    When AWS had the major outage recently, my self-hosted services kept on running. The programs on my Linux machines and other devices I own were also not impacted. Thanks, Jeff, but I’ll stick with my “antiques”. Also, fuck you.

      Yep, I’ve had one power supply fail in like 15 years. That and power outages was it for downtime on my own equipment. Can’t say that about other services I’ve used.
