Why we need new server hardware. The full story.
In 2018 I was offered a second hand server by Servercow.de (now tinc.gmbh) - the hosting company that I still trust and that still hosts my main infrastructure for 650thz.de and some private stuff.

Dear metalhead.club / trashserver.net User,
in the last couple of years some of you have made use of the European SEPA bank transfer method to send donations [1] to me.

On 8th of December 2022 I received an email by PayPal, saying that my PayPal account has been limited. Payments and withdrawing money to my bank account were disabled. PayPal said that I needed to provide some more information about my business. Such as personal information / ID card, invoices, proof that my customers have received their goods and more.
But the point is: That PayPal account that was connected to my private bank account and was solely used for personal transactions to friends, family and for collecting donations for metalhead.club and trashserver.net. There was never any serious business going on with this account. Just private stuff.
Both of my publicly available internet services metalhead.club and trashserver.net (“650thz.de”) will become part of by small business “Leister IT” as of January, 1st 2023.
TL;DR: both services will be part of my small business to reduce legal risks and uncertainties
