I'd never sync my shell history with a third party. The self-hosting option looks interesting, but anyone comfortable with syncing their shell history with a third party is severely lacking basic privacy literacy and underestimates the sensitivity of command history.

All user data is e2e encrypted, but yes self-hosting might make you feel better about where your data lives

I self host a atuin server.

It is a very easy thing to do.

You can use atuin without syncing it between multiple machines.

I have my shell environments divided up into different distrobox containers. Some of them sync between multiple machines. Some of them don't. Depends what the shell is for.
