We use our own hardware at Fastmail

Colocated / Dedicated is not Cloud, AFAICT. It's the "traditional hosting", not elastic / auto-scalable. You of course may put your own, highly tamper-proof boxes in a colocation rack, and be reasonably certain that any attempt to exfiltrate data from them won't be invisible to you.

By doing so, you share nothing with your hosting provider, you only rent rack space / power / connectivity.

And this is why I colocate, because all the data that hits my server is my data.

Sure I do have an AUP/T&C but without proper warrant no one is allowed to touch my server.

Case is monitored if it's opened. Encrypted on start-up, USB disabled. I just wished I had my own /24.

At least you can get your own /48, at least if you're under RIPE.

You should only do it if you expect to multihome though, or you're doing some experimentation that absolutely needs a PI address. Please don't pollute the default-free zone just for no reason.
