Rented Rackspace

[FingerlessGloves]

Here's my rack I rent in a datacenter with a close friend.

Used to run some services I provide people and a few personal bits using Proxmox. I have a 2.5gbit link between the two Proxmox hosts, for VM replication for important VMs. Then a RPi for quorum vote, so when a host fails, there's no split brain problem.

That price is awesome honestly. Very cool way to have some Pro space at a lower cost.

Dare i ask where this deal has been found, curious to know if its local as asking for a friend ;-)

I have been tempted to ask if I can get a deal somewhere i know the person operating it.
