This is the second time on HN I've seen a piece that incorrectly refers to hosting stuff in the cloud as "self-hosting". Is there a language change afoot here?

But I understand where it comes from. We need some other term to talk about running your own services on machines you don't own or control. Something like "cloud-hosted".

Self-managed. It can cover both cloud and on-prem instances.

What that usually means is self-maintained, and I would rather outsource that to cloud/service vendors.
