I recently came across a video by Loyal Moses titled “They’re Banning Your Home Server”.
This got me thinking about what it means for anyone who likes running their own gear.
The industry lobby’s framing around private servers feels like a major mask-off moment for big tech, treating user-controlled hardware as a threat.
I have written a short piece in reaction to the video and would love to hear your thoughts.

They consider it piracy out of convenience. What they case about is telemetry. They want all the event data from user interaction. Any such data is a gold mine for training AI. That makes it an asset in their eyes. An asset that the poor plebs get to keep and not even use for self-interested spy shit? Microsoft: “that’s not fair! Piracy!!”
