Leaving the cloud

Four days ago, i deleted my AWS instance. It's all running on a local Raspberry Pi now. It feels like forever, so much time has passed. And it no longer makes sense to pay for a web server. Maybe it never made sense, but i had a good time at the beginning. People have become zombies, powered by their smartphones. To be honest, i don't like the internet anymore. It was cool and fresh, or maybe i never got it at all. All those clicks and touches make them more stupid. They are not contributing to anything, and only taking from me.
My dad will not return to work. In all these years, he couldn't drink much during his shift, because he had to take care of the machines. Going to the toilet was not possible for him, so he had to drink mostly at home, not enough to stay healthy. He also had to run around and handle goods in dusty environments. I don't know what materials they were processing to make all those products. But he basically gave away his body in exchange for minimum wage. He will soon be operated on at least twice. Since i don't have a job, we will have less to keep the lights on, and i decided to spend less of their money.
