    If it’s in your server it’s not in “the cloud”, the cloud is code for “someone else’s server.”

      I was thinking more from the marketing perspective " We keep your data on our servers!" verses “We keep your data in the cloud!” since the point was that the marketers of these things in particular are fucking up the terminology.

      If you are already in possession of a server then you’re probably aware it’s not a cloud.

      “cloud” really means “several servers in parallel for redundancy” at which point it is kinda useful
