The Cloud is Over-engineered, Over-priced (and Over-rated?) (youtu.be)

For most personal projects, hosting on the cloud may be overkill, but tempting with its supposed ease of use and benefits of scale. Self-hosting is often overlooked as a solution with the benefit of simplicity and cost.

Interesting discussion and demonstration of self hosting the kinds of apps most personal projects will end being.

It's a shame that he didn't do a writeup on this. It's nice to have a video to demo the workflow, but it's really annoying to go back to the video to get details to try it yourself.

videogist.co will come handy then

That looks useful. Thanks for the pointer!

Unfortunately, in this case I'm not interested in a summary. I already watched the video and would need to refer back to it for details, not general concepts.

I'll definitely use that site in the future though.

Edit: looks like it's not so good for long videos.
