Yep it's quite true. If you are just going to host one or two things, you could get away with a Raspberry Pi, but I have about 40+ containers running, and I realise I'm on my 3rd or 4th iteration of hardware. I don't have anything fancy as my small form-factor server cannot even mount...
It’s the principal of the matter. Plus, my data, my decisions, my control & ability to easily manage, my privacy, my ability to swap platforms, my managing costs without surprise subscription increases or ToS I won’t read, and my learning of new systems, software, code, etc. OH and my ability to say FUCK YOU to big tech.
There’s way more benefit than convenience of “cloud”.
Haha, thank GOD it’s not about saving money!
