Remember Bush’s New World Order? It is the International Deep State and it is even worse than Trump paints the American version to be.
I wonder how much, if anything, the EU’s Articles 11 and 13 had to do with this...
Though the author loses me when part of his rationale for moving his servers to Iceland is “...on top of that Iceland is the world’s largest green energy producer per capita...” In other words, he feels the need to virtue signal (and simultaneously adhere to a nonsensical business decision) in the midst of a (for the most part) reasonable course of action for his business.
Iceland-Murdering innocent babies with Down Syndrome since 2017. Ya, real green country.
Think of how much money they save by not needing a “cold room” to house the servers. They just open a window.
Ping.

The brainwashed masses like Green anything.
Some Dove dish soap bottles have a picture of a cute baby duck with the caption, “Dove Saves Wildlife”. I wonder how many times a mother shopping with her child has bought Dove over another brand because their little kid said, “Mommy, Dove saves wildlife”!
Has nothing to do with anything here. Not every thread needs to be about abortion.
I believe the “Green” energy produced there is geothermal.
Iceland has been using very hot underground water, heated by volcanos and MAG-MA, to spin turbines to generate electricity for a very long time.
Long before there was a “green”, socialist movement.
As I read this I kept thinking that he needed to hire a competent Network Admin rather than trying to sort this out himself. He also needs a competent and qualified CISO.
Remember kids, cheap IT isn’t good, and good IT isn’t cheap.
Simply pointing out the facts. I think the taking of innocent human life is just at important as the 4th amendment.
I’m not sure there is really privacy any longer.
Not if you store digital data on anybody else’s systems.
Traffic still routes through whatever routers are less busy; packets can be stored for analysis later by any routing device along the way. Algorithms to generate encryption keys are often full of government back doors or directly hacked by governments, but the weakest link is data in transit.
Their storage sounds very secure, but the data has to get there from wherever you are, and that’s when it’s most vulnerable.
And CloudFlare and its content delivery network is housed out of San Francisco, easily access by the US Government.
Again, we really don’t know what’s going on in US government cyber warfare centers, but I can tell you, every military, intel, and now even agencies not associated with law enforcement or defense has them.
If the FBI can be corrupted by the likes of James Comey, or the CIA by John Brennan (both working for Obama), who’s to say other agencies haven’t gone completely rogue also?
Also—that form of geothermal electricity is about as reliable as it gets.
Geothermal, if you have it use it.
This is incorrect and the author is confusing two concepts. One type of memory, ROM (read only memory) can be stored on physical media such as a hard drive.
The entire post seems a bit “off.” For example, many cloud providers allow customers to create, own, manage their own encryption keys. This is not unique to Iceland. Another issue is “stolen” hard drives — he should be focused on data center physical security ingress/egress, authorization, rack access, etc.
Yup.
And, dig into the ground and get steam hot enough to run a steam engine and generate electricity or take a hot bath.
There are 320,000 Icelanders and they're closely related...many companies use that population to do genetics research.
Also, the Vikings stopped at Ireland on the way to Iceland and kidnapped the prettiest girls and took them to Iceland as wives....some say the Iceland girls are the prettiest because the Viking took on the prettiest Irish girls to Iceland. (DNA supports this claim)
Good for you. Take it to an abortion thread.
Nope:)
Plus having a server farm in Iceland makes sense. To cool the equipment, just open the window.
