Jonathan Kamens 86 47<p>Contemplating whether it's time to start moving my family server (email, blog, web) out of the U.S. It's currently hosted by Linode. It was built out incrementally by hand over years, so moving it would entail writing from scratch and testing a whole bunch of Ansible code, so there's some lead time involved in getting it right. I think I can't _quite_ justify the time investment yet, but hopefully I'll notice it's time to start before it's too late.<br><a href="https://federate.social/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SysAdmin</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/TechDIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechDIY</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/SelfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosting</span></a></p>
