> SSH tunnelling ... distributed file systems ... ditch proprietary OS
Yes it goes into arm-waving rant well beyond benefit of encrypt/private data. SSH tunneling can wrap communication in another layer of encryption but so what. Distributed filesystem is not a magical privacy sauce. Proprietary OS (commercial? or my home-developed POSIX compliant OS?) is bad how? While telemetry of commercial OS may be a concern it is not the same concern as me keeping my files private with encryption.
