If you ever find a weakness please contact us quickly and we'll immediately correct any issues. We are running our own servers! The monocles.de main servers are powered by our own solar plant. Shorter power connections save a lot of energy. Only when really needed do we use renewable energy from external energy providers to ensure constant availability We also try to employ used parts as much as possible or even recycle old things to build up and upgrade the solar system and the server station with respect to the security of your data and stability of the connection. Recycling and reusing things as much as possible is the best we can do to minimize the damages towards the environments. * New: Because of the increased traffic we have to temporary host the monocles.eu instance on a trustworthy hosting provider which also uses renewable energy for the servers. This is only necessary until we have enough resources to host it at our datacenter. Help us saving the planet and ecosystem.
