Their computer, their data.
Comment on I'm unsure what to self-host
myplacedk@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI 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.

We host most stuff at home, and then additionally some services at Hetzner on an (auctioned) root server. Bloody nice to get really good hardware for cheap, plus unlimited data with either 1 or 10Gbit synchronous network speed, a dedicated IPv4,…
Stuff like my mail server lives there because it HAS to be available, and doing it at home, and doing it well, is next to impossible.
I’m planning a nix hydra + cache server, which will probably also live on the Hetzner server, simply because it’ll have pretty intense jobs to run a lot of the time and I’m not a fan of having the noise of spun-up fans at home.
Both solutions have their place, is what I’m saying / agreeing.

No, mail can be end-to-end encrypted but they got bros out here raw dogging their VPSs.

Not a VPS.
