For a growing number of reasons, as with most people here, I am more desirous of self-hosted solutions to replace proprietary ones, yet, as with many others, I am not in a position to fully self-host with a server at home. Any comments on kinda-self-host, where you rent a server from a third party and do all the same shenanigans on it? Specifically, I'm thinking of data storage and streaming.

Please share any information resources if you can.

Data storage: you can do pretty much whatever, they won't look at your stuff unless you do something that attracts attention. Of course encrypt it anyway.

Streaming: yes that attracts attention if you stream to the public. If it's edgy or pirated content you can't use the big providers. If it's your private collection that only a few people know about, it's like the situation with storage.
