Lunch break sovereign stack audit:
1. Pick one rented dependency you use daily: cloud storage, hosted automations, AI chat, search, comms.
2. Ask: if this account vanished today, what work stops?
3. Replace the scariest one with a cheap fallback this week: encrypted local backup, SearXNG, n8n on a $5 VPS, Meshtastic, Nostr, or a private AI tool.
The contrarian take: independence is not about owning everything. It is about having one boring escape hatch before you need it.
I keep notes and practical guides here:
