I wanted to jot down some of my thoughts, before I forgot them.

Musings on 'digital sovereignty'

Some initial, probably flawed, thoughts on the notion of digital sovereignty

@neil domestic suppliers pulling the rug from under you is indeed a risk. We have had that with various things in the past and had to work around. Usually some level of notice.

A scary thing would be political action and when that can be on a whim of a foreign dictator and effectively happen over night. I think that makes the risk management harder as no local laws protect you from that and you have no real recourse.

@revk @neil the "political whim of a dictator" is, remarkably, why in shifting what I can away from US hosting.
