I could be crazy, but isn't the linked article exactly that? They also did a long series about how Ars itself is hosted[1] just a couple months ago. [1] Part 1 of 4 here https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/07/ars-on-aws-01/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/07/ars-o...

I remember, I was quite surprised to see that on the front page. But I stopped reading it back then, because the first paragraph had something along the lines of "we love to run our own infra, so when the opportunity came to switch to cloud, we couldn't be more excited". I stared at the screen for about 2 minutes, and then closed the tab. And yes, the linked article is exactly that, you are not crazy. One small thing: it's from 7 years ago.

  > One small thing: it's from 7 years ago. What article are you talking about? The one linked from this discussion thread is from last Friday. The one I linked in my comment is from 3 months ago.

    Oh, sorry then. In this case I take back the `you are not crazy` part :D The main linked article is most definitely not a hands-on nor technical article, at least by my definition (which may or may not worth crap). Just an eulogy for a dead switch, because the writer ran out of topics, and the Verge writers were sleeping. I was referring to the article that was linked inside the Ars article, a detailed hands on article about home networking, something which I was missing since Ars found out about Covid, and let the tech writers go.

      Ah fair enough :) I guess to me the linked article ("RIP to my...") is not a "repost from the Verge, Logitech press-release, [or] covid article" and is a "hands-on technical [article]", if a little on the fluffy side. So I thought you might've enjoyed the article. But, I guess not. I am also not a fan of Ars's health writer, but I enjoy most of the rest of their content.
