Sometimes HN makes me feel like I'm the literal last remaining person on the planet who just... uses a desktop computer, and stores data on SSDs and HDDs, all physically connected to the machine, and never worries about how to access this data from another device because there are no other devices from which it should be accessed.

I mean, okay, fine, I do things like publishing to GitHub. But I still have a local copy, and I'm in control.
