Old Oil mining rigs are known to be used for that. Other than that, as long your IP is sufficiently masked it doesnt matter if your servers are prominent or hidden in a bunker. Noone knows whats inside besides operators.

However, i think they broke TOR’s vpn ip masking by analysing traffic patterns on network nodes. So if they really wanna catch you, you are better somewhere they have no way of coming close. Think russia or other countries not too friendly with usa and not giving a flying fuck about copyright. The physical location of servers that is. The admin could sit comfy in the usa.

Also you could have the data encrypted on an AWS bucket but the server decrypting that should be more secure. Not sure how much traffic those sites have but that could ease the strain of on premise infrastructure you have to maintain.

How is play dumb the wildcard? If they had anything on OP they had him already fired. German chancellor used the prase “i dont remember” in court to get away scoff free from the biggest tax fraud case in german history. If they have anything on you, they’ll use it anyway. Saying anything besides “i dont remember taking food” is self incrimination. OP should be prepared to know the process of discarding food at the end of the shift though.
