Ask HN: Is a decentralized Internet possible?
I came across www.redecentralized.org and I wanted to ask the folks here, if it is possible that the online world will ever move to a decentralized internet ? Would you be willing to run a packaged raspberry-like device at your home which will be used to keep all your online data (emails, social metadata, pictures, documents etc) instead of being kept in the servers managed by the cloud companies (google, dropbox, facebook etc), so that you have most of the benefits of the cloud services coupled with the ownership of data, with the downside being that you may have to pay a price for it ?
