       Friendly reminder that if you download software updates for Fedora or AlmaLinux from London, there's good odds that your software updates are coming from an HP thin client sitting in a road box in Surrey.This is perfectly fine, and how free software / the Internet actually works.#MicroMirror #Fedora #AlmaLinux #Linux #FOSS

       Context: @warthog9 and I run a managed appliance service called MicroMirror, where we take cash donations (https://en.liberapay.com/phirephly/) and use them to deploy free software download mirrors based on the cheapest hardware possible. https://blog.thelifeofkenneth.com/2023/05/building-micro-mirror-free-software-cdn.htmlThe B4SH ISP in Surrey volunteered to host one of our appliances in their network, so they donate space, power, and transit capacity for the server we ship them to just plug in. For some reason, this was the best spot for them to plug this server is. 🤷 We are up to 35 of these Micro sized download mirrors worldwide. Because these sorts of things just tend to get out of hand for me.

       @kwf Very sorry, but I have to ask....Is that data center bigger on the inside?
