X.org and Freedesktop.org are forced to find alternative web hosting solutions by the end of April, following Equinix's decision to discontinue bare-metal servers. Both organizations relied heavily on resources previously provided by Equinix, which are now unavailable. Project administrator Benjamin Tissoires expresses gratitude for the support from Equinix while outlining the need for over 400GB of database storage and almost 100TB of transfer capacity. Proposed solutions include self-funding server hosting and potentially improving security by using services like Cloudflare to combat AI bots that drain resources.
"Both the X.org Foundation and Freedesktop.org must find new hosting before the end of April, as Equinix discontinues its bare-metal server offerings."
"The collaboration with Equinix Metal was always kind and generous, but now we need to transition quickly to a new solution."
