bitartrate 8bitforlife.com 🙂 I know it won’t receive any traffic to speak of, but I’ve wanted my own virtual home again for a long while. I used to have a rack with quite a few servers in it serving up a relatively busy e-commerce site, SQL server, mail server, etc. In a month or three I will have a 1U box sitting in a colo facility. Being a man of little means, as well as a frugal old bastard, I was going to send it to Kansas City @ Joe’s Data Center. I got to thinking...Facebook and Google have data centers about 35 miles from me, surely there is at least a small facility sitting on some of that fiber near one of them. Sure enough, there is a small center that takes single 1U colo customers for about $40 per month (10TB of traffic, I think). I have another project that I started last year and hope to do much more on this year, if the virus stuff lets up, of documenting this area (the southern Appalachians) with info, photos, videos (especially interviews with old timers), etc. Seeing how much YouTube (understandably) further compresses my over the road videos (especially the 360 videos), I want to be able to serve up the videos straight out of the camera if I got the urge. Meh, even with all of that, this hobby is cheaper than drinking 😂
