Tools of Sovereignty: Matt Hill of Start9 Labs on Sovereign Personal Computing

The best way to establish greater sovereignty, privacy and freedom in life is not to ask for it, but to engage the tools that make it possible.  This series explores the people and companies that are developing those tools, and explaining how they can be used to establish greater sovereignty in your life. Start9 Labs has developed a product called 'The Embassy', which is 'an elegant, plug-and-play personal server for running self-hosted software. It sits quietly on your shelf, running all day and night - your own private cloud. It offers one-click installation of powerful, open-source services like Bitcoin, Lightning, data storage, password management, instant messaging, social networking, and more. There is no command line involved, and no technical expertise required. You use your Embassy and its installed services in total privacy, right from the browser, from anywhere on Earth, and there are no trusted 3rd parties.' That sounds like just the kind of tool that I hope to explore and bring to light in this series.
