Ask HN: How would you guard your data privacy?

I would like to hear what other HNers might be thiking of doing about keeping their data private. Feel free to be creative in your responses.

I no longer trust my data being stored in cloud services or data centers. I briefly considered storing them outside the US, but then I don't know who to trust there. I'm considering hosting them on my own servers, in my home, or in a trusted friends home. I'm also considering them being stored on my personal phone encrypted. I definitely want my email to be encrypted.

This has to be a problem on a lot of people's mind right now. Practically, what could one do?
