Comment on Self-hosting on a Raspberry Pi clusterparent

When you put your data on a third party host, you can basically kiss it goodbye -- "trusting" that host means you have to trust every single employee in it.

For the peace of mind, I'd even pay more -- but it's significantly cheaper in the long run to self host since those 'cheap shared-resource' virtual servers are always oversold.

But to each his own.

When you put your data on a third party host, you can basically kiss it goodbye -- "trusting" that host means you have to trust every single employee in it.

Or you encrypt your data as well as backup your data somewhere else.

Besides, on the scale we're talking here, a workload that can be handled by 3 RPI's (or a VPS), do you really have such sentivie data ?
