Context: @warthog9@social.afront.org 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.

The 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@social.afront.org @warthog9@social.afront.org Very surprised to see an ISP using #ZyXEL gear in their core network; they have a TERRIBLE security track record.

@kwf@social.afront.org @warthog9@social.afront.org This unit looks like it should be called PicoMirror! I've had TV remotes larger than that thing.
