  I turned off my French server after nearly five years. It
  wasn't possible to upgrade its Ubuntu install any more (or
  at least, to make it boot a newer kernel). Scaleway had
  accepted a bunch of government money to launch some physical
  ARM based dedicated servers, but I don't think it was a
  profitable endeavour for them.

  Of course, now that things run from my basement, I need to
  worry about the uptime of my house network. I had some
  firmware upgrades to do at the weekend which caused some
  blips and dropped my PPPoE session and I have some upcoming
  maintenance for the building power which will probably
  involve some downtime. Such is life, I guess.
