I care about that I *don't* necessarily want other cloud providers to

owncloud vs Google's cloud). Should I go away on a business trip and
power knocks out my server while I am gone, I don't want to lose access
to all of my files! (as has happened twice in the last year; once got
the router stuck in a bad state and the second time power was out for
more then 20 minutes so UPS did a shutdown.) This really sucks!
I host mine (along with mail, web, etc) on a Linode VPS for $20/month. Problem
solved.
I think you missed his point that:

I've also been using Linode, but also share the (appropriate) paranoid
awareness that that means dozens of Linode staff have access to my data.
I always gpg'd my data before syncing, but it was a hassle to do so.
Now I host my own data and don't have to worry about it...
