    Pros and cons, for sure. Companies like Proton and Steam are proof that you can have your cake and eat it too. It’s mostly publicly-funded corporations that are rotten.

  If my instance of immich no longer works, I still have my files.

  If an encrypted database of blobs crashes, I hope I can recover it.

  When I’m self hosting, I know my preference.

  Encryption in self hosted when you’re hosting only your personal data isn’t really a positive feature

  For the case of ente, having all the photos in encrypted blobs in a minio container, means you have to export the content every night using their cli tool, verify it, repeat for every family member, then backup the result
