nope, just dead
After much celebration last week at the fact that I was to become a Speakeasy customer, it turns out that I'm, well, not. Apparently the loop on which I'll be living just doesn't support DSL, period, so I'm going to have to get a cable modem instead.
This is good and bad. Good because now I'll actually have cable instead of stealing it, and bad because I won't have a static IP at home.
ServerPronto to the rescue—I now have a dedicated machine at a CoLo (dedicated means I'm basically renting an entire machine plus network from them, so I'm root and they're not). This has the additional benefit of letting me transition pretty much seamlessly from my current situation without any downtime. I just have to get everything working on that machine first.
To do:
- kernel
- dns
- mysql
- sendmail
- imap
- apache2
- svn
- horde2
- cypherpunks
- ???
- profit

bitbucket
You should put /raid5/bitbucket on it, so I don't have to wait so long to download stuff from you.

parts, perhaps
...but I only have 40Gb of storage on that machine (went the cheap route), and apparently they're not so happy with piracy originating from their network...
Also, my uplink speed will be faster once I'm on a cable link, and I'm going to be doing dDNS, so you should still be able to get stuff directly from positron.

HavenCo CoLo
Speaking of colocation, HavenCo runs a colocation facility in the Principality of Sealand, giving you all sorts of freedoms from oppressive governments.

stripped links
since your blog stripped my links: HavenCo (http://www.havenco.com/) and Sealand (http://www.sealandgov.com/).

On the other hand, some people I know out here apparently know one of the guys who run the Sealand CoLo service. At times the boats don't have diesel and they can't go anywhere. Other times they power goes out *and* the boats are out and they can't go anywhere. Plus, this dude in charge is apparently a total asshole whom you might grudge every cent (*if* you knew him).
So I guess the key thing is not to know him and not to care about the well-being of the Sealanders.
Hoo!

The main downside to HavenCo is their exorbitant costs.
I'm well-versed in the political problems as well---it was a longtime discussion topic on Cypherpunks.
