[H-GEN] www.humbug.org.au half-yearly somewhat expected outage.

G'day,

HE.net's datacenter in fremont, which hosts the linode colocation
where our virtual machine for www.humbug.org.au has once again had its
UPS cause a power interruption. This is the 4th time in 2 years, and
it seems to happen every 6 months, or whenever there's exceptionally
heavy rain (whichever comes first).

I currently pay the bills for that machine, and I irc from it. As I've
recently moved to London it would be beneficial for me in two ways to
get out of that cursed datacenter, and move the linode to London[1].

I will provide humbug with lots of notice about the move, as it will
require coordination with humbug sysadmins to wind down the TTL on DNS
and change the ip address when we know what the new one is.

Stephen
