Well people diss Hetzner too, but I haven’t really had any issues with them either. So maybe reputations aren’t always something to go by.

Cool, I’ve always wanted to get back into Perl.

Ionos used to be 1&1 which had a fairly poor reputation. Not sure what it’s become nowadays. Apparently they haven’t gotten much better.

Compiz I think.

Countries like Europe, Africa…

It could be 7up.

They’re not cartons though.

My only currently active machine is a laptop named buttwarmer as per my cat’s suggestion.

Did you try fixing her?

What are those sites? For, um, science.

Same, except with big screen, and humongous screen.

That’s crazy talk.

archive.org is hosted in the US and could end up being a valid target. It doesn’t strike me as being a very good place to securely store anything nowadays. I’d consider anything hosted in the US to be out.

Are those Windows only?

Then they go on .external, obviously.

It should be reserved for sex toys.

Just saying.

Does it work with porn videos?

What’s ice cream? Well, you add flavour to cream and mix it while refrigerating it. It’s a classic delicacy.

Well, there’s always, you know, mail.

In truth, I’m going to have to deal with a shitload of new stuff. I’m going with a Dell or Supermicro server (as in rackable server) with between 8 and 16 disks, so I’m also going to have to deal with new hardware (I suppose everyone kind of has to, since they’re not running their usual software). And of course, I’m also doing HomeAssistant stuff on top of that, with all the Zigbee (or whatever other proper protocols I can stick on MTQQ) stuff, or else where would the fun be.

It’s a good thing I’ve been managing Unix stuff for decades (not that it makes me feel any better about juggling a dozen new things at the same time).
