Not sure i did the transfer perfectly, but at least i can now log in from my desktop which is where i do most of my posting. Which should make it easier to post on here!
@swebb@ruario yeah, that's them at the time of checking the A record was pointing to a server in San Francisco (this could indeed change depending on location... but I am in the UK)
@paul@ruario I'm not sure how caching (if that's the right term) works with cloudflare but I would have thought there'd be something a little closer like LINX
@swebb@ruario oh yeah, absolutely... I guess UK datacentres just aren't good enough ๐๐
it is funny the existence of location based instances though, it's great we have them, but we cant guarantee their legal responsibilities just on their name. I do know of at least 4 UK based ones (although they all seem to use cloudfare as well)
@paul since the company I work for transferred to Outlook 365 from our humble domain server under the stairs we always joke about saying "hi" to a three letter agency across the Atlantic ๐ I think the local timeline makes sense for those location based instances, but in terms of legal responsibilities well I'm not sure how the admins would navigate that!
