This morning I move the last of the services and data off the system I’ve had at LayeredTech since November 2005. This little AMD XP 2400 has given great service over the years, but the hardware got increasingly flaky and the cost of hosting at LT just keeps increasing for old kit. These factors in combination with a change of datacenters prompted me to bid it a fond farewell and relocate much of my offshore stuff to a shiny new host at hetzner.de, along with the chance to move to FreeBSD7.x, and free myself of the cruft that accumulates with 4.x -> 5.x -> 6.x migrations without clean installs.
RIP LT box

Nice one, I gave notice on my 2nd last Hetzner machine yesterday for the same reason, last remaining one before the DC move too.
Am also a fan of hetzner, think I’m up to about 10 machines there, good lot if you add a healthy helping of google translate :)

I do of course mean ’2nd last Layeredtech machine’.
