unless it's self-hosted (or hosted by a trustworthy friend who's realky into privacy)
I m sick all self hosted bullshit,do u really think everyone have that much spare time to spare on such bullshit.
If time is the only problem with self hosting we should work on this even more because it's only accessibility issue.
The self host craze is stupid,
you need storage?self host the server You need vpn? Self host You need mail?self host You need phone?make it yourself
There is no limit to this madness,and self hosting isn't secure as people make it out to be,its always 1 minute away from getting hacked.
No sane person suggests you self host mail or make a phone (no one using linux phone suggests it) What vpn would you self host?? How would that even work lol, you mean tailscale? That lets you connect to your own pc from anywhere, not exactly how the vpns you typically use work. Same with storage, ppl reccomend backups on the cloud and selfhosted. If you value your data might as well make sure you never lose it in case something goes wrong.
In the most pessimistic scenario it's the only future (hope ) people have if they want to stay being people. The most pessimistic future of the commercial internet is every piece of information locked behind your personalized chat bot, every content tailored to you only and generated by machine. Just hook up to the matrix, they're waiting for you.
Hack me bro
How do you know someone hasn't alr lol
The rise of self-hosted option comes from the distrust of the Big Tech and the desire to avoid a single point of failure.
Sure, commercial solutions are better hardened, but they are also more likely to be attacked in the first place. And nothing is there to protect you from the prying eyes of those who host it for you, which is a valid threat as well.
Still, one thing better, privacy-wise, than having your own server is to not rely on any servers to begin with.
