Hey,
I know it sucks to rely on cloud services but it is what it is. I use Apple iCloud, Bitwarden and GitHub.
Technically, I could self-host all three but I want my backups not at my place or at least have them in both places cloud/at home.
I do have two spare Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and one small computer with an old i5 / 8 GB RAM.
What do you personally self-host?
lmao, people out here on VPSs acting like they went from renting to owning, when really they just rented the motherboard, the case, the fans 🤣🤣
OP get an end-to-end encrypted remote backup app.
I own my data. I own my installation. That’s what I care about.
Why would I want to own the hardware, when it’s in an inaccessible building far away.
Their computer, their data.
Some don’t have the capital or spare parts lying around to build their own on premises server. A VPS is an easy, secure way to get started in the hobby. No need to gatekeep.
That don’t stop others seeing what you do on their computers. If you don’t care, no one’s stopping you.
Didn’t downvote ya but… Server at home, VPS in the cloud…samey samey. The end goal is the same: Privacy, security, and anonymity. I don’t know why people out here are going on about pedantic definitions. Selfhosting isn’t an exclusive club with a homelab prerequisite. It’s open to anyone regardless of the equipment they use.
Privacy? Anonymity? lmao, it’s their computer. They see everything you do.
So, you run your own ISP?
You don’t know the S in HTTPS?
Riiight. Imma let you go on that one.
