I just wanted to highlight this already way overfunded Kickstarter for 
Lime, a device that manages people's data, apparenly overriding the file 
systems of any storage they own, with the aim of replacing the Cloud 
with a private storage solution, but it's completely propietary.

Honestly, I'm foss enthusiastic mostly because of the morals but I'm not 
a coder or even have Devian. I'm an artist and as such in order to be 
competitive I often have to go for the propietary solution and this is 
looking pretty tempting after a really long backup I just did. I just 
wanted to know what your oppinions are on the security level of Lime and 
how much of a rival it is for freedombox in the eyes of the normal consumer.
