gollark: I have an old tower server which costs maybe £5/month to run, which provides ~4x the CPU/RAM and ~10x the disk I'd get from a cloud provider at similar pricing, plus I could install a spare GPU when I wanted that. This is a very extreme case since I am entirely ignoring my time costs on managing it and don't have as much redundancy as them.(Edit: also terrible internet connectivity, and colocation would be expensive)
gollark: Possibly also that you can hire fewer sysadmins? But I'm not sure they're that expensive if you have a lot of developers anyway.
gollark: I think the argument for cloud is mostly that it's much faster to scale than "have a bunch of servers in your office", but it seems like you pay an insane amount for that.
gollark: Most of them have tons of managed services plus quick to deploy VMs.
gollark: Depending on how you define cloud, I guess.
