I self hosted on one of the company’s servers back in the late 90s. Hard drive crashes (and a hack once, through an Apache bug) had our services (http, pop, smtp, nfs, smb, etc ) down for at least 2-3 days (full reinstall, reconfiguration, etc).

Then, with regular VPSs I also had systems down for 1-2 days. Just last week the company that hosts NextCloud for us was down the whole weekend (from Friday evening) and we couldn’t get their attention until Monday.

So far these huge outages that last 2-5 hours are still lower impact for me, and require me to take less action.

Solving issue for a few, and making issues for millions, including perhaps the few. It is easier to sleep at nights though, for a few.
