    To be fair, many of us in the tech world still say the cloud was a mistake as implemented and are seeing others come around to our way of thinking. AWS, Azure, and Cloudflare outages. Accounts randomly deleted. Privacy issues. Etc.

    Never mind that it’s now so much more expensive to host things there vs yourself.

  • I just finished moving one of my projects from Digital Ocean to a leased server. Even with a second host for backups, it's a lot cheaper and leaves me with plenty of excess capacity.

    It takes a little more time for maintenance but it's not too bad.
