@interpipes@thx.gg @rogerlipscombe@hachyderm.io @bloor@bloor.tw I always felt a lot happier having the servers along the corridor in the same building. Things like proxmox can help reduce the management overhead, but does require in house knowledge. I would argue that this is a good thing to have!

@nick @rogerlipscombe @bloor we love Proxmox and supply and manage VMs for a number of customers on it, at least one of whom spends much more - by an order of magnitude at least - with Azure for markedly worse results.

Cloud trades heavily on turn-key-convenience but boy do they charge for that luxury.
