Apparently my internet was out for the last 20 minutes or so, and I’ve been browsing Lemmy, working on a doc in Nextcloud/OnlyOffice, and watching a movie on Jellyfin without even noticing.
I just happened to notice that the Matrix rooms I was in were all quiet.
That is impressive. I host a fair amount at home but do rely on lots of cloud services too. My doorbell won’t ring on all my smart speakers if the internet is down!
I used to have to rely on satellite internet, so I always avoided cloud services in favor of self-hosted options. Even without the draconian data caps, a literal cloud would cut me off.
I’ve got a decent ISP now, but I’m too invested in my on-prem stuff to change course. lol
I refuse to buy any smart devices that require online cloud services and I can’t control locally.
Those are actually just devices that won’t work in 5 years
