  Aren’t those even less reliable? I participated on MetaFilter for a long time, a website running on a server in a guy’s closet. It was up and down, up and down. It became the bane of his existence. It was slow. I’ve heard other similar stories over the years.

  So I’m genuinely curious - how would this solve anything?

    I think they are saying they would rather depend on software and hardware that they can more or less control rather than cloud services
