After a colleague showed me the Manor and 1984 I setup my syncthing again on two of my laptops at home. Then I blew away my DVD player PC and installed Debian 9. I looked again at my router and remembered I originally purchased it with the plan to turn it into a home server with piratebox or at least a free wifi with librecmc. Pretty sure I got the idea from one of the good folks on #dragora and from the article the fsf published.

2 Provider considerations

I need to setup a backup host somewhere. Perhaps one of these:

• 1984
• https://hcoop.net/
• https://www.a2hosting.com/

2.1 Requirements

• free software available and supportive
• crontab support
• mysql or other db
• https, preference via LE
• email with sane greylisting recovery

2.2 Nice-to-haves

• sudo/admin user
• mailman
• port specification, ring for example
• anonymous rsync access for end users
• throttling transfer speeds (for everyone's sanity)
• .onion addresses
