Neil Young has announced that his Archives (NYA) have completed platform migration from Amazon to DigitalOcean per a statement.
The now-completed migration was considered technically demanding and costly internally. The migration team was led by archivist Phil Baker, together with DigitalOcean's engineers, who developed a new infrastructure for cloud storage, databases, and servers. As part of the move, the entire streaming workflow was also modernized to improve performance and scalability. A key component of the new architecture is a "hot storage" layer. This temporarily caches frequently requested audio content. Frequently streamed tracks can thus be delivered more quickly without constantly accessing long-term storage. For platform members, this translates to shorter loading times, more stable streams, and fewer interruptions during peak usage.
By making the migration away from Amazon to DigitalOcean's platform, Neil Young believes that the switch is part of a larger movement away from the dominance of a few technology companies and toward independent digital services and stronger local structures.

Sun Green. Be the Rain!
Trump has accidentally boosted Green Energy by engaging in this idiotic Iran War! Even though all he wanted was “beautiful coal” & fossil fuels, he has inadvertently caused the largest exodus from fossil fuel dead energy “that the world has ever seen.”
Congratulations Mr Trump, you accidentally caused something good despite your evil intent.
The world needed a miracle, a green cheerleader to bring on the change needed to save the human (& critters, & nature).
The Environmental catastrophe of the status quo has ended. The Idiot King has inspired the world like a speech of his never could. Dump is not known for being a green booster. He fought his hardest to defeat green energy.
But fighting his hardest collided with the Iran war & the evil bombing of civilians by the US. We all have blood on our hands, your US tax dollars at work.
Luckily for the good people of Earth, Trump is such an idiot that he brought on the very thing he hoped to destroy.
Except for that Trump’s long con will be after the world economy crashes, he & his cronies will buy it all up for Pennies on the dollar. It’s gonna be a “fire sale.”
Good for Neil Young for not supporting welfare for Billionaires! Good for Neil Young! Long May You Run!
Blue wave gonna sweep the Reds & Putin lovers off their feet! Trump is either an agent working on behalf of Putin, or, he just did every single thing Putin ever told him to do!
Putin must have some good videotape of Trump. “Epstein videotaped everything.” At last we understand the incomprehensible.
Let’s send Trump to Hell while he is still alive, with our peaceful protest in massive form.
#NoKings has been growing by the million each time. Now that we have a shot @ decent weather, lots of people are going to start protesting all day, every day. Don’t lose your job over it, but ya, go protest! Make a sign!
There is amazing positive energy among the members of our protest movement. There is healing in community when you join like minded birds of a feather in protest. It feels very good.
So yes, make a sign to carry, or just show up. We need to heal after the damage done by Trump. We need National healing after bearing witness as a nation to Trump’s endless war against decency.
We need to heal after the horrid crimes & horrible actions of the Idiot King. Crimes against humanity. Just like Netanyahu.
No more Gaza genocide! No more US tax dollars for weapons to give to Israel. I am part Jewish, so don’t freak out too hard by what I am saying.
Let’s make a better world to live in!

Alan. Did you catch T Rump’s “Read My Lips” moment?
Speaking on the White House South Lawn before departing for a diplomatic trip to China, Trump was asked to what extent “Americans’ financial situations” were motivating him to make a deal with Iran.
“Not even a little bit,” Trump replied. “The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran — they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing — we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all.”
I DON’T THINK ABOUT AMERICANS FINANCIAL SITUATION. I DON’T THINK ABOUT ANYBODY.
If he isn’t thinking about Americans, he for sure isn’t thinking about other global citizenries or economies.

Ya Herb, I did see that he had made that remark: political gold for the Dems! Not just the gold leaf kind!
Herb, you got all of that right in your commentary. The world economy is going to crash.
Trump showed the world that Oil is unreliable! The supply got interrupted & it is going to result in economic catastrophe for many around the world. Countries can see that green energy is the answer. China is there to provide products & Tech.
Dumb shit Trump blocked all of the many hundreds of thousands of green energy jobs the US could have created. US could have been a leader in Green Energy! Instead Dinosaur Dumbass Dump steers the country right into the ditch. What an asshole! Never worked a day in his life! Lazy ass sleaze bag, our kleptocracy & the wannabe dick tater.
If Trump likes it, most likely it’s rotten, whatever it is. If he hates it, it’s got to be a virtue. This is a rule of the universe in Trumpian nightmare times. Any good act is wrong, & being a prick is Great!
If homeless get fed & housed, that would be a Christian kind of a thing to do maybe… Trump would not like that. What a F’ing prick our idiot king is. Never missed a chance to do the wrong thing.
He believes in nothing except chaos & destruction. He does not have the Midas touch- quite the reverse! Everything he touches turns to crap.
US Empire crumbling as we watch in horror. When will the Republican Congressmen open their eyes & find their backbones! Stand up! Save the US from the president! Any crime of his must be punished. His administration will be prosecuted. Some for war crimes! Trump & Hegseth are war criminal. I am pretty sure Stephen Miller will also be held accountable eventually. Unless they all move to Russia.
Let’s fix this shit! No more wars! No more genocide! Health care for all! Shelter for those who need it! Food for the hungry! School & protection for the kiddos.
