I never trust software nor hardware that can't be verified.

I trust software to an extent IF it can be verified.

But even so, if there are options to self-host, I will.

If there are options to pull as much responsibility onto myself, I will.

As for hardware, I always custom-flash everything I get my hands on so that the potential attack surface for hardware becomes minimised to, potentially and hopefully, physical backdoors. I then secure said hardware.

If I can't secure something, if I can't trust something, I consider it disposable. I don't consider my sats disposable. And every time I zap something, I mean it, knowing full well what future-wealth I may be giving away.

Absolutely, but I also believe bridging the gap with a little proof of work, and using services like nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 which offer full custody of your sats.

Does it mean you need to learn a little on what a channel is and how to open it? Sure, but you get full custody.
