Not really, if I have a "source of truth" in my house, it's very easy to change my distribution partner on a whim. I host predominantly static websites, so using Cloudflare means I take nearly all the load off my own internet connection, let Cloudflare bear the (trivial) cost of distributing my content, and if I need to switch to another CDN down the road, I can with ease.

Well, TFA says:

> Ghost is hot shit, but Wordpress is also available. Ghost is brilliant for home hosting - many of its assets are hosted from free CDNs, leaving your home-server free to simply deliver text to the user

Which I find to be an entirely different kind of "farce" because it's then 100% dependent on a CDN / third party hosting. I very much prefer to have 100% self-contained self-hosting and put a front rev proxy / LB / mirroring CDN that can be switched from or entirely dropped by updating a DNS record.
