Cloud is not going anywhere anytime soon. Everyone screaming for self hosting is rarely people who actually run large scale infrastructure.
Cloud infrastructure is a force multiplier for any individual, team or business. Of course it has privacy, 3rd party risk and tons of other implications but waving of cloud like some self hosted devices solve everything is beyond naive.
What we need is to make cloud better, not trying to convince people that they need to become part time sysadmins herding their pet raspis at home.
The amount of cloud infrastructure and rented servers I have deployed would be insanely capex prohibitive. Also it kills half of the startups before they even start if the first thing you do is you need to buy 50k worth of hardware.
Confidential computing, ecash and removing the need for ipv4 space addressing can improve hosted compute by orders of magnitude while still providing much of the same services. The solution is forward, not backwards.
