What if everything you store in the cloud—your photos, passwords, private messages—wasn’t really yours?
In this episode, we sit down with Matt Hill, CEO of Start9, to break down what sovereign computing really means and why it’s one of the most important shifts of our time. We explore the dangers of centralized cloud platforms—from mass surveillance and censorship to the ability of tech monopolies to socially engineer, silence, or even blackmail you.
Matt explains how you can start opting out—one service at a time—by running your own server, managing your own data, and reclaiming your digital dignity. We get into how tools like the Start9 OS and Server One work, the killer apps (your own password manager, encrypted cloud drive, messaging, and more), and why this movement is about more than just privacy—it’s about freedom.
This is a must-listen for anyone serious about living life on their terms in the digital age.
