> This is how infrastructure works, and supposed to work

No, infrastructure doesn't have to work this way. This is a very old-school mentality.

Sign the content with a key that you control. Back up the content locally. And boom- your server is easily replaced. It only helps copy data around and performs certain conveniences.

I've been working on this full-time for a few years. If we succeed, we solve link rot (broken links) on the web.





Well, you're basically repeating what I'm saying, but with more detail. It's still what I true, "the one who holds the key holds the kingdom", just shifting it to the user rather than the admin. This is great, and works too, but doesn't make what I say less true.
