With Hetzner’s price rises taking effect, I’m moving piefed.social to somewhere else. Most likely it’ll be during a quiet time when few people will notice, around 00:00 to 3:00 UTC on Saturday.
EDIT: server migration is complete! Bringing it online in it’s new home was a bit rocky so possibly half the posts made while piefed.social was down were lost.
Into two old servers in my garage.
Are y’all gonna fit in there?
I don’t take up much room.
Nice, we’re all going to be nice and snuck there while we hunker down.
That’s great, but you should probably inform your members that the instance now falls under New Zeeland jurisdiction, no?
I also wonder how it will effect federation latency or so (not sure what to call it). Some Lemmy instances hosted in Australia had major issues with that in the past.
Good point about the jurisdiction. I’m not too worried about making a bit announcement about it though as this change simplifies things - before https://piefed.social/rules talked about needing to be legal in both Germany and New Zealand but now it’s just New Zealand. So now there’s less restrictions not more or different.
Lemmy fixed the latency thing a few versions ago :)
Well, it is true that you are not legally required to inform members if New Zeeland jurisdiction was already in the ToS, but “less” in this case also means less legal protection for your members as the GDPR no longer applies directly.
This makes me want to run a server on the servers in my garage
Gl!
