- database engines should always run on a server, never on the user’s own machine.
- local data is never larger than the database engine, and it’s better in all cases to move all of the local data to the server where the database engine runs.
- local data can always be moved to another machine, regardless of sensitivity.
Buy are these always true, all the time? It seems to me that there are many use cases (e.g. training local AI models) where these rules should not be so absolute.

- local data can always be moved to another machine, regardless of sensitivity.
