Discuss mailing list

["D.T." <danter AT openmailbox.org>]

hello,
i only recently joined the mailing list, and this message has taken me by surprise.
after having a look at the list of servers being shut down - both servers i'm currently using are on that list. of course i can change that, but i'm trying to get a sense of the importance of this event.

what i'm asking:
does this mean that a significant amount of all opennic dns servers are being shut down very soon?
i'm a bit surprised how one single person can have servers in so many countries...

while i cannot "commit to sponsor continuation", i'm very willing to make a donation.
would a donation to the opennic project help?
i'd prefer a normal bank transfer, but maybe i'll figure out bitcoin one of these days...

PS:
why are we talking about "Tier 2" servers? it seems all the opennic dns servers are tier 2 servers?

cheers,


danter

Dear OpenNIC users!

Due to recent events (complications with my old employer resulting in getting fired) I will have to put this to stop and discontinue providing most* of the OpenNIC Tier2 servers named "fvz-rec-*".

It is a very hard decision for me to do this but the lack of income and the server costs of about 500€ per month forces it anyway sooner or later, else I'll be broke and things will get worse.

If you are willing to commit to sponsor continuation of specific server(s) please contact me directly for a donation (either to me or as credits to the provider).

You can find the full list of Tier2 servers I provided here: https://scr.meo.ws/paste/2015-10-07-15-29-02-X48cYQK6.html

You can find suitable replacement servers here: https://www.opennicproject.org/nearest-servers/
