I hope not, but I'm currently in the process of saving my Deep Hurting Project posts just in case (I think I'm about a quarter of the way there now.)
The whole goal of a lift and shift is to preserve data and function. So, yes, that is my goal. Tiberius holds the keys, so it's really up to him the direction things go.
And, of course, we all have our time, and so, it would be a good idea for Tiberius (or anyone else) to make sure that a backup admin can pick up the reins if need be. As for the ultimate cheapo server, one could configure things as a Tor hidden service and then publicize the .onion address on Usenet or whatever, but, volume to the site would plummet, as Google would not be crawling it, but, it would be the ultimate in cheapness. Of course, there would be more administrative overhead, as one would need to perform regular backups, which brings me to this not-so-pithy quote:
Quote:Two classes of hard disks exist, those that have failed and those that someday will.
