Not the entire country is on fire. Actually, I was thinking of starting one myself (I started, but only for myself, and to test waters, so at this point that’s self-hosted adventure: I have a few servers in just three locations). I’m in the west, so it’s quite stable here, more or so. However, we do have blackouts at this moment. One location is the office building, which has lots of solar panels, so that very server never went offline!

My concern is, I don’t know if/how that could be abused by Russians. Especially now, during the active war phase.

I’d love that to be a thing for someone who needs it, and it could be some support for the local economy either, so win win for everyone. But I’m very hesitant of the bad actors. Unfortunately, I don’t have the needed knowledge (meaning deep knowledge of some edge cases) at this very moment, but I keep thinking of buying a somewhat large land mass for a house plus a separate building for servers and all that. I imagine it won’t be something of a real data centre, but it might be a decent one (one day).

I’m not aware of any projects like that, I’m a foreigner here.
