I run my private nextcloud server on vultr. Everything is behind a login wall. They absolutely do not have my permission to use my years of notes, legal documents, calendar information, and photos (most of which have never been posted publicly) in any way!
> what else are Vultr supposed to do ?
Continue providing the services they do, with reasonable terms, or die. No, you can't just up and take all my photos and sell them to some AI training dataset because you wanted more money. Sorry!
Maybe it's time that basement servers should be the norm for self hosters.
I bought a HardKermel x64 servers and happy that I have no ToS to worry about. I can send encrypted back ups to utilize any cloud out there without a concern.
Could've tried Pi but some docker packages don't run on Arm.
What are you planning to do? I'm in the same situation, but without accepting the terms i'm no even able to "delete" my server/account. (already backing up things to move away)
