I recently created several Virtual Machines on my new Hetzner server as part of my migration efforts from DigitalOcean to my self-hosted ESXi hypervisor. I don’t migrate my VMs and services away from DigitalOcean because I am not satisfied with their service, quite the contrary in fact. I am doing it because my own self-hosted hypervisor allows more flexibility for my learning and testing efforts.

IPv6 gets more and more important. I think 2016 will be the year when it get’s adopted on a large scale and finally will start to be mandatory with every new Internet connection — at least in Dual Stack configuration. My web and DNS servers are available via IPv6 for a while now.
