Keep your data out of third-party clouds by self-hosting - here's how


With the rise of self-hosting, I've migrated several of my tech needs away from third-party services. Here's why you should too.

For instance, I recently migrated my note-taking app to Trilium because I could host a server on my LAN so all of my machines could access those notes. As you probably surmised, the primary reason I use self-hosting because I don't want third parties accessing my content for the sole purpose of training their LLMs. Although there will always be companies trying to skirt the system and use our data in ways we don't approve, any chance I can get to prevent such things from happening, you can bet I'm going to take it.
