No one else uses the term "cloud" like that.
That part of this comic really stuck out like a sore thumb. I can't tell if it's an oversight, a comment about the challenges of self-hosting, or subtle mockery of self-hosting hypocrisy.
Broadly, "the cloud" is just someone else's computer. VPSes still fall into that definition. A lot of VPS providers describe themselves as "cloud" now too (eg one of the main hosts I use, HostHatch, describes themselves that way on their site).
If a single AWS EC2 or Lightsail server (which is essentially just a VPS in one region) is considered to be "in the cloud", why not a much cheaper, more powerful server with a different provider?
Nextcloud can be selfhosted
My interpretation of "cloud provided media storage" in the context of self-hosting is something like seaweedfs.
I use "my personal cloud" all the time. But that's just me.
I got another one. Self hosted but tunneled through cloudflare
