Sadly I start decommissioning the bulk of the Brass Horn Comms hardware as Pulsant has increased our Colo costs by hundreds of pounds by forcing us to buy a minimum of 8A of power (despite using ~1.75A over the past 10 years due to our use of ARM), dual 10Gb uplinks (we're on a 200Mb CDR) etc etc.

Yes we used to have a ex-employee discount without which we'd never have been able to start but forcing minimum commits way above what we need (especially during a time when AI is stealing power and water from communities) is just frustrating.

The exits will continue running till October, then we'll need to continue paying for other bits till July 2026 because Pulsant didn't align contracts with the Colo itself and auto-renewed on 12 month terms :/
