I don’t have anything specific, self-hosting is a big subject. I recommend checking out https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted / !selfhosted@lemmy.world There’s a lot of helpful folks over there

Have you considered self-hosting? Nextcloud is a great alternative to stuff like Google docs, etc…

Will any of them win?

Just started Rise of Empire, Volume 2 of The Riyeria Revelations. I’m normally a pretty picky reader (Sanderson has spoiled me…) but this series is just plain solid so far. It’s not great in any area, but it does well in most. Vol 1 felt a bit like a mix of LOTR and Wizard of Oz. Just a quest to find a thing and picking up folks with necessary skills along the way. The character development could use some fleshing-out, but that seems to be happening a bit more in vol 2. Overall, I recommend this series (so far), good fun.

I worked in operations for a large company that had their own 50,000 sq ft data center with 2000 physical servers, uncountable virtual servers, backup tape robots, etc… Their cooling bill would like to disagree with your assessment about scaling. I was unpacking new servers regularly because, when you own you own servers, not only do you have to buy them, but you have to house them (so much rented space), run them, fix them, cool them, and replace them.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve also seen the AWS bill for another large company I worked for and that was staggering. But, we were a smaller tech team and didn’t require a separate ops group specifically to maintain the physical servers.

Have you ever read “Way, way too DRY”?
