I prefer local for privacy. probably hetzner doesn’t look into your belongings, but if police comes knocking because so you said something mean to certain someones, you may not even know your data was stolen. you don’t need to be an activist for it to happen.
you can also keep backups there. and its accessible without internet.

You may want to have a dead man’s switch so that the server shuts down without your intervention, or there’s the possibility that the police could retrieve the encryption key in RAM through some physical attacks.

Usually the cops raiding homes just take the stuff to some lab. Not saying such an attack is impossible but I don’t think that’s high up in my risk assessment.

they can, but you sure will know something happened and you can take precautions, like encrypting the drives
