Building your own data center isn't enough, land ownership is a myth as you'll still be locked in to your government via property taxes.

The real self-hosted solution is running your server off a solar powered yacht in international waters while transmitting and receiving all data via worldwide shortwave radio. Fire any customers not willing to invest in a SW-Ethernet adapter.

Shortwave radio depends on ionospheric conditions, which can be manipulated via nuclear blasts, ionospheric heating facilities, solar activity, and volcanos. Instead you must modulate a neutrino beam from international waters using a nuclear submarine for power. Fire any customers not willing to invest in kiloton-scale neutrino detectors.
Or just use the regular Internet but conquer the entire world first to make sure nobody can tell you what to do with it.
