my biggest fear of starting to work with servers professionally is realizing that no one uses servers anymore and having to do some cloud bullshit instead

@kat That's thankfully not entirely true. There are some companies that are starting to realize that "Cloud" is _actually_ more expensive and so we're starting to see a bit of a migration back 🤞
@prologic i have seen some posts on this! that's definitely reassuring. i don't know cloud stuff at all and don't want to. servers forever....

@kat Using full-blown Cloud services is good for old people like me who don’t want to do on-call duty when a disk fails. 😂 I like sleep! 😂
Jokes aside, I like IaaS as a middle ground. There are IaaS hosters who allow you to spin up VMs as you wish and connect them in a network as you wish. You get direct access to all those Linux boxes and to a layer 2 network, so you can do all the fun networking stuff like BGP, VRRP, IPSec/Wireguard, whatever. And you never have to worry about failing disks, server racks getting full, cable management, all that. 😅
I’m confident that we will always need people who do bare-bones or “low-level” stuff instead of just click some Cloud service. I *guess* that smaller companies don’t use Cloud services very often (because it’s way too expensive for them).

@movq hahahah i for one hate sleeping and need to be busy 24/7 or else i go insane so server stuff is awesome for my ADHD ass!!!
IaaS does seem kinda interesting to me, i think i could vibe with that more than full on cloud stuff
i hope i can be one of those people who does the barebones stuff bc i am a rare sicko who finds it fun and cloud stuff scares me LMAOOOO
