Cloud computing – own nothing and be happy

Unproofread notes

I really love this post from DHH talking about how cloud computing makes you renters for life. You actually own nothing and still be happy. To quote DHH exactly:

Cloud computing is the most successful "you will own nothing and be happy" psyop in history. We gave up on DARPA's beautifully, decentralized design for the internet to become renters for life. Tragic.

While this totally makes sense, I think, we don't have easily-digestible information about "self-hosting" on the internet. I mean, I haven't looked about it, but I still think that this should be more normalized among the dev peeps.

In fact, a person did point this out:

Someone should disrupt the setup/ops by making it actually EASY to learn.
