The Cloud Is Just Someone Else’s Computer

Local vs Cloud Storage/Hosting
Local vs Cloud Storage/Hosting

As I’m watching what appears to be network issues in Colorado Springs, CO, I’m getting incredibly annoyed with the intermittent connection to my server and the periodic lost of data.

I *REALLY* need to “work locally, keep everything local, and only save/backup to the cloud.”

The cloud is NOT some magic that Google and Amazon manifest that is devoid of all issues. The old saying “the cloud is just someone else’s computer” is entirely true, they just may have a very differentย or more expensive computer than you do.

After losing my content twice, I need to do a remote->local backup and a build a local virtual machine that mirrors my server in Colorado. I should work on my local server, and just deploy content to my public server rather than “working in production.”

You’d really think I would know better by now?ย ๐Ÿ˜
