Very sad that StackOverflow which was one of the best examples of self hosted infrastructure is now unracking and decommissioning all of its hardware.
> For security reasons (and to protect the PII of all our users and customers), everything was being shredded and/or destroyed. Nothing was being kept.

Wow! That’d sure be some waste of disk drives and memory. Do they destroy it themselves or some contractor does this?

> We’ve since moved all our sites to the cloud. Our servers are now cattle, not pets

Because if you host your own servers and infra they are automatically pets? Seems like a weird statement. I think that phrase was even coined before cloud became really big.

Sad?

Great news for me! LOL.

Trashy site cannot disappear any sooner.
