When you say “screw the cloud”, you mean “administer an EC2 machine yourself” or really “buy your own hardware”?

The former, mostly. You don't necessarily have to use EC2, but that's easy to do. There are many other, smaller providers if you really want to get out from under the big 3. I have no experience managing hardware, so I personally wouldn't take that on myself.
