   I need to move from my current VPS provider to a new one. (means moving my snac\activitypub install).
   Which vps provider do you all use?

     After thinking about it - I think I'll switch to tailscale, host the things I currently run on VPS to my own server instead of renting a VPS. I'll migrate some other services this weekend, if that works I'll move the snac instance as well.

     Yeah, I was thinking about that as well, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to take the leap to OpenBSD for the other things I need. But openbsd.amsterdam was on top of my list of providers I wanted to check.

     @stigatle For snac openbsd would be great, for instance via openbsd.amsterdam.

     Running at home is also an option, if you link and IP assignment are somewhat stable enough.

     Yeah, you create a tunnel between your own machine and their service, you then poiint your domain to the ip etc that they then provide and route it through there. I think I'll give it a shot before I decide.
     I'll move my git server over to that - and keep the other things as-is, if that works fine I'll migrate the rest. Will probably take some time this weekend to look into it.

     @stigatle Is tailscale a way of forwarding IP adresses to your ISP without constant updating as you local IP changes, I wasn't sure reading their site.
     If so it sounds interesting as I would like to try some local hosting but always stopped due to dail IP adress changes.

     got to work on it today, I decided to spin up a ubuntu vm, and then move all my stuff to that, I got that hooked up now to tailscale and i had to set up a 'funnel' which then exposes the server port on my local machine to the internet, i can now reach it through a url.
     I then just need to set up my dns records to point to that, then I can move things and start them up. All in all - easy process, not hard to set up. Very pleased with it. Also - by using a VM i can easily back up the whole thing and move between machines if needed.
