@vernissage please move off AWS…. Consider speaking with fastly for s3 + CDN (the fast forward program offers free hosting for FOSS)

@shlee Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂

If I ever move the data somewhere else, it’ll probably be to an EU-based provider. But honestly, a migration like this is a huge amount of work and comes with a fair bit of risk. I just don’t have the time, energy, or bandwidth for it right now.

And there’s no guarantee that after spending all that effort I won’t end up having to pay anyway, or find out the service isn’t quite as great as it looks today. So for now, I’m happy to leave things as they are. 🙂
