I flashed a couple of my old PCs but they had little storage so I couldn’t run a node with a lightning node and all the things I wanted to run on either of them. I eventually gave up on the project but they do have enough storage for small things like pictures and documents so I could revisit it!
But yeah I’d imagine something really crazy would have to happen for people to actually do something about their data. They’d still want someone else to do it because most people don’t understand how to set it up or manage backups/recover them. Ideally, that’s what the division of labor is for but big tech and all their data harvesting makes it riskier than it needs to be.

I understand. Yeah the incentives are definitely to just let someone else handle it. I just don't think they know how all of their data being sold is going to turn out in an age of AI. The average person doesn't seem to think much about their privacy or control.
Random example. What is to stop a law enforcement agency from working with ring to freeze the current frame on your cameras, turn off motion detection, walk into your house, and either plant evidence or seize your possessions?
The more you imagine these possible hypotheticals, the more you realize how imperative sovereignty and privacy are.
