I host a lot of tools but some things I don't / will never host. ## Prelude ### Levels When I talk about "L*", I mean level of trust: - L0; *ultimate* trust, if this gets breaks (hacked, intercepted, EOL), I am toast. - L1; *high* trust, if this breaks, I can recover but it will take a long time and might have repercussions that will follow or haunt me for the rest of my life. - L2; *mid-high* trust, if this breaks, I can recover, nothing vital but things like verified KYC's will be in this class. - L3; *medium* trust, if this breaks, I can easily recover, but friends and family might be affected. - L4; *mid-low* trust, if this breaks, my social presence might be affected but that's about it. - ...; just indication of low trust. - L9; *null* trust, if this breaks, ok. ## Bitwarden (L0/L1) It's marked as L0/L1 because it contains some sensitive info but can be replaced. I don't host my passwords. Yes, the cloud is just someone's computer, but I trust bitwarden and it's software enough to host my passwords, TOTP and card info there. It's a *vital* part of my stack and I can't access my other *vital* services without it. ## Mail (L0) I do host a mail server, however, I don't use it for anything but L3 and below. Most of my finance, insurance and other obligations are routed to my mail. Thus, losing access or data can be a pain, therefore, I use protonmail for e-mail. ## Google Photos (L8/L2) My photos are important but if it breaks, it breaks. However, my mother's storage is important for the sentimental value. ## Spotify (L9) It's not really important if it breaks, I just really like listening to music and discovering new music.
