Trust any company but use encryption and other safe guards where possible. Problem here is that it's hard to know who to trust, and in the end relying on another forum member always makes it's way back to a data center anyway, so you're putting your trust in that company plus the additional risk of that member snooping on your data. If it's a private data matter (registering to actually buy a service) your best option is to go with a provider who aren't going to shaft you for providing fake details, paying on VPN or paying with crypto (which I'd recommend if you're concerned with privacy anyway)

Will do that for sure, won't be lagtrain related tho so you will never see it.

Sounds like a fun idea, but I just store them on my external ssd and in my homelab soon aswell.

Yea I usually do go the old school way and keep harddrives and etc but nowadays having a copy near you is a big risk so imo a place thats offshore and secure is my preference. Cant find a good company though so i think someone eventually gotta create the service for here at some point.

The only three I can think of are PrivateAlps (never used them, friend did and said they weren't good) BuyVM (require, at least in their ToS, that you provide correct and up to date information which is cross referenced with info you provide upon payment with either card or PayPal, but not crypto. They use FraudLabs if that helps) and lastly pq.hosting, which I've only heard of purely through word of mouth.

edit: not sure what happened there, seems like the quotes were fucked up after I tried removing the other guys' reply. Sorry if it bombed your notifications.

I'd say just be lazy and do nothing. Easiest option, always works.

host your bitcoin node with mempool.space

Most have given good idea already

I would add you can host i2p instance or if you want to contribute to breached you can make a file sharing service most use an various sevices like anonfiles , google drive or mega or some random service. This way you can ensure that everyone use a same service but I do not know how much total contact breached has.

tor/git/blog/portfolio/xmpp

What else can I host that contributes to myself/others?

Hosting on GitHub :dodgy:

tor node, easy.
