How many programmers have to create their own computer


An easy to use decentralised data storage platform

Since Google started charging for storing photos, I decided to store my data myself.

I have a raspi with an external hard disk with a custom made server, thinking of ways to make it easier to set up so that non tech savvy people can use it too. I don't like big corps holding my data and then charging for it, I'd rather store it myself and pay for it.

Yes I know it's relatively volatile and can go down when my WiFi is down but then I won't really be using the cloud anyways.


>(especially in Africa and India)

77% of Indians use a smartphone, won't say billions


The claim is that there are billions of users total without smartphones, not billions in each of Africa and India
