> and those don't seem that compelling to me compared to cloud
I tend to be cloud-antagonistic bc I value control more than ease.
Some of that is practical due to living on the Gulf coast where local infra can disappear for a week+ at a time.
Past that, I find that cloud environments have earned some mistrust because internal integrity is at risk from external pressures (shareholders, governments, other bad actors). Safeguarding from that means local storage.
To be fair to my perspective, much of my day job is restoring functionality, lost due to the endless stream of anti-user decisions by corps (and sometimes govs).
