[tahoe-dev] Stupid question: How can I keep my own data private?

[Jim Dorrington]

Ok, I think things are becoming a little clearer, thanks to Greg Troxel's
comments:

"However, note that tahoe-lafs is a piece of software, not a service.  So
there is no cloud already there suitable for backup.  In particular the
test grid ("pubgrid") should not be relied on.  I run a pubgrid storage
node, and when the disk gets full I just randomly rm shares, trying to
pick ones that seem likely to be from non-reciprocal users (people who
store more than they provide)."

And:-

"volunteergrid2 may be accepting members still, but IMHO you should get
more familiar with how tahoe works before joining a grid.
"

I had assumed that Tahoe-LAFS was a fully mature service with a wide choice
of grids to join.
Having now stumbled upon

I will do some more reading.
Thanks for your help
