Careful: when you self-host everything then you equally have it all in one basket. Be very careful with that server of yours.

I do the same, to get away from the corporate risk, but I am acutely aware of the individual risk.

I try to keep redundant multisite backups. Not just of data but of entire server configurations. It's a lot for one guy to handle in his spare time.

Everything is backed up to multiple homelabs of family and friends. Privately federated backups are the way to go.

The backup I receive from my twin is encrypted. To me it's just one big unreadable file.

you can't unencrypt it.

the NSA on the other hand may have capabilities you're not privileged too lol.
