something I should have mentioned on https://bitbang.social/@HeyQui/115923552429442588

I own a small datacenter facility in Brazil (AS263644). We have IPv4 addresses available and can provide co-location (1G and 10G), leased servers (I currently have an R710 on standby. It has dual PSUs, 192GB of RAM and I can option it with up to six 1 or 2TB SAS drives -- but I can arrange other hardware if needed).
I can also provide VPSs.

Hit me up! :)

I'm a sysadmin/netadmin and my carreer details are on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isoppo/ I've been looking for a job non-stop for over a year but haven't been able to land something other than the odd PC/laptop repair here and there. If you know of or have a position available for someone working from southern Brazil (GMT-3), please hit me up!

@HeyQui I'm afraid I'm not in direct need of a VPS, but could I ask how you got to own a datacenter facility? That's not an everyday thing to hear.

Is it a remnant from a previous company or did you set it up yourself?

@loadhigh It is a remnant of my previous employer, Websul.

The company sold off the fiber network and the active subscriber base, but my former boss retained the webhosting and telephony costumers. Then I partnered with him and we spun up a new company operating the former "Dataweb" facility and building a new business-only ISP.
His divestment contract with the folks that bought the old network prevents us from catering to residential access.

So we've been hemorrhaging money ever since 2023 🥴

@HeyQui I'm sorry to hear that.

It can't be easy to market hosting these days with all the big "cloud" hosting companies, and everyone saying "What if we suddenly need to scale 100x?!"

But even in my own case, I moved my email from a VPS to specialized hosting (email servers are such a hassle), so I'm also not helping.

@loadhigh It ain't easy but I actually think it's easier than business internet access.

In Brazil the move to FTTH started super early and most regional operators went all-in, so these days you have like AT LEAST 4 different fiber ISPs to choose from at a given address, so folks don't see the value in signing up for business internet. They'd rather just sign up for 2 or 3 cheaper residential links.
