   I build things.

   I build them on machines I own placed in racks I have they key to.

   There aren't any resource limits to hit and legal service is brought directly to me - not to a provider nor middleman.

   There also isn't a global MITM inserting itself between me and my users.

   I can't imagine doing it any other way and I implore you not to build things on complex, fragile, highly abstracted foundations.

      Agree, and also have a handprint that opens a data center door. But I've bought CF stock as a hedge...

      Completely agree, I use the cloud for one thing, to run Wireguard VPN to have a public point of presence but all hardware and services run right here where I'm looking at them right now and can put my hands on them.
