  The cloud is basically by definition someone else’s computer, kind of inherently opposed to user control

    Yes. But you can still have a private VM in the cloud.

      How is that “private”? You would need to encrypt the memory somehow, but then the key to that is also somewhere in the cloud’s software/hardware… Afaik there is no possible way to make a truly private remote VM

        There is actually such a thing as encrypted computation, where the vm has no idea what it’s executing. But it’s slow as molasses.

        If your threat model involves spying on that level, sure, self-hosting at home is probably warranted. What I mean is that I’d rather have one powerful computer and the rest, laptop, phone, etc, use that resource instead of each device being an island. I don’t want my files spread out over so many devices, I want access to everything from everything.

        Private if you trust the provider. Any system can be breached.
