[Noisebridge-discuss] colo in and around SF?

[jim]

    a good security approach is not to have anything 
sensitive on your machines. maybe overwrite (reinstall) 
the OS on a regular basis. 
    sonic.net near santa rosa will accommodate a single 
1U colo. san francisco community colocation project 
(SFCCP) has a half rack in monkey brains' sublease area 
in the telx racks at 200 paul.
