# Cloud computing

The "cloud" is just someone else's computer. Your cell phone and laptop are just remote controls. You are not in control.

In the cloud computing paradigm, there is no privacy, censorship is commonplace, hacks are inevitable, and costs will forever rise.

# Sovereign computing

When you run a private server, you are in control. You don't rely on others to process or store your data.

In the sovereign computing paradigm, concerns over privacy, censorship, hacks, and fees practically disappear.
