> Peer to Peer data transfer via computing devices is something I wish was be more mainstream. It's not, because the commercial cloud storage mafia has invested heavily in telling people that your data has to traverse their toll roads first.
Been in software half my life never heard anyone saying anything like this. It's most of the time easier and more efficient to use cloud storage than to spin up and bootstrap a p2p system. Also, thanks to encryption I don't really care if data hits the cloud.
This is absurd. Try synchronizing a GB of data between two devices in the same room on an ADSL. If they (stupidly) bounce through an external server it might take an hour.
Not to mention if you are on a mobile connection.
Very people on this planet have fast + symmetric + unlimited bandwith available 24/7.
I have seen many concerns of quantum computing and its ability to blow through most of our encryption standards with ease. So that trust in the cloud via encryption will likely soon fade
