<2023-01-25T19:25:05.000Z> joemero@chudbuds.lol: hey josh, have you tried hosting in mexico? it seems the laws are favorable to customers about being banned for political reasons
<2023-01-25T19:29:00.000Z> joemero@chudbuds.lol: what would you need for that
<2023-01-25T19:33:08.000Z> josh: A private host in a datacenter with an upstream connection and an account manager on that upstream connection that they've known for 10+ years and can text.
<2023-01-25T19:33:14.000Z> josh: It's not the laws. It's not the laws. It's not the laws.
<2023-01-25T19:33:18.000Z> josh: Nothing we host is illegal.
<2023-01-25T19:33:20.000Z> josh: It is the private companies.
<2023-01-25T19:33:51.000Z> josh: Keep repeating myself until I'm blue in the face. It's not the laws. It's the companies. Unless you know a guy who owns a datacenter or has 10+ year connections everywhere in that datacenter it's not worth shit.
<2023-01-25T19:35:03.000Z> joemero@chudbuds.lol: yeah kinda know guys who work in large data centers, one of them manages all the dell servers in the state, pretty much, and so on, just want to know what to ask him
<2023-01-25T19:35:12.000Z> joemero@chudbuds.lol: to see if they could help you with that
<2023-01-25T19:36:55.000Z> josh: Tell him I host the Kiwi Farms. I have an IPv4/24 that has been unilaterally blackholed by the T1s, which, as far as I know, has never happened before. I need to announce my IPv4s in as many IXs as possible with as many peers as possible to stay on the Internet. I don't care where the IX is.
<2023-01-25T19:37:15.000Z> josh: I need a server with like 8+ cores just for an haproxy frontend, at least 1Gbps but more is nice, and Layer 3/4 DDoS filtering.
<2023-01-25T19:38:08.000Z> josh: Tell him if he decides to upstream us he WILL receive emails from this thing: https://i.poastcdn.org/4d53e21f855675ebcf7da8ed9ed14b2a35e942aa73585dc0af1e66cd9ea70d0c.jpg
<2023-01-25T19:38:24.000Z> josh: and maybe death threats and British people writing articles calling him a pedophile.
<2023-01-25T19:38:46.000Z> joemero@chudbuds.lol: ok, asking around
<2023-01-25T19:39:25.000Z> joemero@chudbuds.lol: if I get news will tell you
