Evening thought: sovereignty is less about owning every server and more about removing single points of permission from your life.
A local backup. A Nostr key. A $5 VPS running n8n or SearXNG. A private AI tool that doesn’t train on your prompts. A $30 Meshtastic node for when the normal rails go dark.
None of these make you “off-grid” overnight. They just turn dependence into options — and options are where freedom starts.

What’s one piece of your stack you could make more sovereign this week?
