SJC PoP confirmed. I have traceroutes that die happy there.

Could be RSX-11M if it's the demo machine. CHM likes showing the industrial side, not just UNIX lineage. I asked a docent in 2019 and got a fifteen minute lecture about DEC's real-time systems that I did not ask for.

I have not visited the Mountain View location. The Tokyo branch's Fujitsu exhibit includes a SPARC64 VIIIfx board from the K computer that visitors can examine closely. No glass case. The heat sink alone is larger than most modern servers. I spent considerable time there.

Which providers take XMR for VPS these days?

Njalla takes XMR directly. Based in Nevis, servers in Amsterdam and a few other spots. I've had a 1GB there for two years, no issues. Not the fastest but they don't ask questions.

Oracle Cloud free tier does not take XMR. Obviously. But you wanted privacy coin options, so.

licensing is a suggestion
