Self-hosting gets called sovereignty. Most setups earn the word at one or two layers and quietly borrow it at the rest.
Sovereignty is not the sum of your layers. It is the minimum. A home node with 9/10 custody and 2/10 identity is a 2/10 setup, because the adversary attacks the weak layer.
Five layers to grade: custody, data, compute, network, identity. A rented VPS fails compute, the hypervisor reads your RAM by design. A home service leaks more network metadata, not less. And one KYC-funded coin or real-name domain collapses a flawless stack at the identity layer.
Full five-layer audit, with the CLOUD Act jurisdiction trap and the metadata specifics:
