Mid 2021 a good friend of mine offered a great deal on some actual hosting in a datacenter. Now we had 8vCPU + 8GB RAM to play with, time to migrate everything. After a few hours of mastering `rsync` and `pg_dump` - it was done, we were set for awhile. At least that's what I thought..

Costs have gone up a little bit. It's still mangable for the time being and I plan on supporting this long term.
