[OOTB-infra] Live showcase

[Ole Hejlskov]

I’ve just shot an email to my boss to get approval to rent a server at hetzner. I’m hoping to get a ~100-130€ (a month) approved, so Martin and I talked about one of these:

I’ll know more tomorrow and depending on the budget I get we make a decision and make the order.
