With the rising VPS costs I'm starting to wonder if it's better to move my VPS in-house(:D). Electricity-wise I might be break-even but I wonder if the bandwidth I get from my ISP will be the same, not that my services are high-tr

Western countries have routinely undermined democratically elected governments - Iran, Chile, so I don’t think they’re the paragons of values you think they are. Why should non-rich/non-western countries respect anything that the west
