Fellow selfhoster, do you encrypt your drives where you put data to avoid privacy problems in case of theft? If yes, how? How much does that impact performances? I selfhost (amongst other services) NextCloud where I keep my pictures, medical staff, …in short, private stuff and I know that it’s pretty difficult that a thief would steal my server, buuut, you never know! 🤷🏻‍♂️

    You don’t have sensitive data? Would you mind expanding on that a bit for me? Just curious how you like, live, and stuff.

      Plex data, pi hole, and home assistant don’t contain anything meaningful. No credentials are stored in a form that can be reused.

      The most sensitive is immich, which I’m more concerned about backups than I am someone might steal my nudes. Their online anyway.

      Email is hosted off-site and I still have physical files for a lot of my documents. If someone stole hdds out of my server, they’d get a lot of Linux isos, pictures of cars, porn, tons of versioned software and games installers, etc.

      Maybe my definition of sensitive is different than yours though.

      I’m surprized as well, like I guess I would understand if it’s a no log DNS server but, what else wouldn’t have sensitive information.

        My Music, Movies and Shows, I dont consider them private/sensitive, as they aren’t illegal to possess or even download in my country. I would even donate my filled but corrupted drive to a repair guy, he can have the media if he can repair it.
