That is an answer for an incredibly tiny fraction of the population. I'm not so much concerned about myself than society in general, and self-hosting just is not a viable solution to the problem at hand.
To be fair, it's much easier than one can imagine (try ollama on macOS for example). In the end, Apple wrote a lot of longwinded text, but the summary is "you have to trust us."
I don't trust Apple - in fact, even the people we trust the most have told us soft lies here and there. Trust is a concept like an integral - you can only get to "almost" and almost is 0.
So you can only trust yourself. Period.

Sibling comments point out (and I believe, corrections are welcome) that all that theater is still no protection against Apple themselves, should they want to subvert the system in an organized way. They’re still fully in control. There is, for example, as far as I understand it, still plenty of attack surface for them to run different software than they say they do.
What they are doing by this is of course to make any kind of subversion a hell of a lot harder and I welcome that. It serves as a strong signal that they want to protect my data and I welcome that. To me this definitely makes them the most trusted AI vendor at the moment by far.
Exactly. You can only trust yourself [1] and should self host.

I like the concept, but only 5 IPs? With IPv6 you should be offering at least a /64 per tunnel.
Great point!
We offer 5 because we're geared toward helping people host appliances as opposed to raw network setup! We also offer automatic RDNS with this as well as the Cloud Seeder appliance!
Thanks again for your comments and as well thoughts!

I am part of a company that promotes self hosting and provides external routing for self hosting [1]
We made Cloud Seeder [2] an open source application that makes deploying and managing your self-hosted server a 1-click issue!
Hope this comes in handy for someone! :-)

You can also do this with 1-click and no effort using Cloud Seeder [1]

And for those of you that don't have an external IP, you can use services that provide egress for you like IPv6.rs. [1]

You can coherently argue that encryption doesn't matter, but you can't reasonably argue that Telegram is a serious encrypted messaging app (it's not an encrypted messaging app at all for group chats), which is the point of the article. The general attitude among practitioners in the field is: if you have to reason about how the operator will handle legal threats, you shouldn't bother reasoning about the messenger at all.
> if you have to reason about how the operator will handle legal threats, you shouldn't bother reasoning about the messenger at all.
That's true.
You need to run your own platform people. XMPP is plenty simple, plenty powerful, and plenty safe -- and even your metadata is in your control.
Just self host. There's no excuse in 2024.
Wake up people!
Why should the arrest of someone else affect YOU?

I'll be doing a self-hosting workshop at FOSSY 2024 tomorrow.
Details: https://2024.fossy.us/schedule/presentation/219/
If you bring a book, I'll sign it.
If you're stuck getting started with your homelab, see https://selfhostbook.com/videos/ . Any suggestions on other videos I might create? Should I stick with short and sweet, or do something longer? How much longer?
I for one am a fan of the short and sweet. I think it's very straight forward -- if someone follows the video they can do the same, with you, in real time and I think that's great.
Good job and good luck with your speech tomorrow. It's really good that you're promoting self hosting -- this really is the final line for the battle of the people vs big data on the internet.
I built something similar but different -- specifically just for tasks without voice -- https://asht.ar -- that might be worth checking out!
We are at 1000+ users and growing! ^^
