AWS discussion

MostlyK and Ibiam merged Sugar-AI and tried running an instances for it but our blocker was Amazon as of now because our G spot and on-demand request got denied. AWS is not a viable long-term solution for us. Om Santosh will deploy his app on AWS. Mebin is running on Azure for the time being. Maybe we should buy a GPU? But where would we host it and who would maintain it?

Sunjammer and server infra

Too much down time, but we don't know why.
ACTION: We need a plan to both understand the issues and come up with a realistic path to maintenance.

Tip of the hat to FSF.

DNS update

We moved to CloudFare to increase reliable uptime. Tip of the hat to Mebin, Ibiam, and Devin.
