That approach isn’t all sunshine and rainbows though, it’ll undercut local businesses (the few remaining ones), and without ID of Nyc residents non-nyc ppl could take advantage of these stores to resell the goods for a higher price…
I’m not sure how NYC is going to sustain the costs as well, more taxes? Capital flight will be a problem. Not a musk fan here, but there’s two faces to this coin.











I’m not sure i see the point of that as a product. Tuta mail makes sense because e-mail is genuinely hard to setup and get verified against (most of the time you’ll get flagged as a bot if you self host). But a drive, really?
All it takes is a couple of old drives in raid 1, bonus points for a proper NAS distro with ZFS and you’re up, a simple wireguard to get access anywhere along a free DNS url and you’re all set, you don’t need to trust anyone over files, even as a remote backup the actual service doesn’t matter if you deeply encrypt the backup file.
