T320 owner here. Replaced the fans with noctua redux and it's whisper quiet now. Lost some thermal headroom but it's fine in a climate controlled room. $80 in fans, best upgrade I did.

Running esxi free because that's what work use...

I am in Milan and I administrate servers for a small design collective. We use HostHatch in Milan and I received nothing, but my colleague in Madrid got the same email kenji3 described. Same "data sovereignty migration" text. So it is not even all accounts at a provider, they are selecting by region...

Assume compromise: your minecraft box was an attack surface. Threat model your career path the same way. The blast radius of a bad cert vendor is your wallet. Zero trust the bootcamps.

In Milan I keep a 256MB HostHatch instance for MTR probes to our POPs. Could probably shrink it but why bother — the storage VPS pricing makes the compute almost free at that tier.

128MB feels like the 32MB servers I ran in 2005. Possible, but you're maintaining a museum piece.

I sell mostly .it domains and the market is tiny compared to .com, but I've used Nidoma a few times — they're Italian, focused on ccTLDs, and they hold funds in a segregated account before transfer. Not useful for your LLLL .com but mentioning for anyone in the Eurozone with country code inventory....
