Honestly I had long not wanted to do it, but now I started to get a server on Hetzner ($4/mo) and install Dokploy (https://github.com/Dokploy/dokploy https://github.com/Dokploy/dokploy) `curl -sSL https://dokploy.com/install.sh https://dokploy.com/install.sh | sh` and then you have tens of templates for alternative self-hosted websites that you can use (Hoarder for bookmarks, ownCloud to replace Dropbox, etc) I'm not going to keep putting all my notes and personal data in the hands of American companies which might be pressured by the fascist US govt to hand them over personal infos and passwords...

Self-hosting hundreds of GBs of data isn't feasible, you also need backups and it's a terrible idea for most people. Hetzner does provide managed Nextcloud instances. For bookmarks, I recommend Linkding: https://linkding.link https://linkding.link

  Or you could just setup a backup with the cloud provider. Even better, a different cloud provider and follow the 3-2-1 rule for backups.

  > Self-hosting hundreds of GBs of data isn't feasible Why wouldn't it be feasible? Storage is cheap, backups are cheap. It's not for everyone, obviously, but for 20 EUR/month you can get a VM with a couple hundred GB of storage and 1TB of backups on a storagebox in hetzner. Or have a raspberry pi with a 1TB SSD in your home, or both!

  The amount of storage isn't the issue unless you're taking about 10++ terabytes. The things that's interesting is how you're accessing and writing to it - depending on that, it might indeed be infeasible to do everything yourself as an individual. A "cloud" storage like next cloud with only 1-3 users? That's not gonna become a problem, while the base configuration with backups will likely take you a weekend, it's not that hard.
