My compromise to preserve self custody:
Oracle Cloud offers "Free Tier Forever" hosting up to four VPS instances with Ampere CPUs(aarch64), up to 24Gb of Ram in total and 200Gb of storage total.
One of my instances (one cpu + 1Gb RAM + 50Gb) runs both HAVEN (private nostr relay) and Albyhub.
Once set up, it's painlessly forgettable. But running Albyhub on any flavour of Pi or old PC is also painless and the sovereign way.
Exchanging a FIAT system for a BTC one whilst delegating responsibility to third parties, even pocket sats, will continue to result in zeros for everyone.
