I did not. Linode is not a cloud provider, and hence, might meet this restriction. > 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. See, my presumption is that, while the Linode staff have access to the data, they're not actively datamining it like Google does. > I always gpg'd my data before syncing, but it was a hassle to do so. See, I just assume that the remote server could be compromised at any time (it is public facing after all) so there's not anything on it which shouldn't be. All my email of import is encrypted, and I just make sure that anything that I care about never leaves the house (except for offsite backups). If I absolutely need it, and it's not on my laptop, I can get it via ssh-ing in to the server in the house (but, as a general case, it's on the encrypted disks on my laptop). > Now I host my own data and don't have to worry about it... Except I don't want my web/email/etc. running off my residential cable modem, because I live in the middle of nowhere and Linode's Internet and power reliability is likely better than mine. :-) -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- "Life moves pretty fast.
