I think the best blocking system, if you have a regular job which provides work laptops would be, just use your work computer for everything. Lock up your personal laptop somewhere.

Your website looks great. I didn't try the product. Can I ask how you did the design and UI of your landing page? Did you do it yourself or contracted someone to do it?

absk82··on Show HN: DataCabinet, Website to Maintain Jupyter Notebooks in the Cloud
The first field says 'your name' but doesn't accept a name which contains space. Is that supposed to be user name? If yes, the text box should say that. Other than that, it worked great.

absk82··on Ask HN: Is a decentralized Internet possible?
Ease of use is definitely one factor which looks important, but also remember that there is an added cost of the device as well as a possible recurring cost as someone is doing some work to make your device available on the internet. This added cost might be a deterrent for people who are concerned about privacy but still not too concerned. I am just wondering if a mass adoption is at all possible ? I understand that there will be people who understand the system well enough to need such thing.
absk82··on Ask HN: Is a decentralized Internet possible?
Regarding you0r 'single point of failure' comment, I think indeed this would be a single point of failure and of course, the data that you own, cannot be protected in a way big corporations can do which is the crux of the argument, that is, do you care about security/reliability of your data more or privacy ? The googles and facebooks are keeping the data secure but we can't know who all have access to our private data. Are privacy concerns a big enough deal for people that they would be willing to move their data from the cloud onto their possession, and in the process, maybe take some hit on the security/reliability ?

Sorry, indeed there was a typo - it is redecentralize.org.
