controversial take: but I think it's fine to host stuff on your own machines, rather than the massive big-data hyperscale datacenters. Yes, google/cloudflare/AWS might be more efficient per watt, but I don't like giving them more money to continue to violate privacy/TOS/labor... (AI, kiwifarms, &, well, everything amazon does).

No, it won't be the most efficient, but it's yours.

You wouldn't be giving cloudflare any money to host it with them.

So they'd violate your privacy and re-centralize the web for free ? That's not exactly a rebuttal
