       All it costs to fulfill the average person's needs for digital services is a $5 per month VPS instance. It's even cheaper if you buy a single board computer and host your services at home.We've been letting companies steal our personal data and sell it to the highest bidder and destroying democracy in the process all to save what? A coffee a month?This is one of the worst deals in history.#privacy #selfhosting

       @noorul IMO,  harvesting a person's VPS for personal data relevant to advertising might be too low in value from an RoI perspective.Be careful to read about the local data privacy laws in both the country the company is incorporated in and the country where your VPS instance resides.The safer bet if you have reliable electricity and internet is to host your instance at home on an ARM board and access it using its IPv6 address, static IPv4 address, a tunnel like #pagekite or tor.

All mobile Internet is behind NAT. And broadband is not my choice as I like to on move.So far I've set up my system SSH jump to access remotely.I've to setup BBB to connect to VPS to with OpenSSH or OpenVPN to@njoseph

       except the fact that VPS isn't silver bullet neither... only trust computers that you can throw out of the window.
