I am excited about dedicated servers. Yes, dedicated, not cloud servers in AWS or something like that. I am interested in running my own server for decades, but nowadays, since about 2 years, you get extremely powerful and reliable servers for already 40 bucks a month. That is amazing. The power you can deliver today compared to the costs reached a very good ratio. This was unthinkable 5-7 years ago and open a lot of possibilities.

I am an old sysadmin. I have been thinking recently I should get rid of my server in the roofspace and migrate stuff on it to the cloud. I had to climb the ladder today and reboot it from the terminal. It was like seeing an old friend. The old girl still has life in her. She's not getting put out to pasture yet (costs £3 to £4 a month to run).

The commoditization of dc space in the last 10 years has been nothing short of amazing. Today you can buy 100G port switches for pennies and run stock linux on them. With kubernetes you can build entire warehouse scale supercomputers on a budget when previously only google and select few could do it.

"dc space"?

The cloud is really just the centralized computing paradigm of the old days with a new coat of paint.

This fascinates me because people seem to have forgotten that the reason personal computing was such an incredible thing is that it freed people from that old paradigm. I suspect that, over time, people will lean anew why it was that being freed of it was such a great thing.

Yeah, exactly this! I'm always telling people that "the cloud" is just taking us back to mainframes and dumb terminals. Especially now with things like Chromebooks existing.

The most offensive thing of all is that modern dumb terminals don't have keyboards anywhere near as good as the old days.

I really hope there will be a layered solution allowing businesses to build their own scalable, resilient yet compact data centers.

This whole bite and switch let-move-on-cloud religion must end.

me, too

Plus, I really like Hetzner
