mmm ahh i have a thought: are you able to run a VM on it
which you can let me have root access? it would allow
me to add a 3rd offsite backup via rsync. i will be TRUSTING
YOU (GDPR regulations, ssh private keys, password files)
so if you can make it an encrypted disk that you cannot ever
see its contents (only i can) that would be best. is that
possible and not too much hassle? actual disk allocation
needed is only about... 30 GB for now.

one on discount given my current employment situation ;)

ridiculous :)

happy to set it up with a DNS record when you have the IP.
oh.  IPv4 please: *no* IPv6. too seriously problematic.

usable.

sure go for it, preferably use salsa as the sync-source as it
has bandwidth sponsored by gitlab as part of the *debian*
sponsorship by gitlab.

this is to the mailing list and it went through fine.
if you sent anything else then i didn't receive it.

just fyi although jacb mentioned rate-limiting on exim4
(3 outstanding simultaneous INCOMING smtp connections so as
not to overload the VM) that has nothing to do with *google*
rate-limiting when it detects a "flood" of something like
400 gmail msgs (we have i think 600 subscribers) *per message*
delivered from a single IP address (smtp.libre-soc.org)
