People are seeing convenience but are only just becoming aware of the trade offs. At the moment there are very few alternatives available and I disagree that 'hosting your own data is trivial' - it typically devolves into becoming a sysadmin, when all you wanted was a way to share a photo. Thankfully there are many efforts to improve the ability of mere mortals to own their digital footprints and FWIW, I'm working with others on an open source stack that can do this [1]. We're starting with the core services of mail, contacts and calendars (to replace iCloud), but the stack itself is very flexible and built using Mirage [2]. I'm curious about what tools/software you use to manage things.
