Most people pick a web host on price and uptime. Almost nobody checks which country's laws their data actually lives under.

But jurisdiction decides who can compel access to your data, and a US-based host is subject to the CLOUD Act no matter where the server physically sits.

We wrote about why your host's country matters more than the specs do:

Hello, fediverse. I’m Matt. Reformed Christian, recovering enterprise architect, now running a small IT shop in south-central PA. I write three or four times a week at mattymil.com, mostly theology and the odd essay on why the Enlightenment was less neutral than it claimed.

it's currently costing me about £32 a month on digital ocean for my #YunoHost server.

I guess you need to water the garden you want to grow. i.e. self-host over big tech.

Tomorrow! Join Grist Labs co-founder Stan for a demo of Grist's new MCP server.

We'll start small and then show off a complex workflow that leverages multiple integrations, so there's something for everyone.

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or your own local models to your docs over the Model Context Protocol, then list and query tables, read and write rows, and build schema, all via OAuth with scoped access.
