        @hi Python sources and cache and pyenv takes 659MB. VPS has 2GB RAM. The 3x uwsgi process seem to use 390MB, 401MB and 13M resident. Overall memory usage (including collectd, redis, nginx, etc) is about 880MB.

                I've also been hearing great things about Kagi, as @rqm@exquisite.social mentioned, and even got some Kagi stickers from a co-worker recently, so I feel sort of obliged to try it out.

                Kagi stickers. Rainbow flag, duck, tennis ball.

                            loved the colors and the pixels.

                            took me over three decades to see it on my screen :)

                                I love how blazing-fast it is on my old netbook. I'd continue to use it there if I could find a way to configure the keyboard the way I want, but it seems to have some Apple-ish bent to how it wants to interpret modifier keys, which drives me bonkers. No amount of tweaking was able satisfy my muscle-memory ☹

So this wasn't really our own decision. If IPv6 was available then we would use it. I didn't know it wasn't available before ordering, I blindly assumed it would be. Lesson learned.

                                                                                                                                        Our core servers, which also host our main website, are hosted in Berlin at Scaleup and we do have IPv6 available there. This is also where we develop and test our VM deployment system, which is already fully capable in an IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack environment. In fact, I had to make additional tweaks to have it work in an IPv4-only environment.

                                                                                                                                        Once the current server fills up we should be able to afford renting another server somewhere. If you have suggestions about other providers I would like to take a look at them. IPv6 is not the only selection criteria we have, of course.

                                                                                                                                        I'd like to avoid big companies, and I'd like to avoid data centers which do not run on renewables.

                                                                                                                                        Another factor is pricing. Root servers can be rather expensive in some locations. We need at least 64GB RAM per server and ideally the machine shouldn't cost more than about 150€/month to rent. This rules out most providers I have found in Switzerland and Scandinavia, which usually start around 250€. At that price the hosting company would eat all our funding for the server, assuming the server fills up exclusively with users who pay only 5€ per month. Because at about 40-50 VMs per server we run out of RAM. And we still have to pay taxes (VAT) to all countries our users are located in, which would then have to come out of our own pockets. Not to mention other expenses (a lot of time is being invested into this project and so far there has been zero funding for this part).

                                                                                                                                        And of course we have to trust the provider with physical access to our machines. At BSWS henning@ is managing our hardware, which is hard to beat in terms of trust.

However, slightly related, I can think of IN-Berlin. But they are only offering housing (or VMs) and not renting out servers, and have a "non commercial" clause on top, where I am unsure if Game of Trees Hub is suitable.

My personal website and all the gameoftrees.org services (website, git server, mail archive) are already hosted there.

It's a tool to take notes, connect them, and save/share them as a single file. Imagine a mix between Feather Wiki and Roam but with commands like on emacs. Feels strange, and exciting, to call it done. :) Hope you like it!
