Personally I find myself reevaluating the choices I made for my personal data at the beginning of the cloud era.
Back then, one of the arguments I convinced myself with was that the cloud behemoths had so much to lose on integrity breach that it would just not happen.
It didn’t even occur to me at the time that my data being held hostage in some geopolitical gameplay should be part of the risk assessment.
I'm seriously considering self-hosting as an alternative, in combination with regional cloud services.
Maybe we have an Internet renaissance on our hands, taking it back to its decentralized nature?
As others have mentioned, the OpenWrt One is great. 2.5Gbps WAN port makes it future proof, currently using it as the gateway for the residential 1Gbps fiber.
Next hurdle is to make ISP upgrade their ONU to have a 2.5Gbps port so I can get ACTUAL 1Gbps out of it, but it will likely also mean they need to upgrade the entire string of GPON equipment, so likely have to wait for a bit.
Also have success with OpenWRT on the ultra low cost Mi AX3600, while hardware acceleration is not supported, it is nice to not have to run out of date Chinese firmware.
