To be fair, self-hosting with 10-year-old open-source projects is surprisingly trivial! But also,

If I can self-host a global anycast caching proxy network with multiple upstream as a side hobby with a full-time job, I think most companies with 100+ people can too. Or at least bother with redundant CDNs…
i consider myself pretty technical and I have to admit I don't know how to do this. I think nostr:npub1uvl7vhclmezvdhqha6eclkksln40rjhgwgsggvew683jf93fr4pq3mq3sd was telling me he had a similar setup.
Sure, but that’s the problem. It’s not super hard (not trivial, I don’t expect startups to do it, but if you have 100 employees?), but no one bothers to do it anymore, so it’s not something anyone needs to learn/teach. Even worse version is DNS - many web engineers feel like DNS is scary, despite it being easier to handle in nearly every way than HTTP (easier to make redundant, easier interoperability between servers, easier to configure, etc).
