Also, I want most of the services they want to move to the cloud to still work when the net is down.

I may want to use a computer to watch my media library or play a game that I already own with out an active internet connection and ID card. Or, just use a word processor or tax program, or image editor.

Sorry, please provide your ID to log in to the cloud to do basic daily tasks, citizens. This is for your own good, trust us.

    A couple weeks ago my internet went out and it was great that my Plex server still worked on my local network.

    We were out after the hurricane last month and it wasn't until two weeks later that I realized we could have all been watching movies off my generator. 🙄 Oh well. I did have 5 houses running refrigerators and chargers off that crappy genny, so there's that.

    It's been a heavy rainy season here, lots of wind, power and net issues.

    Meanwhile, the LAN works on a UPS, solar, and no Internet.

    (Sure is nice being able to put on a movie or music playlist, and work on documents, or sort though old vacationphotos when it's a rainy day with out a cloud failure blocking it.)
