Unfortunately in German only. A superb „OMR“ podcast episode with Klaus and his son as guests talking about past, present and future as well as some insights.

I ended up there via various links, image pages and API docs. Pretty interesting what is described in the article. Hardly a "problem" these days.

Amazing. Colorized a rare picture of my grandfather. Thanks!!!

Very cool commenting on our product. Saw your PiBox on kickstarter and PH. Love it!

There were more than a handful of free Raspberry Pi colocations. However, since there is real manual work and infrastructure behind it, there are no such offers anymore, as far as we could check.

Most domain extensions are already registered. And since we are from Germany, the term "Piccolo" sound very similar to "Picolo" but means something very different: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piccolo_(Sekt)

However, we would have definitely pursued an overlap/commonality of the word with, say, beer!

I personally vouch for our team, but think about it: your Pi is connected to the Internet. You are responsible for the security of the Pi (system security, updates, encryption ...). You send us the hardware in the mail. How many hands does the package go through? Of course, no one gets into the data center without access authorization, etc. pp.

Encryption of your data is the key here.

Thanks for the assurance. The concern with "mail order co-lo" is of course that the customers themselves don't travel to the DC to install and power up the server.

Cool spelling mistake found. It's already on our ToDo list and will be corrected soon.

Thank you, as far as we could find out, this is really unique.

GPIO: Currently there are no plans for this yet. It is not possible at the moment, we point this out during checkout and on the colocation administration page. However, we think nothing is impossible. If you have a use case, feel free to write me at colocation@examesh.de ;)

Thanks for mentioning it. Yes, there are quite a few use cases as these are already implemented by customers: Backup, Sync, Nodes (e.g. BTC Full Nodes), Relay, ...
