without a lot of work, generally to mom and pop. u haul and such are in it as well.

i usually pay $35 a month for a few years so that i can eventually throw a few boxes of junk away.

but the data centers. who needs that much data? all that i see coming is endless finely focused hard sell advertising. unplug the damn things or make them generate their own power .

the dark side, artificial mind police scanning years of du archives to find support for "antifa" or "communism" or "woke ideology?" oh ya. sooner or later.
