Why we moved our servers to Iceland
In the last few months, we moved our servers gradually to Iceland. In this blog post, I’d like to explain how we’ve achieved that, and most importantly, why. It wasn’t an easy process and I would like to share our learnings. There are some technical parts in this article which I’ve tried to write in an understandable way, but forgive me if it’s too technical.

Labour frontbencher resigns to vote against second referendum
In all my life I have never witnessed such chaos and reckless stupidity. Can it really be true that I only have fifteen days to enjoy my EU citizenship (despite the majority of people in the UK wanting to remain in the Union)?
The UK Government has failed miserably. The UK Parliament has failed miserably. If people aren’t allowed (are we children?) a second vote, then I think we shall see civil disobedience in the UK on a massive and wholly unprecedented scale. The only real question is the degree of unruliness and violence (which I believe is almost inevitable). Martial law is certainly on my radar!
