So if I understand your reasoning correctly, you’d rather have 60 minutes of downtime per self hosted service per year (all at different times), than 60 minutes of downtime per decade for all these services at the same time (all fixed once CF fix their incident)?

Yes. For each individual service outage, I’ll probably be able to find a replacement or do without that single service for a while. When ⅓ of all the internet goes down, that’s it; we’ll all just suffer for the duration.

It’s like with stocks. A single stock I own might go bust, but with a diversified portfolio, I won’t really care. But if ⅓ of all stocks go bust at the same time, that’s a market crash.
