<description><p>My interest in self-hosting began in my with my interests in internet privacy. Plastered all over the internet are stories about how much Google, Facebook and Amazon know about you. I deleted my Facebook account years ago, and I&rsquo;m too paranoid to go back to the site because there&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/6nmjfh/facebook_account_fully_recovered_3_years_after/">a real possibility that Facebook has cached my account, ready to spin it back up</a> in case I try to login again. The ads served to me were too accurate for my liking.

I have become convinced of the idea that, if you are not paying for the product, you are the product. From this assumption, it follows that anywhere I trust with my data that I am not paying for (like Google Drive, Google Photos, Dropbox, Facebook, Twitter) is using my data to earn money. We know that <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/11/21559930/google-train-ai-photos-image-labelling-app-android-update">Google uses the labels you add to Photos to train it&rsquo;s AI</a>, and <a href="https://ai.facebook.com/blog/seer-the-start-of-a-more-powerful-flexible-and-accessible-era-for-computer-vision/">Facebook uses (at least) Instagram photos to train it&rsquo;s AI</a>. For some, the value proposition of allowing a company to use your data for a useful service in return is an acceptable one. I find this to be a reasonable stance, but I took my growing interest in internet privacy as a chance to learn about how I can take control of my data.</p></description>

<p>This is a great tool for managing files. I moved to this from Nextcloud because I am of the philosophy that I would prefer services that do one thing excellently instead of many things well. Nextcloud is an incredible Office365 replacement, but I found myself using a fraction of what it was capable of providing. Enter Seafile. It is cloud file syncing with a robust encryption implementation, just what the doctor ordered.</p></description>
