Saying it’ll never happen and giving up won’t make that 2% get any bigger

Again, you get a standing ovation from me for your drive. Emphatically, I hope you and others with your drive succeed. I'm just giving my perspective of being involved with people and their computers since the mid 70s. I'm no IT guy by any stretch of the imagination, but I like helping others with their digital devices, because it is my desire for everyone to use said digital devices in the most safe, private, and anonymous manner possible. If any morsel of my experience can help someone, then I'm all about it.

However, and for instance: It's been back at the beginning of the year, I had almost a 2 hour 'training session' with a friend on how to effectively use UBlock Origin. Something so very simple but quite effective. But you have to 'train' it to get the most out of UBlock Origin. Three weeks later I'm over at his house and he's disabled UBlock Origin because it was annoying. Work, yes it takes a little work to learn how to drive the bus, and that's where most people fall by the wayside for just about anything, not just digital devices.

If you want to help beta test, I’m working on an appliance-level automated installer for provisioning home cloud servers.

I'd be willing to take a look at it. I've got a couple empty boxes around here. Back when Microsoft released their Home Server edition, I thought 'Finally! I hope this catches on'. But they killed it. I've always thought some bright, young, entrepreneur could take a couple of small ThinkCenters, construct a server environment, put it in a box, with almost a fool proof, one touch button that went out on your network, connected all devices to that one small central server, deploy apps etc, and everything would be jippity jippity. The problem, however, with making things fool proof is that fools are quite ingenious little buggers.
