current products, but last I checked it is not at all easy for anyone without a lot of time and technical knowledge.

You need Google Translate to read it. <--- read with a high degree of irony.
